Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from Endophytic Fungi

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2020
Background: Endophytes represent a complex community of microorganisms colonizing asymptomatically internal tissues of higher plants. Several reports have shown that endophytes enhance the fitness of their host plants by direct production of bioactive secondary metabolites, which are involved in protecting the host against herbivores and pathogenic ...

Fungi with multifunctional lifestyles: endophytic insect pathogenic fungi

Plant Molecular Biology, 2015
This review examines the symbiotic, evolutionary, proteomic and genetic basis for a group of fungi that occupy a specialized niche as insect pathogens as well as endophytes. We focus primarily on species in the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria, traditionally recognized as insect pathogenic fungi but are also found as plant symbionts.

Endophytic Fungi Bioremediation

2017
Fungal endophytes are isolated from almost every host plant studied so far. The relationship between endophytes and host plants involves both mutualism and antagonism. Plants have many mechanisms to limit the growth of endophytes which include producing a variety of toxic metabolites such as terpenoides.

Insect Pathogenic Fungi as Endophytes

2016
In this chapter, we explore some of the evolutionary, ecological, molecular genetics, and applied aspects of a subset of insect pathogenic fungi that also have a lifestyle as endophytes and we term endophytic insect pathogenic fungi (EIPF). We focus particularly on Metarhizium spp. and Beauveria bassiana as EIPF. The discussion of the evolution of EIPF

Ecology of Neotropical Endophytic Fungi

2021
Endophytic fungi are a diverse group of microorganisms that have different effects on the ecology of the host plant in its healthy state and on its evolution. Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain how endophytic fungi manage to infect and often even grow within their hosts without causing visible disease symptoms.

Endophytic Fungi, Occurrence, and Metabolites

2018
Great progress has been made in the recent years in the endophytic fungal research. The classification and definition of endophytes have been revisited, as the complex community structures and lifestyles have been elucidated using modern techniques, such as next-generation sequencing.

Anti-Candida metabolites from endophytic fungi

Phytochemistry, 2007
Submerged cultures of some 1500 Ascomycota and Basidiomycota isolated from their fruit-bodies or as soil-borne, coprophilous or endophytic fungi were screened for activity against Candida albicans and a range of other pathogenic and saprotrophic fungi.

Endophytic fungi from Melia azedarach

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2003
A collection of endophytic fungi was obtained from living apparently symptomless roots, stems, leaves and fruits of Melia azedarach. This is an exotic tree introduced into Brazil from Asia and is a producer of insecticidal compounds. It grows very well and is apparently resistant to many pathogens.

Endophytic Fungi for Biodiesel Production

2020
The popularization and increase in market share of biodiesel within the biofuels scenario have been linked to policies leading to the utilization of renewable vegetable oils as the primary feedstock. Recent pathways to overcome the use of food- and feed-grade oil to produce fuel are found by the production of single cell oils (SCOs).

Nematophagous Fungi as Root Endophytes

2007
Nematophagous fungi constitute a group of fungal antagonists to nematodes. The latter arc small roundworms living in soil and water. Most nematodes are saprotrophic, but many species are parasites of plants and animals (Poinar 1983). The nematophagous fungi have been suggested as promising candidatesfor bioiogical control of parasitic nematodes ...
