Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, extracts from 44 species of seaweed from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) were screened for the production of antibacterial and antifungal compounds against a panel of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, mycobacteria, yeasts and fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographical and seasonal influences on the distribution of fungal endophytes in Quercus ilex
TL;DR: Cluster analysis of the whole endophytic mycoflora of the sampled trees suggested that the geographical factor affects the endophytics distribution patterns more significantly than the seasonal factor.
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
High-throughput culturing of fungi from plant litter by a dilution-to-extinction technique.
TL;DR: The efficiency of extinction culturing was assessed by comparing it with particle filtration and automated plate-streaking, and effort to evaluate and recover colonies from fungal isolation plates was substantially reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of antibiotic and secondary metabolite detection from filamentous fungi by growth on nutritional arrays.
Gerald F. Bills,Gonzalo Platas,A. Fillola,María Rosa Jiménez,Javier Collado,Francisca Vicente,Jesús Martín,Antonio Gonzalez,J. Bur-Zimmermann,José R. Tormo,Fernando Pelaez +10 more
TL;DR: This work asked to what extent does the application of the OSMAC (one strain, many compounds) approach lead to enhanced detection of antibiotics and secondary metabolites in fungi?
