Recent publications have argued that there are potentially serious consequences for researchers in recognising distinct genera the terminal fusarioid clade of family Nectriaceae. Thus, an alternate hypothesis, namely a very broad concept genus Fusarium was proposed. In doing so, however, significant body data supports Nectriaceae based on morphology, biology, and phylogeny is disregarded. A DNA 19 orthologous protein-coding genes presented to support at F1 node Here, we demonstrate...

Abstract Endophytic fungi have been demonstrated to produce bioactive secondary metabolites, some of which promote plant growth. Three endophytic isolated from healthy plants living in dehesas Extremadura (Spain) were identified and evaluated for their ability phytohormone-like substances, antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content, phosphate solubilization siderophore ammonia production. The filtrates extracts produced by the three endophytes applied Lolium multiflorum seeds seedlings...
Several Bipolaris and Curvularia spp.were collected from different disease symptoms of Poaceae in Thailand.Phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequence data the internal transcribed spacer region intervening 5.8S nrRNA gene, partial fragments glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase translation elongation factor 1-α genes, demonstrated that these isolates represent one new species Bipolaris, B. brachiariae, five Curvularia, i.e. C. chiangmaiensis, dactyloctenicola, nodosa, pseudobrachyspora,...
Abstract Curvularia is a cosmopolitan genus that includes species associated with plants, animals and humans, several of which are clinical significance. Some these important pathogens grasses, causing devastating diseases on cereal crops in the family Poaceae. In present multi-locus study, ex-type reference strains , as well deposited CBS culture collection Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, were included. Based ITS, GAPDH TEF1 sequences, phenotypic data, ten new described...
Abstract Ascomycetes belonging to the order Sordariales are a well-known reservoir of secondary metabolites with potential beneficial applications. Species ubiquitous, and they commonly found in soils lignicolous, herbicolous, coprophilous habitats. Some their species have been used as model organisms modern fungal biology or were be prolific producers potentially useful metabolites. However, majority sordarialean poorly studied. Traditionally, classification has mainly based on morphology...
During a study of the diversity soilborne fungi from Spain, strain belonging to family Chaetomiaceae (Sordariales) was isolated. The multigene phylogenetic inference using five DNA loci showed that this represents an undescribed species genus
Astertataricus is a plant used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. From its roots, we isolated four endophytic fungi strains. After mass spectrometry analysis and subsequent molecular networking dereplication, one of the strain's extracts showed cluster yet undescribed natural products. Additionally, extract was found to be lethal for nematode Caenorhabditiselegans cytotoxic against eukaryotic cell lines. The fungal strain characterized by morphological studies, allowing description as new...
Based on a number of isolates Myceliophthora (Chaetomiaceae, Sordariales, Ascomycota) recently isolated from soil samples collected in USA, the taxonomy genus was re-evaluated through phylogenetic analyses sequences nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer region and genes for second largest subunit RNA polymerase II translation elongation factor 1α. Members were split into four monophyletic clades strongly supported by molecular phenotypic data. Such correspond with Myceliophthora, now...
The present study introduces two new genera, 14 species, five combinations and 12 interesting host and/or geographical records. A majority of the fungi are Ascomycetes, but also includes a Basidiomycete, Xerocomellus fulvus described from Pakistan. Under single name nomenclature Zeuctomorpha arecae is reduced to synonymy under Acroconidiellina (Sympoventuriaceae, Venturiales, Dothideomycetes). Based on morphology phylogenetic affinities, Wojnowicia dactylidis, W. lonicerae spartii moved...
During the course of a study on biodiversity endophytes from Cameroon, fungal strain was isolated. A multigene phylogenetic inference using five DNA loci revealed that this represents an undescribed species Diaporthe, which is introduced here as D.breyniae. Investigation into chemistry fungus led to isolation two previously secondary metabolites for trivial names fusaristatins G (7) and H (8) are proposed, together with eleven known compounds. The structures all were established by...
The integration of metabolomics-based approaches into the discovery pipeline has enabled improved mining and prioritization prolific secondary metabolite producers such as endophytic fungi. However, relying on automated untargeted analysis tools might lead to misestimation chemical complexity harbored in these organisms. Our study emphasizes importance isolation structure elucidation respective metabolites addition deep metabolome for correct interpretation metabolomics molecular networking....
Epithiodiketopiperazines are a widely distributed class of secondary metabolites originating from an NRPS biosynthetic pathway and featuring diverse biological activities. In this study, the soil-borne fungus Amesia atrobrunnea FMR 19325 was found to produce novel chetracin-like epithiodiketopiperazine, neochetracin (1), unique C-11a′-S-N cross-linkage, along with known congener, chetracin B (2). Chemical structures were elucidated based on HR-ESI-MS comprehensive 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic...
