1′-O-methyl-averantin isolated from the endolichenic fungus Jackrogersella sp. EL001672 suppresses colorectal cancer stemness via sonic Hedgehog and Notch signaling [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Endolichenic fungi are host organisms that live on lichens and produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites. Colorectal cancer stem cells are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into cancer cells, which makes cancers difficult to eradicate ...

Endolichenic fungi: a new source of rich bioactive secondary metabolites on the horizon [PDF]
Phytochemistry Reviews, 2016 Endolichenic fungi are diverse groups of predominantly filamentous fungi that reside asymptomatically in the interior of lichen thalli. Natural products from endolichenic fungi, isolated from a variety of different lichen species, have been attracting increased attention for their potential to produce bioactive metabolites possessing new structures and

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 ...

Biopesticide Compounds from an Endolichenic Fungus Xylaria sp. Isolated from the Lichen Hypogymnia tubulosa [PDF]
MoleculesEndolichenic fungi represent an important ecological group of microorganisms that form associations with photobionts in the lichen thallus. These endofungi that live in and coevolve with lichens are known for synthesizing secondary metabolites with novel

Phylogenetic and morphological analyses of Coniochaeta isolates recovered from Inner Mongolia and Yunnan revealed three new endolichenic fungal species [PDF]
MycoKeys, 2021 Lichens are the result of a symbiotic interaction between fungi (mycobionts) and algae (phycobionts). Aside from mycobionts, lichen thalli can also contain non-lichenised fungal species, such as lichenicolous and endolichenic fungi. For this study, three
