Fusarium : a treasure trove of bioactive secondary metabolites

Abstract

Fusarium, one of the most common fungal genera, has received considerable attention because of its biosynthetic exuberance, the result of many unique gene clusters involved in the production of secondary metabolites.

Marine fungi showing multifunctional activity against human pathogenic microbes and cancer

“…The results of some genera, such as Ceratocystis and Fusarium, previously reported as potential antimicrobials [62,63], were not supported by our survey. Some Cladosporium isolates collected from all our sampling locations had strong bioactivities.…”

Antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic properties of endophytic fungi isolated from Thysanolaena maxima Roxb., Dracaena spicata Roxb. and Aglaonema hookerianum Schott.

“…Chemical screening of the extracts of Fusarium sp. also confirms the presence of coumarins, terpenoids, and quinones, which are reported to have antimicrobial activities [ 33 ]. Some previous studies [ 34 , 35 ] reported that promising antimicrobial compounds such as fusaric acid, bikaverin, dehydrofusaric acid and beauvericin were isolated from different endophytic genera of Fusarium sp.…”

Genome analyses reveal the secondary metabolites potentially influence the geographical distribution of Fusarium pseudograminearum populations

“…4). Secondary metabolites generally play important roles in aspects of the survival and competitiveness of fungi, such as toxin production, plant pathogenicity, and interactions with other organisms (Li et al 2020;Kuhnert and Collemare 2022). The findings of this study indicated that genes related to secondary metabolism may be important for understanding F. pseudograminearum's evolutionary adaptation to its environment.…”
