Compounds ofAnthostomella brabeji, an Endophytic Fungus Isolated fromPaepalanthus planifolius(Eriocaulaceae)

New Benzaldehyde and Benzopyran Compounds from the Endophytic Fungus Paraphaeosphaeria sp. F03 and Their Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities

“…To date, only 2 studies have been reported in the literature involving the evaluation of secondary metabolites from strains of endophytic fungi isolated from Paepalanthus sp. (Eriocaulaceae) and which have exhibited antimicrobial activity potential [5,6].Paraphaeosphaeria sp. (Ascomycota: Montagnulaceae) are ubiquitous fungi that are present in soil as well as in various plants in different habitats [7].…”

“…(Ascomycota: Montagnulaceae) are ubiquitous fungi that are present in soil as well as in various plants in different habitats [7]. These fungi can be found in the rizhosphere of Opuntia leptocaulis (Cactaceae) [8], in the stem of Arte-misia annua (Asteraceae) [9], in the leaves of Yucca recurvifolia (Asparagaceae) [10], in the Hawaiian plant Lycopodiella cernua (Lycopodiaceae) [11], in the horse mussel Modiolus auriculatus (Mytilidae) [12], in the gut of Pantala flavescens (Libellulidae) larvae [13], in sea mud, and in sediment of an artificial pond [14,15].In previous studies, we collected the plant material of Paepalanthus planifolius (Bong) Körn in Serra do Cipó-MG, Brazil, and isolated 15 strains from its aerial parts [5]. Biological screening assays of the extracts revealed that the F03 strain isolated from P. planifolius leaves, which was most closely related to Paraphaeos-…”

Antimicrobial Screening of Endophytic Fungi Isolated from the Aerial Parts of Paepalanthus chiquitensis (Eriocaulaceae) Led to the Isolation of Secondary Metabolites Produced by Fusarium fujikuroi

“…5 There is only one study of endophytes isolated in the Eriocaulaceae. 6 Among the endophytes that have been described so far, there are many Fusarium species 7 which are interesting in the production of bioactive secondary metabolites as well as a source of a variety of chemical structures.…”
