The aim of present study was to isolate the endophytic fungi from agriculture field of Nagpur region and evaluate the isolated fungi for the inhibition of quorum sensing activity. Initially, samples were collected for isolation of fungal endophytes. Fungal endophytes was isolated from the healthy, symptomless leaves, stem and root of various plants such as mustard, Linseed, Bengal gram, safflower, Pigeon pea and Orange. The identification of isolated endophytic fungi was done on the basis of their morphological and microscopic structures. The Slide culture technique was performed using isolated fungi and temporary slides were prepared in Lactophenol cotton blue stain for identification purpose. For quorum sensing inhibitors production, first Liquid-state fermentation and then extraction of inhibitors were carried out. The extract from each endophytic fungal isolate was assayed for the presence of inhibitors using biosensor strains such as Chromobacterium violaceum wild type MTCC 2656.

Endophytic fungi were isolated from Musa acuminata ‘Dwarf Cavendish’ harvested from 100-year-old crops. The antagonistic bioactivity and the inhibitory activity of the endophytic fungi were evaluated against various phytopathogenic fungi: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) Snyder y Hansen, F. oxysporum Schlect. f.sp. cubense (E.F. Smith) Snyd. & Hans, F. moniliforme (Sheldon), Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl, Geotrichum sp, Phoma sp. and Cladosporium sp. In dual culture assays, endophytic strains of Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Chaetomium were found to be active against some of the targeted microorganisms. Four active extracts were fractionised using VLC (vacuum liquid chromatography) and two ethyl acetate and ethanolic extracts obtained from Aspergillus oryzae isolate led to two active hexanic and ethyl acetate fractions which inhibited growth of F. moniliforme (%I = 48.02 and 55.1, respectively; at 1 mg ml?1). The smallest EC50 (0.74 mg ml?1) was observed in...

In the current study we have explored bioprospecting potentials (antimicrobial activity, antibiotic susceptibility pattern, enzyme activity and dye degradation ability) of endophytic fungi isolated from different medicinal plants. Total twenty fungal endophytes were isolated from the leaves of selected plants by using sterilization treatment followed by serial dilution agar plate technique. All isolates were tested for the antimicrobial activity against seven pathogenic strains including two Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus amyloliquifaciens) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica ser. typhi) and three fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus sp. and Candida albicans) using agar well diffusion method. Out of twenty fungal isolates, fourteen endophytic fungal isolates exhibited both antifungal and antibacterial activity. It was observed that 55% of isolates exhibited urease activity, 40% amylase activity, while 45% est...

Inhibition of bacterial quorum sensing by extracts from aquatic fungi: first report from marine endophytesIn our search for quorum-sensing (QS) disrupting molecules, 75 fungal isolates were recovered from reef organisms (endophytes), saline lakes and mangrove rhizosphere. Their QS inhibitory activity was evaluated in Chromobacterium violaceum CVO26. Four strains of endophytic fungi stood out for their potent activity at concentrations from 500 to 50 μg mL-1. The molecular characterization, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequences (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) between the rRNA of 18S and 28S, identified these strains as belonging to four genera: Sarocladium (LAEE06), Fusarium (LAEE13), Epicoccum (LAEE14), and Khuskia (LAEE21). Interestingly, three came from coral species and two of them came from the same organism, the coral Diploria strigosa. Metabolic profiles obtained by Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS) suggest that a combination of fungal secondary metabolites and fatty acids could be the responsible for the observed activities. The LC-...

Pulverização foliar e fertirrigação com silício nos atributos físico-químicos de qualidade e índices de coloração do morango2010 •
Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da aplicação de silício via foliar e em fertirrigação, nos atributos físico-químicos de qualidade e índices de coloração do morango cultivado em casa de vegetação. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado em um fatorial 5x2, com cinco concentrações de silicato de potássio pulverizado via foliar (0; 0,25; 0,5; 0,75 e 1% de Sili-K®), semanalmente, na presença e ausência de Si na solução de fertirrigação (0 e 94 mg dm-3), com cinco repetições por tratamento. Os "frutos" analisados foram colhidos 110 dias após o plantio para determinação de ácido cítrico, pH de polpa, pectina total, pectina solúvel, solubilização da pectina, açúcares totais, glicose, sacarose e os índices de L e A de coloração externa e interna dos "frutos". A aplicação foliar de silicato de potássio associado ou não com Si em fertirrigação altera os teores de ácido cítrico e pH de polpa e eleva os teores totais de açúcares e gli...
