[aspergillus insulicola sp. nov]. | a strain of aspergillus sp. is described and proposed as a new species under the name "aspergillus insulicola sp. nov." montemayor & santiago, 1973. this strain was isolated from soil samples taken in "aves island" during a scientific expedition.--aves island, situated at 15 degrees, 40 feet, 42 inches n and 63 degrees, 36 feet, 47 inches w, about 665 km of the coast of venezuela, has very special ecological conditions. due to its smallness: 550 m long and 40 to 120 m across and to its low profi ... | 1975 | 1128647 |
cytotoxic nitrobenzoyloxy-substituted sesquiterpenes from spongederived endozoic fungus aspergillus insulicola md10-2. | the emergence of drug resistance and spread of new infectious diseases necessitated the development of novel antibiotics. marine sponge-associated fungi represent a reservoir of novel molecules with diverse biological potentials. in this study, we isolated five nitrobenzoyloxy-substituted sesquiterpenes 1-5 from the culture mycelia of an endozoic fungus aspergillus insulicola md10-2, obtained from the south china sea sponge cinachyrella australiensis. compound 2 showed cytotoxicity against human ... | 2016 | 26696019 |
unraveling the numerous biosynthetic products of the marine sediment-derived fungus, aspergillus insulicola. | a new tripeptide, pre-sclerotiotide f (3), was isolated from a marine sediment-derived fungus, aspergillus insulicola, along with five known compounds, one of which was new at the time of isolation, scerotiotide f (4). the absolute configuration elucidation of the new compound was determined using a combination of nmr, hr-esi-ms, and optical rotation analyses. cytotoxicities were measured in vitro against selected cancer cells. the effects of pre-sclerotiotide f (3) and sclerotiotide f (4) on lp ... | 2012 | 22368725 |
azonazine, a novel dipeptide from a hawaiian marine sediment-derived fungus, aspergillus insulicola. | azonazine, a unique hexacyclic dipeptide, was isolated from a hawaiian marine sediment-derived fungus eventually identified as aspergillus insulicola. its absolute configuration, 2r,10r,11s,19r, was established using nmr, hresims, and cd data plus insights derived from molecular models. a possible route for its biogenesis is proposed, and biological properties were explored against cancer cell lines and in an nfκb inhibition assay. | 2010 | 20866076 |
toxigenic fungi associated with processed (green) coffee beans (coffea arabica l.). | processed (green) coffee beans from coffea arabica in brazil were assessed for the presence of aspergillus and penicillium species both before and after surface sterilisation, the aflatoxigenic and ochratoxigenic potential of the isolates and ochratoxin a levels. contamination by aspergillus and penicillium species was found on 96% and 42%, respectively, of 45 samples from 11 localities. after disinfection with 1% sodium hypochlorite, the levels fell to 47% and 24%, respectively. one hundred and ... | 2003 | 12878387 |
