Abstract
For the first time, phytopathogenic fungi of the genus Coleophoma were detected in the lichen genus Stereocaulon paschale (L.) Hoffm. On agarised nutrient medium, strain NM10F28209 formed compact, dense colonies with black ingrowing mycelium and ashy-grey aerial mycelium. Morphological characteristics and analysis of the ITS region of the gene cluster encoding ribosomal RNAs allowed us to assign the new strain to the genus Coleophoma; the closest relative was Coleophoma cylindrospora (Desm.) Höhn. (1919) with 98.28% of similarity. On prolonged incubation for 20 days, the culture formed a brown pigment that diffused into the agar. Extraction using a chloroform:acetone (1 : 1) mixture resulted in a multi-component preparation exhibiting fungicidal activity against yeasts from the Yarrowia and Candida genera. A compound belonging to the group of echinocandins, for which fungicidal activity has previously been demonstrated, was detected in the complex preparation by thin layer chromatography.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
