Five previously undescribed pyridone derivatives, tolypyridones I-M, were identified from the solid rice medium fermented by Tolypocladium album dws120, along with two known compounds tolypyridone A (or trichodin A) and pyridoxatin. Their planar structures and partial relative configurations have been determined by careful interpretation of their spectroscopic data. The full assignment of the relative and absolute configurations of tolypyridones I-M was achieved by gauge-independent atomic orbital C NMR calculation, quantitative nuclear Overhauser effects based interatomic distance calculation, and electronic circular dichroism calculation. In addition, we have fully determined the configuration of tolypyridone A by X-ray diffraction analysis. In bioassay, tolypyridones I was able to restore cell viability and inhibit the release of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase for ethanol-induced LO2 cells, suggesting its potential as a liver protective agent.

Prenylation plays a pivotal role in the diversification and biological activities of natural products. This study presents the functional characterization of TolF, a multiple prenyltransferase from Tolypocladium inflatum. The heterologous expression of tolF in Aspergillus oryzae, coupled with feeding the transformed strain with paxilline, resulted in the production of 20- and 22-prenylpaxilline.

Indole terpenoids make up a large group of secondary metabolites that display an enticing array of bioactivities. While indole diterpene (IDT) and rarely indole sesquiterpene (IST) pathways have been found individually in filamentous fungi, here we show that both cluster types are encoded within the genome of . Through heterologous reconstruction, we demonstrate the cluster encodes for IST biosynthesis and can tailor IDT substrates produced by the cluster.

To prevent the exploitation of wild agarwood, the development of artificial agarwood through fungal inoculation is a promising method, but finding species that produce efficient high-quality agarwood remains difficult. In this study, a fungal inducer was prepared using wild agarwood containing fungi and high-throughput sequencing was performed to determine its species makeup. Subsequently, it was used to inoculate (Lour.

In this study, fungal strains designated as KNUF-22-14A and KNUF-22-15A were isolated from soil samples in Korea. These two strains were identified based on cultural and morphological characteristics as well as phylogenetic analyses and were found to be morphologically and phylogenetically identical. Upon their morphological comparison with closely related species, such as , , , , and , a difference in the size of short phialides [0.
