“…The authors have been investigating saprobic and endophytic fungi associated with Pandanaceae (Tibpromma et al 2016a, b, c, 2017a, b) and, in this study, taxonomic details are presented regarding the endophytic fungi that were isolated. Pandanaceae are monocotyledonous plants.…”

The authors established the taxonomic status of endophytic fungi associated with leaves of Pandanaceae collected from southern Thailand. Morphotypes were initially identified based on their characteristics in culture and species level identification was done based on both morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data. Twenty-two isolates from healthy leaves were categorised into eight morphotypes. Appropriate universal primers were used to amplify specific gene regions and phylogenetic analyses were performed to identify these endophytes and established relationships with extant fungi. The authors identified both ascomycete and basidiomycete species, including one new genus, seven new species and nine known species. Morphological descriptions, colour plates and phylogenies are given for each taxon.

“…The placement of F53 in the genus Muyocopron is supported by the fact that most endophytes belong to the classes Sordariomycetes or Dothideomycetes , with this genus belonging to the later class (Rodriguez et al , 2009; Schoch et al , 2009). Although some species within the Muyocopronales order are plant parasites (Hernández‐Restrepo et al , 2019), endophytic species have been isolated, including Mycoleptodiscus endophytica (Tibpromma et al , 2018) and Muyocopron garethjonesii (Tibpromma et al , 2016) from Pandanaceae spp.…”

Genome mining of Ascomycete sp. F53 (F53), a fungal endophyte of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Taxus yunnanensis (Chinese yew), revealed 35 putative specialized metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters, one of which encodes a rarely seen tandem polyketide synthase pathway with close homology to azaphilone biosynthesis pathways. A novel compound, lijiquinone 1, was subsequently isolated from F53 and structurally and functionally characterized. The m/z 385 [M + H + ] + compound, comprised of a cyclohexenone side group attached to a core bicyclic ring, displayed cytotoxicity against human myeloma cells (IC 50 = 129 lM), as well as antifungal activity against Candida albicans (IC 50 = 79 lM) and Cryptococcus albidus (IC 50 = 141 lM). Our results suggest that enzymes encoded on the lij gene cluster are responsible for the synthesis of 1 and that the medicinal properties of T. yunnanensis could be partially mediated by this novel azaphilone. This study highlights the utility of combining traditional knowledge with contemporary genomic approaches for the discovery of new bioactive compounds.

“…The earliest Stomiopeltites ‐like rounded ostiolate thyriothecia with plectenchymous tissue consisting of irregularly arranged cells were recorded from the Jurassic San Agustín hot spring deposits, Patagonia, Argentina (Garsía‐Massini et al, 2012). Taylor et al (2015) believe that another extant ascomycete, Muyocopron Speg., which based on genetic analysis belongs to the Muyocopronales (Tibpromma et al, 2016), has some similarities to Stomiopeltites in terms of the fruiting body but free hyphae are absent. Thyriothecia of Stomiopeltites were identified also in the palynomorph assemblages from the uppermost Oligocene–lower Miocene Nukhul Formation, Egypt (El Atfy et al, 2013) and now here the genus Stomiopeltites is recorded for the first time from China.…”

The unique co‐occurrence of thyriothecia belonging to three fossil genera of epiphyllous fungi, Stomiopeltites Alvin & Muir (Micropeltidaceae), Callimothallus Dilcher, and Trichothyrites Rosendahl (Microthyriaceae), are reported on the leaves of the same host plant, Cunninghamia shangcunica Kodrul, Gordenko & Sokolova from the Oligocene Shangcun Formation of the Maoming Basin, South China. In China, Stomiopeltites is identified for the first time, Callimothallus is known from the Oligocene and Miocene of Guangxi and Zhejiang provinces, and Trichothyrites previously has been found only in the Eocene palynological assemblages of the Maoming Basin. The presence of abundant and diverse epiphyllous micromycetes, together with the taxonomic composition of the Shangcun megaflora and pollen assemblage, as well as quantitative climatic estimates obtained using Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate Program, confirm the existence of a warm and humid climate in this region during the late early Oligocene. The geographic and stratigraphic distributions, comparisons with extant analogues, as well as ecological and paleoclimatic implications of the fossil fungi are discussed.
