A phylogenetic analysis of the 5.8S rDNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS1 and ITS2) sequences from some entomogenous Paecilomyces species supports the polyphyly of the genus and showed the existence of cryptic species. In the Eurotiales, anamorphs Paecilomyces variotii and Paecilomyces leycettanus were related to the teleomorphs Talaromyces and Thermoascus. In the Hypocreales, three major ...

Background. The growing resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents is a pressing public health issue. Bioprospecting efforts have mainly focused on well-known environments such as soil and animal gut in search for with antibiotic production or activity, terrestrial ecosystems endemic plants bioactive compounds. However, microbial communities thriving stressed hot springs, are potentia...

Abstract Purpose Wheat sheath blight mainly infected by Rhizoctonia cerealis is one of the soil-borne fungal diseases wheat worldwide and prevalent in major growing areas China at present. This study aimed to evaluate antifungal activity 163 endophytic fungi on R. . Antifungal strains were identified their biosynthetic potential was analysed. Methods The evaluated via dual-culture antagonism as...

The strain T1BF was isolated from the old bast tissue of Taxus yunnanensis and determined to be a member of Talaromyces. The extracts from the solid fermentation of Talaromycessp. T1BF were purified and obtained three azaphilones, including a new one. They were identified on the basis of spectral data as 6alpha-hydroxy-7beta-methyl-8-oxo-3-((E)- prop-1-en-1-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-isochromen-...

In the present study, nine compounds (1-9) were isolated from Talaromyces wortmannii LGT-4 (anendophytic fungus from Tripterygium wilfordi) which was cultured in CYM Medium. Their structures were determined as 4-hydroxyphthalide (1), Fumitremorgin C (2), Ergosterol (3), 3-(2-hydroxypropyl)-8-h...

The Solani Aqueduct is 175 years old heritage structure in Roorkee, India. exterior surface of the deteriorated due to fungal infestation. Fungi can spoil valuable sites aesthetically, mechanically and chemically. Five fungi namely: Curvularia pallescens, Fusarium equiseti, Talaromyces purpureogenus, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata were isolated identified from Aqueduct. Essential oils ...
