Two new [asperxins A () and B ()] and four known (-) aflatoxins were isolated and identified from the endophytic fungus Y-2, which was derived from the needles of the critically endangered conifer . Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods. Among the isolates, compounds and showed considerable cytotoxicities against the A549 and Hela human cancer cell lines, with IC values in the range of 7.5-16.8 μM.

Endophytic fungi live in healthy plant tissues and organs and are a major source of natural bioactive compounds. In this study, we found that an endophytic fungus, CEF642, isolated from the healthy cotton roots, suppressed by up to 53% after 15 days in a confrontation culture. Genome sequencing of CEF642 and mass spectrometry study of its metabolites were used to identify its primary antagonists.

Meristematic fungi are mainly defined as having aggregates of thick-walled, melanised cells enlarging and reproducing by isodiametric division. black meristematic and meristematic-like fungi have been allied to , which currently has two accepted families, and , with fungi mainly regarded as pathogens, parasites, saprobes and epiphytes of different plant species. This study aimed to verify the phylogenetic position using four nuclear markers (SSU, LSU, ITS and ) of the genera associated with , namely , , and , and the new genus, .
