Cyclohexadepsipetides enniatin B, B1 and G were isolated from the cultivation broth of Fusarium dimerum Penzig, an endophyte of Magnolia x soulangeana. Their production was about 350 mg l(-1) after 96 h of submerged cultivation in Sabouraud maltose medium. Isolated enniatins inhibited growth of selected microorganisms and activity of 12-lipoxygenase with IC50 = 0.73 mg l(-1).

Fungi, including filamentous fungi and yeasts, are major contributors to global food losses and waste due to their ability to colonize a very large diversity of food raw materials and processed foods throughout the food chain. In addition, numerous fungal species are mycotoxin producers and can also be responsible for opportunistic infections. In recent years, MALDI-TOF MS has emerged as a valuable, rapid and reliable asset for fungal identification in order to ensure food safety and quality.

Purpose: Fusarium keratitis possesses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Medically relevant Fusaria belong to various species complexes and show prominent differences in their antifungal susceptibility profile which may influence the clinical outcome. Rapid diagnostic methods are warranted for precise identification of species complexes for prompt initiation of correct antifungals.
