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 ...

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.

Fungal evolution: cellular, genomic and metabolic complexity

Biological Reviews, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 1198-1232, October 2020., 2020
ABSTRACT The question of how phenotypic and genomic complexity are inter‐related and how they are shaped through evolution is a central question in biology that historically has been approached from the perspective of animals and plants. In recent years, however, fungi have emerged as a promising alternative system to address such questions.

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Endolichenic Fungi in Jeju Island, South Korea [PDF]

Sustainability, 2020
Lichens are symbiotic organisms containing diverse microorganisms. Endolichenic fungi (ELF) are one of the inhabitants living in lichen thalli, and have potential ecological and industrial applications due to their various secondary metabolites. As the function of endophytic fungi on the plant ecology and ecosystem sustainability, ELF may have an ...

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 ...
