Journal ArticleDOI

Inmaculada Suay,F. Arenal,F.J. Asensio,Angela Basilio,M. Angeles Cabello,M. Teresa Díez,Juan B. García,Antonio González del Val,Julian Gorrochategui,Pilar Hernandez,Fernando Pelaez,M. Francisca Vicente +11 more
TL;DR: Isolates from some species showed large differences in their ability to produce metabolites with antimicrobial activity, possibly reflecting genetic differences at the infraspecific level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endophytic fungi from plants living on gypsum soils as a source of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity
Fernando Pelaez,Javier Collado,F. Arenal,Angela Basilio,Angeles Cabello,M.T. Díez Matas,Juan B. García,A. González Del Val,Vicente Gonzalez,Julian Gorrochategui,Pilar Hernández,Isabel Martin,Gonzalo Platas,Francisca Vicente +13 more
TL;DR: Endophytic fungi were isolated from nine plant species growing on gypsum and saline soils in central Spain, showing large differences among isolates from the same species, with respect to their ability to produce metabolites with antimicrobial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
ITS sequencing support for Epicoccum nigrum and Phoma epicoccina being the same biological species.
TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationship between Epicoccum nigrum and Phoma epicoccina has been assessed by means of sequencing of the ITS regions of rDNA and suggests that both entities represent the same biological species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of different PCR‐based DNA fingerprinting techniques for assessing the genetic variability of isolates of the fungus Epicoccum nigrum
TL;DR: Thirty‐six strains of the fungus Epicoccum nigrum, isolated from different substrata and ecosystems of Europe, America and Africa, were analysed using 14 molecular markers included in 5 different genetic fingerprinting techniques, showing a high genetic diversity within the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel illudins from Coprinopsis episcopalis (syn. Coprinus episcopalis), and the distribution of illudin-like compounds among filamentous fungi.
Antonio González del Val,Gonzalo Platas,F. Arenal,Juan Carlos Orihuela,Maria L. Garcia,Pilar Hernández,Inmaculada Royo,Nuria de Pedro,Lynn L. Silver,Katherine Young,María Francisca Vicente,Fernando Pelaez +11 more
TL;DR: The taxonomical relationships of the Coprinops is species identified in this study with other illudin producers previously reported in the literature are discussed and three novel illudins were found to be produced by the cultures identified as C. episcopalis and C. gonophyllus.
