Ergostanes and Cytochalasin From the Fruiting Bodies of Xylaria longipes Nitschke and Their Cytotoxicity Evaluation

open access: yesJournal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Four ergostanes—ergosta‐7,22,24(28)‐trien‐3β‐ol (1), ergosta‐7,24(28)‐dien‐3‐one (2), ergosta‐7,22,24(28)‐trien‐3‐one (3), and ergosta‐4,6,8(14),22‐tetraen‐3‐one (4)—and one cytochalasin, zygosporin D (5), were isolated from Xylaria longipes. Two compounds, 2 and 3, are novel but have a similar structure to Compound (1), except for the keto group at ...

A Multifunctional and Possible Skin UV Protectant, (3R)-5-Hydroxymellein, Produced by an Endolichenic Fungus Isolated from Parmotrema austrosinense

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
Lichens are considered a great bio-resource because they produce large numbers of secondary metabolites with many biological activities; however, they have not been cultivated under artificial conditions to date.

Biotechnological Potential of a Novel Strain of Fusarium proliferatum, a Terrestrial Fungus Adapted to Marine Environment

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
A novel strain of Fusarium proliferatum was isolated from South Calabrian coasts (Italy) and molecularly characterised. Its rice cultures led to the identification of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes, and with antioxidant properties.

The Importance of Within‐Log Sampling Replication in Bark‐ and Wood‐Inhabiting Fungal Metabarcoding Studies

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
Despite the widespread use of metabarcoding approaches in wood‐inhabiting fungal studies, there is currently no standardized procedure for sampling deadwood. Our methodological study supports that to gain a representative view of the fungal community composition in early decay‐stage deadwood, bark should be included in fungal surveys and that ...

Lichen-associated Fungal Community in Hypogymnia hypotrypa (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) Affected by Geographic Distribution and Altitude

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Lichen-associated fungal species have already been investigated in almost all the main growth forms of lichens, however whether or not they are homogeneous and constant within each lichen species are still inconclusive.

Simulated climate change impacts health, growth, photosynthesis, and reproduction of high‐elevation epiphytic lichens

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Epiphytic lichens are especially threatened by accelerated climatic change at high elevations. All lichens are sensitive to atmospheric conditions. Treelines constrain epiphyte ability to migrate upward to follow suitable conditions. Thus, acclimation to changing conditions will likely determine their survival.

Genomic features of lichen‐associated black fungi

open access: yesIUBMB Life, Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Lichens are mutualistic associations consisting of a primary fungal host, and one to few primary phototrophic symbiont(s), usually a green alga and/or a cyanobacterium. They form complex thallus structures, which provide unique and stable habitats for many other microorganisms. Frequently isolated from lichens are the so‐called black fungi, or

Aqueous Phase Textile Dye Degradation by Microbes and Nanoparticles: A Review

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Textile industries utilize a variety of dyes and chemicals, resulting in wastewater that contains numerous hazardous components. The release of these dyes into aquatic systems poses a serious environmental and harms human health due to their persistence, recalcitrance, and nonbiodegradability.
