“…It has been shown that the diversity of endophytic fungi is influenced by the plant genotype [33,34] or both the host genotype and geography combined [35]. A recent study by Miao et al on speciation and genetic diversity of endophytic fungi from their host plants, C. songaricum, parasitized N. tangutorum, and non-parasitized N. tangutorum at three geographic locations, found that only 0.41% to 4.48% of endophytic fungal species were shared between their host plants, consistent with previous studies indicating that the plant genotype strongly affects the endophytic fungal composition [20].…”

“…Also, some of the isolates, such as Fusarium spp., exhibited the ability to promote seed germination of C. songaricum [18]. Further investigations revealed significant correlations between differential secondary metabolites and endophytic fungi in C. songaricum distributed across different locations [19], and moreover, plant species and lifestyle, as well as the local environment, strongly influenced the abundance and diversity of the endophytic fungal species in C. songaricum and its host N. tangutorum [20].…”

Endophytic fungi colonize the inner tissues and provide direct and indirect benefits to plants. Although Mongolia is rich in medicinal plants, due to climatic and anthropogenic reasons, the resources are being depleted, and many species are under threat of gradual extinction, while the endophytic fungi of Mongolian plants are largely unknown. In this study, Sa total of 24 culturable endophytic fungal strains were isolated from Cynomorium songaricum (Rupr.), a medicinal and vulnerable plant species of Mongolia. Based on the morphological characteristics and the sequences of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, the isolates were identified into six genera: Fusarium (8), Clonostachys (7), Penicillium (6), Alternaria (1), Aspergillus (1), and Madurella (1). The antimicrobial activity was assessed by the agar-diffusion method, revealing that 15 strains were able to inhibit the growth of at least one of the test organisms. Among them, 1 strain showed inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, 12 against Bacillus subtilis, 13 against Staphylococcus aureus, and 8 against Aspergillus niger, respectively. The ability to solubilize complex phosphorus and zinc minerals was observed in 3 and 21 strains, respectively, and the production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was detected in nine strains in the presence of tryptophan. Our study provides the first insight into the cultivable endophytic fungal composition of C. songaricum, parasitizing the roots of Nitraria sibirica growing in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. The resulting fungi, which have antimicrobial and plant growth-promoting properties, were preserved in the national culture collection and can be used to further exploit their biotechnological potential, as well as for the propagation of endangered and vulnerable medicinal plants.

Some factors such as the age of the host plant, geographical location, rainfall, vegetation surrounding the host plant, and canopy cover in each environment may play major roles in influencing these composition differences (Arnold and Herre, 2003;Gomes et al, 2018;Jia et al, 2016;Miao et al, 2021).…”

Endophytic fungi living in medicinal plant tissues are potential bioactive metabolite sources for drug discovery and development. However, the research regarding endophytic fungi associated with Indonesian medicinal plants is still limited. This study aimed to explore the biodiversity of endophytic fungi associated with the medicinal plant Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb. var. udang and their antibacterial activities. Twenty-seven endophytic filamentous fungi were isolated from the surface-sterilized leaves, stems, and roots of Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb. var. udang collected in Jasinga, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. The observation based on the morphological characters both macroscopically and microscopically, as well as chemical profiling using thin layer chromatography (TLC), revealed that some of the isolated endophytic fungi were identical. Overall, the isolated endophytic fungi consist of six Coelomycetes, three Dematiaceae, four Pestalotiopsis sp., two Penicillium sp., one Aspergillus terreus, and two fungi were unidentified. Antibacterial activities of the ethyl acetate extract from the isolated endophytic fungi associated with Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb. var. udang were observed against E. coli, B. subtilis, S. aureus, and M. luteus. Twelve types of isolated endophytic fungi from Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb. var. udang exhibited antibacterial activities.
