Diversity, Ecological Role and Potential Biotechnological Applications of Marine Fungi Associated to Mediterranean Seagrasses and Algae
The marine ecosystem is an extreme environment characterized by high salinity, low water activity and scarcity of nutriment. Marine fungi play important ecological roles and represent a large source of novel metabolites and enzymes. Despite their great biotechnological and pharmaceutical potential, they remain one of the most under-explored group of organisms in the marine environment. Moreover...
متن کاملMarine-derived fungi: diversity of enzymes and biotechnological applications
The ocean is considered to be a great reservoir of biodiversity. Microbial communities in marine environments are ecologically relevant as intermediaries of energy, and play an important role in nutrient regeneration cycles as decomposers of dead and decaying organic matter. In this sense, marine-derived fungi can be considered as a source of enzymes of industrial and/or environmental interest....
متن کاملBiotechnological potential of marine sponges
Marine sponges (Porifera) have attracted significant attention from various scientific disciplines. Remarkable traces, left by sponges in the fossil records have been studied by paleontologists and evolutionary biologists. As sponges produce various novel chemical molecules, they have been a goldmine to chemists and also found their way into biotechnological applications. Microbiologists became...
متن کاملDiversity of cultivable fungi associated with Antarctic marine sponges and screening for their antimicrobial, antitumoral and antioxidant potential.
The diversity of sponge-associated fungi has been poorly investigated in remote geographical areas like Antarctica. In this study, 101 phenotypically different fungal isolates were obtained from 11 sponge samples collected in King George Island, Antarctica. The analysis of ITS sequences revealed that they belong to the phylum Ascomycota. Sixty-five isolates belong to the genera Geomyces, Penici...
متن کاملEndophytic fungi from medicinal plant Bauhinia forficata : Diversity and biotechnological potential
Bauhinia forficata is native to South America and used with relative success in the folk medicine in Brazil. The diversity, antibacterial activity, and extracellular hydrolytic enzymes of endophytic fungi associated with this plant were studied. Plant samples, which included leaves, sepals, stems, and seeds, were used. Ninety-five endophytic fungal were isolated (18 from leaves, 22 from sepals,...
