Bioassay-guided fractionation of an EtOAc extract of the broth of the endophytic fungus sp. UM10M (Xylariaceae) isolated from a diseased leaf afforded three known cytochalasins, 19,20-epoxycytochalasins C () and D (), and 18-deoxy-19,20-epoxy-cytochalasin C (). All three compounds showed potent in vitro antiplasmodial activity and phytotoxicity with no cytotoxicity to Vero cells. These compounds exhibited moderate to weak cytotoxicity to some of the cell lines of a panel of solid tumor (SK-MEL, KB, BT-549, and SK-OV-3) and kidney epithelial cells (LLC-PK). Evaluation of in vivo antimalarial activity of 19,20-epoxycytochalasin C () in a mouse model at 100 mg/kg dose showed that this compound had weak suppressive antiplasmodial activity and was toxic to animals.

Nidustrin A (1), the first cysteine-retained emestrin featuring a unique sulfur-containing 18-membered macrocyclic lactone, along with four biogenetically related compounds (2-5), and one known analogue secoemestrin C (6), were isolated from the large-scale culture of Aspergillus nidulans, an endophytic fungus derived from the Whitmania pigra. Compounds 2 and 3 represent the second examples of noremestrin besides the previously reported noremestrin A, and the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compound 2 provided solid evidence for the intriguing skeleton of noremestrin. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Seed endophytes are actively used by the mother plant as both reservoir and vector of beneficial microbes. During seed dormancy endophytes experience significant physiochemical changes and only competent endophytes could colonise successfully in seeds and some of them act as obligate endophyte that are transmitted vertically across generations. The adaptive nature of endophytes allows them to switch lifestyles depending on environment and host conditions.

Background: Nitrogen (N) deposition has become a major driving factor affecting the balance of terrestrial ecosystems, changing the soil environment, element balance and species coexistence relationships, driving changes in biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Human-induced nitrogen input leads to a high NH/ NO ratio in soil. However, relatively few studies have investigated the effects of different nitrogen sources on forest plant-microbial symbionts.

Aquilaria malaccensis Lam., an Agarwood-producing tree native to Southeast Asia, secretes oleoresin, a resin with diverse applications, in response to injuries. To explore the role of endosphere microbial communities during Agarwood development, we utilized a metagenomics approach across three stages: non-symptomatic (NC), symptomatic early (IN), and symptomatic mature (IN1).
