Biodiscovery of antibacterial constituents from the endolichenic fungi isolated from Parmotrema rampoddense. [PDF]

3 Biotech, 2020
A total of nine endolichenic fungi were isolated from the foliose lichen Parmotrema rampoddense (Nyl.) Hale. Of the nine endolichenic fungi, three taxa (Fusarium proliferatum, Nemania primolutea, Daldinia eschsholtzii) showed antibacterial activities as determined by the disk diffusion assay against ESKAPE bacterial pathogens.

Endolichenic fungi: A hidden source of bioactive metabolites

South African Journal of Botany, 2020
Abstract Lichens are synergetic organisms composed of a mycobiont in relationship with one or more photosynthetic partners (photobiont). These organisms grow on various substrates and sometimes under extreme ecological environments. A different group of non-obligate micro-fungi also resides inside the internal tissues of the lichen thalli without ...

Biodeterioration of low-density polyethylene by mangrove-associated endolichenic fungi and their enzymatic regimes

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2022
AbstractFungal involvement in the biodeterioration of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has received great attention in recent years. Among diverse groups of fungi, endolichenic fungi (ELF) are adapted to thrive in resource-limited conditions. The present study was designed to investigate the potential of mangrove-associated ELF, in the biodeterioration ...

Lichen and Its Microbiome as an Untapped Source of Anti-Biofilm Compounds. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
Lichens and their associated fungi give rise to the evaluation of several extracts and compounds against biofilms. ABSTRACT Lichen substances have been first described in the 1870s, and around 10 000 compounds have been isolated and characterized. Most of them have been evaluated for their activity on planktonic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi ...

In vitro antimicrobial potentials of endolichenic fungi isolated from thalli of Parmelia lichen against some human pathogens

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2015
This study was undertaken to isolate and evaluate antimicrobial potentials of endolichenic fungi colonizing lichen thalli of Parmelia sp. A total of 19 distinct endolichenic fungi were obtained from surface sterilized fragments of Parmelia thalli.
