Chemical Constituents of the Fruiting Body of Xylaria polymorpha
نویسندگان
چکیده
Xylaria, belonging to the Ascomycotina, is known to produce diverse classes of bioactive substances. In an effort to identify the chemical constituents of the fruiting bodies of Xylaria polymorpha, linoleic acid (1), linoleic acid methyl ester (2), ergosterol (3), 4-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-6,8-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methyl-1H-2-benzopyran-1-one (4), and 4-hydroxyscytalone (5) were isolated from its methanolic extract. Their structures were assigned on the basis of various spectroscopic studies.

Wood Species and Culture Age Affect Zone Line Production of Xylaria polymorpha
Three pure cultures of Xylaria polymorpha were isolated from fruiting bodies at yearly intervals over two years and maintained on 2% malt agar plates at room temperature. Immediately after isolation of the third culture, the cultures were inoculated onto sugar maple (Acer saccharum), aspen (Populus tremuloides), birch (Betula alleghaniensis), and basswood (Tilia americana) 14 mm cubes and incub...

The preliminary result of a survey conducted on Xylaria species in the North of Iran is presented. Based on morphological examination of fungal specimens collected from Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces, eight species including Xylaria arbuscula, X. cubensis, X. filiformis, X. hypoxylon, X. longipes, X. multiplex, X. pannosa, and X. polymorpha were identified. Among the identified speci...

متن کاملLevels of specificity of Xylaria species associated with fungus-growing termites: a phylogenetic approach.
Fungus-growing termites live in obligate mutualistic symbiosis with species of the basidiomycete genus Termitomyces, which are cultivated on a substrate of dead plant material. When the termite colony dies, or when nest material is incubated without termites in the laboratory, fruiting bodies of the ascomycete genus Xylaria appear and rapidly cover the fungus garden. This raises the question wh...

In the present study the fruiting bodies of macro fungus was isolated from courtallum hills and identified as Xylaria sp. R006 based on morphological characteristics and it was reinforced by 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Due to the insufficient wild fruiting bodies of Xylaria sp., submerged culture conditions and nutritional requirements for the production of mycelial biomass with improved a...
