This presentation based on my and my students Kati Küngas, Tiina Poolak, Keru Kais, Triin Varvas, Kristina Ivandi-Kasekamp ja Kai Kattai works of endophytes in the Department of Mycology, Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Estonian University of Life Sciences.

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...

Antimicrobial activity in cultures of endophytic fungi isolated in some medicinal plant species2015 •
Fungal endophytes have been studied from five medicinal plants of Caesalpinia sappan, Alternanthera sessil, Sapindus laurifolius, Basala alba and Acalypha indica All the plants were found with endophytic fungi. The endophytes were isolated using three different mycological media namely potato dextrose agar (PDA), malt extract agar (MEA) and water agar (WA). Maximum endophytes were isolated in PDA and minimum on WA medium. Altogether 12 fungal endophytes belonging to differentn genera were isolated from the three medicinal plants. Out of which, all endophytes were obtained as filamentous forms and some of them colonies. Species Colletotrichum spp, Aspergillus spp, Bispora spp., Geotrichum spp., Trichoderma spp. Cladosporium spp. Aspergillus spp. Gliocladium spp., Trichoderma spp. Fusarium spp. Trichosporoniodes spp Trichoderma spp of antimicrobial activity inhibiting at least one of the test pathogens. Among the potent strains, 19.3% displayed antibacterial showed antimicrobial activ...

Endophytes are microorganisms that inhabit the interior of a healthy plants. They offer great-untapped potentials, which can be exploited to maintain healthy crops. Many cultivated and wild type plants have been investigated for endophytic fungal metabolites which include guanidine and pyrrolizidine alkaloids, indole derivatives, sesquiterpenes, isocoumarin derivatives. These metabolites show beneficial effects to crop plants and many of them also

Endophytic Fungi and their Metabolites Isolated from Bauhinia Racemosa Lamk PlantBauhinia racemosa family, Caesalpiniaceae is one of the precious resources of the earth. It is traditionally used in the indigenous system of medicine Ayurveda, Unani, and Sidha for the treatment of several ailments like headache, fever, skin and blood diseases, jaundice, chronic dysentery, diarrhea, and leucorrhoea, infection of malaria, boil, glandular swelling, tumors, and cancer. It is also used to cure scorpion bite, to relieve food poisoning in cattle and as a contraceptive by women. Endophytic fungi live in leafage of medicinally important plants are diverse and abundant; also little is known of their terrestrial and habitat variation. Age differences in endophyte infections on young, mature, and senescent leaves of a medicinal plant Bauhinia racemosa were studied. Enzyme evaluation, it was observed that the endophytic fungi species Phyllosticta sp., Colletotrichum sp., Aspergillus species were presented four enzymes amylase, pectinase, lipolytic, and cellulose activity. Particularly have indicated only cellulose was produced in Aspergillus niger. The endophytic fungus was tested against standard bacterial and fungal cultures. In vitro antimicrobial test was carried out by the agar well diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration test was performed by the modified agar well diffusion method. Endophytic fungi showed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity as it inhibited Gram-positive bacteria in Bacillus, and fungi in Colletotrichum.
The term “endophytes” includes a family of microorganisms that grow intra-and/or intercelullarly in the tissues of higher plants without causing over symptoms on the plants in which they live. These microorganisms represent a potential source of novel natural products for medicinal, agricultural and industrial uses, such as antibiotics, anticancer agents, biological control agents, and other bioactive compounds. The aim of the present work was to investigate the biotechnological potential of fungal endophytes isolated from Baru (Dipteryx alata Vog.). Accordingly, the antimicrobial activity, the enzymatic profile and the biotransformation of terpenes in aroma compounds were evaluated. A total of 5 fungal strains were isolated from Baru and identified in the present work. Screening of the antimicrobial activity of endophytic extracts revealed a considerable activity against the pathogenic cultures tested. Most of the extracts inhibited the growth of Candida albicans, Escherichia coli ...
