Xylarinase: a novel clot busting enzyme from an endophytic fungus Xylaria curta

Identification and comparison of Xylaria curta and Xylaria sp. from Western Ghats-Courtallum Hills, India

Optimization of zofimarin production by an endophytic fungus, Xylaria sp. Acra L38

To optimize the medium for high zofimarin production, sucrose maltose, glucose, tryptone and peptone were used in an orthogonal array design experiment, where the highest value of zofimarin produced was 25.6 μg/mL. This value was about 3 times higher than that obtained with Czapek yeast extract (CzYE) culture medium. A study with Plackett-Burman design showed that sucrose, maltose, glucose and ...

Four Eremophilane Sesquiterpenes from the Mangrove Endophytic Fungus Xylaria sp. BL321

Three new eremophilane sesquiterpenes (1-3) were isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Xylaria sp. BL321 together with 07H239-A (4), a known analogue of the new compounds. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by analysis of their MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. Compound 4 showed activation activity on α-glucosidase at 0.15 μM (146%), and then, 4 gradually produced inhi...

Volatile antimicrobials from Muscodor crispans, a novel endophytic fungus.

Muscodor crispans is a recently described novel endophytic fungus of Ananas ananassoides (wild pineapple) growing in the Bolivian Amazon Basin. The fungus produces a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); some of the major components of this mixture, as determined by GC/MS, are propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, methyl ester; propanoic acid, 2-methyl-; 1-butanol, 3-methyl-;1-butanol, 3-methyl-, ...

Endophytic fungus, Radulidium subulatum from Phragmites australis in Iran

In order to isolate and identify endophytic fungi of Phragmites australis, numerous samplings were conducted from the plants grown in the southern areas of the Caspian Sea in Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces and saline soils around the Lake Urmia at province of East Azarbaijan. Twenty-one isolates of the genus Radulidium were obtained from healthy tissues of P. au...
