Assessing the effectiveness of Byssochlamys nivea and Scopulariopsis brumptii in pentachlorophenol removal and biological control of two Phytophthora…
2016
Bioremediation and biological-control by fungi have made tremendous strides in numerous biotechnology applications. The aim of this study was to test Byssochlamys nivea and Scopulariopsis brumptii in sensitivity and degradation to pentachlorophenol (PCP) and in biological-control of Phytophthora cinnamomi and Phytophthora cambivora. B. nivea and S. brumptii were tested in PCP sensitivity and degradation in microbiological media while the experiments of biological-control were carried out in microbiological media and soil. The fungal strains showed low PCP sensitivity at 12.5 and 25 mg PCP L(-1) although the hyphal size, fungal mat, patulin, and spore production decreased with increasing PCP…
The ability of soil-borne fungi to degrade organophosphonate carbon-to-phosphorus bonds
1997
The ability of a wide variety of soil-borne fungal strains to degrade four structurally different compounds containing P-C bonds, namely the naturally occurring amino acid ciliatine, the popular herbicide glyphosate, phosphonoacetic acid and 2-amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid, was studied in order to show that soil fungi may play an important role in the biodegradation of organophosphonates. Most of the strains appeared to utilize ciliatine as the sole source of phosphorus for growth. Only a limited number of strains were able to grow on the other phosphonates used in this work. The strains of Trichoderma harzianum, Scopulariopsis sp. and Aspergillus niger chosen for more detailed study show…
Xanthones and sesquiterpene derivatives from a marine-derived fungus Scopulariopsis sp.
2016
Abstract Two new xanthone derivatives, 12-dimethoxypinselin ( 1 ) and 12- O -acetyl-AGI-B4 ( 2 ), as well as two new phenolic bisabolane-type sesquiterpenes, 11,12-dihydroxysydonic acid ( 15 ) and 1-hydroxyboivinianic acid ( 16 ), together with one new alkaloid, scopulamide ( 21 ) and one new α-pyrone derivative, scopupyrone ( 26 ), in addition to twenty-three known compounds ( 3 – 14 , 17 – 20 , 22 – 25 , 27 – 29 ) were isolated from solid rice cultures of the marine-derived fungus Scopulariopsis sp. obtained from the Red Sea hard coral Stylophora sp. All compounds were unambiguously identified through extensive NMR spectroscopic analyses, and by comparison with the literature. Marfey's re…
