次生代谢物对厌氧发酵的影响英文文章Title: The Impact of Secondary Metabolites on Anaerobic FermentationIntroductionAnaerobic fermentation is a process widely used in the production of various products such as ethanol, lactic acid, and methane. It involves the breakdown of organic compounds in the absence of oxygen to produce energy and various metabolites. However, the presence of secondary metabolites in the substrate can significantly impact the efficiency and yield of anaerobic fermentation processes. In this article, we will explore the effects of secondary metabolites on anaerobic fermentation and discuss methods to mitigate their negative impacts.Effects of Secondary MetabolitesSecondary metabolites are organic compounds produced by microorganisms during their growth and metabolism. These compounds can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on anaerobic fermentation processes. Some secondary metabolites, such as vitamins and antioxidants, can enhance the growth and metabolic activity of the fermenting microorganisms, leading to increased production of desired products. However, othersecondary metabolites, such as phenolics, organic acids, and antibiotics, can inhibit the growth and activity of fermenting microorganisms, resulting in reduced yields and lower fermentation efficiency.Phenolics, which are commonly found in plant material used as substrates for anaerobic fermentation, can have a strong inhibitory effect on fermenting microorganisms. They can disrupt the cell membrane integrity, inhibit enzyme activity, and interfere with metabolic processes, leading to decreased microbial growth and fermentation rates. Organic acids, such as acetic acid and lactic acid, can also inhibit microbial growth by disrupting the intracellular pH and membrane potential. Additionally, antibiotics present in the substrate can selectively kill or inhibit certain microbial species, disrupting the microbial community structure and reducing fermentation efficiency.Mitigation StrategiesTo mitigate the negative effects of secondary metabolites on anaerobic fermentation, various strategies can be employed:1. Substrate Selection: Choosing substrates with lower concentrations of inhibitory secondary metabolites can help improve the efficiency and yield of anaerobic fermentation processes. Pretreatment methods, such as washing, steamexplosion, and enzymatic hydrolysis, can also be used to reduce the levels of inhibitory compounds in the substrate.2. Microbial Adaptation: Some microbial species have the ability to adapt to and tolerate high concentrations of secondary metabolites. By selecting and culturing robust microbial strains that are resistant to inhibitory compounds, it is possible to improve fermentation performance in the presence of secondary metabolites.3. Nutrient Supplementation: Supplementing the fermentation medium with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids can help offset the inhibitory effects of secondary metabolites on microbial growth and metabolism. This can improve the overall fermentation efficiency and yield of desired products.4. Process Optimization: Adjusting the operational parameters of anaerobic fermentation processes, such as pH, temperature, agitation, and fermentation time, can help mitigate the negative impacts of secondary metabolites. By optimizing these parameters, it is possible to create an environment that is more conducive to microbial growth and metabolic activity.ConclusionSecondary metabolites play a significant role in shaping the outcomes of anaerobic fermentation processes. While some secondary metabolites can enhance fermentation efficiency, others can inhibit microbial growth and metabolism, leading to reduced yields and lower product quality. By understanding the effects of secondary metabolites on anaerobic fermentation and employing appropriate mitigation strategies, it is possible to improve the performance and sustainability of fermentation processes. Further research is needed to explore new methods for mitigating the negative impacts of secondary metabolites and optimizing anaerobic fermentation processes for enhanced product yield and quality.。

ISSN 1118-057ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AND MEDICINALPROPERTIES OF GINGER (zingiber officinale )S. P. MALU, G. O. OBOCHI, E. N. TAWO AND B. E. NYONG(Received 20, June 2008; Revision Accepted 6, November 2008)ABSTRACTThe antibacterial activity and medicinal properties of ginger extracts were studied. Ginger extracts were obtained using solvents, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanolic soxhlet and water. The extracts were assayed for antibacterial activity and bacterial growth inhibition activity. The results showed that all the extracts except the water extract have antibacterial activity and that the inhibition of bacterial growth was dose dependent. The results also showed that ginger extracts possesses antibacterial properties and could be used for the treatment of bacterial infections.KEY WORDS : Ginger, Antibacterial activity, inhibition of bacterial growth, medicinal properties and bacterial infections.INTRODUCTION Ginger (zingiber officinale ), Roscoe belonging to the Family Zingiberaceae, is a perennial herb with thick tuberous rhizomes. The erect leafy aerial stem grows up to approximately 1 meter in height and has purple flowers (fig.1). Its roots are used as spice in cooking throughout the world. The ginger plant has a long history of cultivation known to originate in China and then spread to India, South East Asia, West Africa and the Caribbean (Weiss, 1997; McGee, 2004). Ginger contains up to 3% of an essential oil that causes the fragrance of the spice (O’Hara et al,1998). The main constituents are sesquiterpenoids with (-)-zingiberene as the main component. Other components include β-sesquiphellandrene bisabolene and farnesene which are also sesquiterpenoids,( β-sesquiphellandrene, The pungent taste of ginger is due to non-volatile phenylpropanoid – derived compounds, gingerols and shogaols. The shogaols are formed fromFigure1: An erect stem of ginger zingiber officinale ) Figure 2: A thick tuberous rhizome of ginger root. 365is less pungent and has a sweet aroma (O’Harold, 2004). Ginger is a minor chemical irritant, and has a sialagogue action, stimulating the production of saliva (O’Hara et al, 1998). Mature ginger roots are fibrous and nearly dry. They can be cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can be stewed in boiling water to make ginger tea, to which honey is often added as a sweetener; sliced orange or lemon fruit may also be added. The juice of ginger roots is extremely potent and is often used as spice to flavour dishes such as seafood, mutton, snacks or stew. Powdered dry ginger roots (ginger powder) are typically used to add spiciness to ginger bread and other recipes. Ginger is also made into candy and used as flavoring for cookies, crackers and cakes as well as flavour in ginger ale-a sweet, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage. ginger bread, ginger snaps, ginger cake and ginger biscuits (McGee,2004).Medically ginger is used as a stimulant and carminative, and is used frequently for drypepsia and colic (O’Hara et al, 1998). It has a sialaggogue action, stimulating the production of saliva. It is also used to disguise the taste of medicines. Ginger promotes the release of bile from the gall bladder (Opdyke, 1974; Kato et al, 1993; O’Hara et al, 1998). Ginger may also decrease joint pain from arthritis, may have blood thinning and cholesterol lowering properties and may be useful for the treatment of heart diseases and lungs diseases (Opdyke, 1974; Kato et al, 1993; O’Hara et al, 1998; Kuschener and Stark, 2003). The characteristic odour and flavour of ginger root is caused by a mixture of gingerone, shoagoles and gingerols, volatile oils that make up about 1-3% of the weight fresh ginger.The gingerols increase the motility of the gastrointestinal tract and have analgesic, sedative and antibacterial properties (O’Hara et al, 1998). Ginger has been found effective by multiple studies for treating nausea caused by seasickness, morning sickness and chemotherapy (Ernst and Phittler, 2000). Ginger has been reported to be effective for the treatment of inflammation, rheumatism, cold, heat cramps, and diabetes (Al-Amin, 2006; Afshari, 2007).Allergic reactions to ginger include heartburn, bloating, gas, belching and nausea (particularly if taken in powdered form). Unchewed fresh ginger may result in intestinal blockage, and individuals who have had ulcers, inflammatory bowel diseases or blocked intestines may react badly to large quantities of fresh ginger (Opdyke, 1974; O’Hara et al, 1998). Ginger can also adversely affect individuals with gallstones, and may affect blood pressure, clotting, and heart rhythms (O’Hara et al, 1998).The aim and objective of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial activity and bacterial growth inhibition of ginger extracts.MATERIAL AND METHODSCollection and treatment of sampleThe ginger roots were obtained at the Marian Market (Calabar, Nigeria). The roots were sun dried for seven days and ground into fine powder using an electric grinder. Then 100g of the powdered mass obtained was stored in clean sterile bottles at room temperature and used for the extractions. soxhlet extraction of 20g of ginger powder in 100ml of 95% ethanol at 78o C using soxhlet apparatus. The extract was then concentrated to 20ml on a water bath and dried at room temperature.The n-hexane extract was obtained by dissolving 20g of the powdered ginger in 100ml of n-hexane in a conical flask. The mixture was stirred, covered, and allowed to stand for 24hrs, and filtered using sterile Whitman No.1 filter paper. The filtrate was concentrated to 20ml on a water bath and evaporated to dryness at room temperature.The ethyl acetate and water extracts were obtained by repeating the above procedure for n-hexane. The various extracts were used for the analysis of antibacterial activities and bacterial inhibition assay. Antibacterial activityThe antibacterial activity was determined by the diffusion method of Kirby Bauer described by Duguid et al, (1989). This method determines the antibacterial activity of the extracts.Preparation of the nutrient mediumNutrient agar medium was prepared by dissolving 2.8g of nutrient agar in 100ml distilled water. The solution was sterilized in an autoclave at 121o C (1.1N pressure) for 15 min. The suspension was cooled and poured into sterile Petri-dishes to solidify. The agar depth of the medium was 4.0mm.Preparation of cultures and innoculationPure cultures of coli form bacillus, staphylococcus epidermidis and streptococcus viridans obtained from the Microbiology Laboratory in the Department of Microbiology, Cross River University of Technology, Calabar, Nigeria, were separately used to inoculate the Petri-dishes. This was done by streaking the surface of the plates in a zigzag manner until the entire surface was then covered. The inoculated plates were then incubated at room temperature for 24hours. Assay of antibacterial activityThe extracts were serially diluted to obtain 1.0%, 0.5%, 0.25%, and 0.125% solutions in sterile test tubes. Sterilized 9mm filter paper disc soaked in the diluted extracts were placed on the plates and incubated for 24hours at room temperature.The plates were examined for clear zones of inhibition. Presence of zones of inhibition indicated activity. The zones were measured.RESULTSTable 1 presents the results of antibacterial activity of the ginger extracts. The results showed that the extracts except the water extract have antibacterial activity. The results that ginger roots extracts, viz.n-hexane, ethyl acetate and soxhlet extracts have antibacterial activities on colliform bacillus, staphylococcus epidermidis and streptococcus viridians while the water extract did not have antibacterial activity on these bacterial. The results may suggest that n-hexane; ethyl acetate and soxhlet extract of ginger root could be potent against bacterial infections while the water extract of ginger roots could be ineffective.bacterial growth by the extracts. The results showed that n-hexane, ethyl acetate and soxhlet extracts showed inhibition of bacterial growth of coliform bacillus, strapylococcus epidermidis and streptococcus viridans. However, there was no bacterial growth inhibition with inhibition of bacterial growth appeared to be dose dependent since no activiy was observed at low concentrations. Since no activity was observed at very low concentrations.Table 1.The antibacterial activity of the ginger roots extractsTest organism n-hexane extract Ethyl acetate extractSoxhlet extract Water extractColiform bacillus+ + + - Staphylococcus Epidermidis + + + - Streptococcus viridans+ + + - + = Active - = Not activeTable 2.

The results of the inhibition of bacterial growth have shown that the extracts are active at high concentration and inactive at very low concentrations. Thus the study may suggest that the inhibition of bacterial growth activity of the extracts is dose dependent. The soxhlet appears to be most active and can be beneficial in the treatment of bacterial infections. The antibacterial activity and inhibition activity of ginger extracts could be attributed to the chemical properties of ginger. The main constituents of ginger are sesquiterpenoids with zingiberene as the main component. Other components include β-sesquiphellandrene, bisabolene and farnesene, which are sesquiterpenoids, and trace monoterpenoidfraction,( β-sesquiphellandrene, cineol and citral)(O’Hara et al,1998). The terpenoids are of important in pharmacy due to their relationship with such compounds as vitamin A and could be of immense medical applications. Terpenoids are reactive compounds (Ekam and Ebong, 2007). Ginger has a sialagogue action, which stimulate the production of saliva, and can be used to disguise the taste of medicines (O’Hara et al,1998). The gingerols could make ginger available for treatment of stomach acidity and may have analgesic and sedative properties (O’Hara et al, 1998). In conclusion, this study has shown that ginger extracts possess medicinal properties, antibacterial activity and that the inhibition of bacterial growth was dose dependent. The results of this may suggest that the n-hexane, ethyl acetate and soxhlet extracts of the ginger roots could be used for treating bacterial infections, drypepsia and colic. these extracts may also be used for treating common cold, digestive disorders, hypercholesterolemia, heart diseases, lung diseases and could also be used as analgesic, particularly, in relieving pains from arthritis.REFERENCES Afshari, A.T., 2007.

The results based on morphological characters revealed six genera namely Bionectria (Papochf04), Fusarium (Papochf05), Leptodontidium (Papochf07), Neonectria (Papochf02), Setophoma (Papochf08) and Trichocladium (Papochf01). Isolates Papochf01, Papochf02, Papochf03, Papochf06 and Papochf08 have not been previously reported as the endophytic fungi. The filtrate and mycelia n-butanol extracts obtained from the isolates Papochf05 and Papochf08 exhibited strong inhibition on all the test bacteria including Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas lachrymans, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Salmonella typhimurium, and Xanthomonas vesicatoria. This finding shows that endophytic fungi from P.polyphylla var. chinensis could be an alternative source for producing antimicrobial agents.Key words: Paris polyphylla var. chinensis, endophytic fungi, n-butanol extract, TLC-bioautography assay, antibacterial activity.INTRODUCTIONPlant endophytic fungi are defined as the fungi which spend the whole or part of their lifecycle colonizing inside the healthy tissues of the host plant, typically causing no apparent symptoms of disease (Rodriguez et al., 2009). They have been found to produce many valuable bioactive metabolites including anti-microbial, anti-insect, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic and immuno-suppressant compounds with their great potential applications in agriculture, medicine and food industry (Verma et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2010; Kharwar et al., 2011; Zhao et al., 2011a). The typical bioactive compounds included taxol from endophytic fungus Taxomyces andreanae in Taxus brevifolia(Stierle et al., 1993), podophyllotoxin from Phialocephala fortinii in Podophyllum peltatum (Eyberger *Corresponding author. E-mail: lgzhou@. et al., 2006), camptothecin from Entrophospora infrequens in Nothapodytes foetida(Puri et al., 2005), spirobisnaphthalenes from endophytic fungus Dzf12 in Dioscorea zingiberensis(Cai et al., 2009; Zhao et al., 2011b), beauvericin from Fusarium redolens Dzf2 in D. zingiberensis(Xu et al., 2010), helvolic acid from Pichia guilliermondii in Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (Zhao et al., 2010), and botralin from Hyalodendriella sp. Ponipodef12 in poplar hybrid 'Neva' (Zhong et al., 2011a). Paris polyphylla Smith var. chinensis(Franch.) Hara (Trilliaceae), a perennial endangered medicinal herb, is mainly distributed in central China (Yuan et al., 2004). It has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for a long time with a variety of medicinal uses as the antidote for snake bite, antibiotic, antitumor, contraceptive, sedative, and so on (Mimaki et al., 2000). The phytochemical and pharmacological studies on this herb have resulted in isolation of several steroidalsaponins with a wide range of biological activities including cytotoxic activity on HL-60 cells (Mimaki et al., 2000), haemostatic effect (Ma and Lau, 1985) as well as antifungal activity on Cladosporium cladosporioides and Candida sp. (Deng et al., 2008). To the best of our knowledge, there is no reported study on the endophytic fungi associated with P. polyphylla var. chinensis though there were some reports about the endophytic bacteria isolated from this plant (Zhao et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2006). The aim of this study was to isolate and identify the endophytic fungi from the rhizomes of P. polyphylla var. chinensis as well as to screen their antibacterial activity.MATERIALS AND METHODSPlant materialsThe healthy rhizomes of three-year-old Paris polyphylla Smith var. chinensis (Trilliaceae) were collected from the Shennongjia Forest District in Hubei Province of China in June 2009. The plant was identified according to the morphological features by Prof. Jiaru Li, a botanist from the College of Life Sciences at Wuhan University of China. The voucher specimen (BSMPMI-200906001) of this plant was deposited in the Herbarium of the Institute of Chinese Medicinal Materials, China Agricultural University. The plant samples were stored in the sealed plastic bags at 4°C until required.Isolation and culture of the endophytic fungiThe isolation of fungi was performed following the process described by Xu et al. (2008) with some modifications. Briefly, the healthy rhizomes of P. polyphylla var. chinensis were washed thoroughly with running tap water first, then surface sterilized by dipping them in 75% ethanol for 30 s, followed by immersing in 0.2% mercuric chloride for 20 min, then rinsed in sterile distilled water thrice (that is, 5 min for each time), and finally dried on the sterile tissue paper. The epidermis of each rhizome explant was removed with a sterile scalpel. The sterilization process was con-firmed by placing the sterile epidermal tissues on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plate. After sterilization, each rhizome (without epidermis) was cut approximately into 5 × 5 × 5 mm cubes which were individually placed on PDA plates supplemented with streptomycin sulfate (500 mg/L) to suppress bacteria growth. After the plates were incubated in the dark at 25°C for 7 to 30 days, the number of fungi was counted, and each fungal colony was isolated and sub-cultured to get a pure culture. The colonization frequency (CF) of each endophyte was calculated according to the method of Hata and Futai (1995). CF = (N COL/N t) × 100, where N COL is the number of cubes colonized by each fungus and N t is the total number of cubes. All the isolated fungi were deposited at the Department of Plant Pathology, China Agricultural University. Morphological characterizationThe morphological characters including colony diameter, texture, color, the dimensions and morphology of hyphae and conidia of the fungal isolates were observed and described according to the methods of Photita et al. (2005), Barnett and Hunter (1972) and Ainsworth et al. (1973).Shan et al. 3441DNA extraction, ITS-rDNA amplification and sequence analysis Total genomic DNA of the fungal isolates was prepared according to a modification of the rapid preparation of DNA from filamentous fungi (Raeder and Broda, 1985). Primers ITS1 (5'- TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCGG -3') and ITS4 (5'- TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC -3'), as well as ITS-rDNA amplification were referenced by our previous reports (Xu et al., 2008; Li et al., 2008; Zhong et al., 2011). For identification, the PCR products were purified using the QIA quick Gel Extraction Kits (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and sequenced using the primer pair ITS1 and ITS4 on the ABI PRISM 3730 sequencer. Then the sequences were run by BLASTN program against the database (National Center for Biotechnology Information website: ), and they were submitted to GenBank where the accession numbers were obtained.Mycelial suspension culture and n-butanol extract preparation A 1000 ml Erlenmeyer flask containing 200 ml of potato dextrose broth (PDB) was inoculated with 2 to 3 agar plugs containing mycelia taken from the culture of each endophytic fungal isolate purified on PDA. All flasks were incubated on a rotary shaker at 150 rpm and 25°C for 15 days. After suspension culture, the culture broth (1 L for each fungal isolate) was filtrated in vacuum to afford the filtrate and mycelia. The filtrate was extracted with an equal volume of n-butanol for three times. The mycelia were lyophilized and powdered, followed by extracting with ultrasound in methanol for three times. The concentrated methanol extract was dissolved in water, and then extracted with an equal volume of n-butanol for three times. The above n-butanol solutions were concentrated in vacuum at 50°C to obtain mycelia and filtrate extracts, respectively. Detection of antibacterial activity of the extractsThin layer chromatography (TLC)-bioautography assay of the samples was carried out according to the method of Zhao et al. (2008). Three Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis ATCC 11562, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Staphylococcus haemolyticus ATCC 29970) and five Gram-negative (Agrobacterium tumefaciens ATCC 11158, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas lachrymans ATCC 11921, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC14028, and Xanthomonas vesicatoria ATCC 11633) bacteria were selected for antibacterial assay. All these bacterial strains were provided by the Department of Plant Pathology of China Agricultural University. After the TLC plate covered with the test bacterium was incubated at 28°C for 12 h, the color reagent was sprayed with 0.5 mg/ml of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT, purchased from Amresco, USA), and incubated for another 10 min. The presence of antibacterial activity was determined by the formation of well-defined inhibition zones made visible by spraying with MTT that was converted to a formazan dye by the living microorganism (Bernas and Dobrucki, 2000). Antibacterial activity was detected as white inhibition zones against a purple background, and the length of each antibacterial area was measured. All tests were performed in triplicate. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONIdentification of the endophytic fungiA total of 29 endophytic fungal isolates were obtained from the healthy rhizomes of P. polyphylla var. chinensis.3442 Afr. J. Microbiol. Res.Figure 1. Colony front views of the fungal isolates Papochf01 to Papochf08 in Petri dishes. The period of culture at 25°C on PDA was in 7 to 21 days. A, isolate Papochf01; B, isolate Papochf02; C, isolate Papochf03; D, isolate Papochf04; E, isolate Papochf05; F, isolate Papochf06; G, isolate Papochf07; H, isolate Papochf08.According to their morphological features, eight distinct fungal isolates, which colonies growing in Petri dish were shown in Figure 1, were selected for further taxonomical identification with their morphological features shown in Table 1. Six genera namely Bionectria(Papochf04), Fusarium(Papochf05), Leptodontidium(Papochf07), Neonectria(Papochf02), Setophoma (Papochf08) and Trichocladium(Papochf01) were identified. Isolates Papochf03 and Papochf06 were not identified. The fungi of genus Fusarium were the first main isolates with their colonization frequency (CF) as 43.8%. The fungi of genus Setophoma were the second main isolates with CF as 20.8%.The ITS1-5.8S-ITS4 partial sequences of 8 isolates were submitted to the GenBank to obtain their accession numbers (that is, HQ731629-HQ731636), and the closest related species were got by BLAST analysis (Table 2). The results showed that all the sequences had more than 89% similarity with the species in GenBank. Comparison of the ITS-rDNA sequences obtained from the isolates with the sequences available in the GenBank databases allowed us to analyze the phylogenetic affiliation of these fungi (Figure 2). The molecular characters of the endophytic fungi were basically coincident with their morphological ones. The similarity of Papochf03 was only 94% to Fusarium cuneirostrum AB513850, and con-siderable morphological differences were found between Papochf03 and Papochf05, which should not be in the genus Fusarium. The isolates Papochf03 and Papochf06 need further identification.Fusarium species as the main frequent endophytic fungi have been isolated from a great number of plant species (Rodriguez et al., 2009; Aly et al., 2011). In this study, Papochf05 (Fusarium redolens) with its CF as 43.8% was the most commonly isolated fungus from this plant. This was consistent with the previous reports (Li et al., 2008; Macia-Vicente et al., 2008; Xu et al., 2008). For the above isolated fungi, Fusarium redolens (Papochf05) has been isolated from healthy Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis(Li et al., 2008), and Dioscorea zingiberensis(Xu et al., 2008). Bionectria ochroleuca (Papochf04) has been isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis (Cao et al., 2011). Leptodontidium orchidicola (Papochf07) has been isolated from the roots of tomato (Andrade-Linares et al., 2011), and the roots of Pedicularis bracterosa(Narisawa et al., 2007). Other isolated fungi (that is, Papochf01, Papochf02, Papochf03, Papochf06 and Papochf08) have not been previously reported as the endophytic fungi.Detection of antimicrobial activityAntibacterial activity results of the endophytic fungal extracts against eight bacteria by using TLC-bio-autography method were shown in Table 3. The mycelia and filtrate n-butanol extracts of some isolates (i.e., Papochf03, Papochf05 and Papochf08) for their inhibitory zones on test bacterium Pseudomonas lachrymans in aTLC plate were shown in Figure 3.

DQ092522 89except Papochf07 filtrate extract showed antibacterial activity to some extent. Both Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Salmonella typhimurium were more sensitive to the extracts than other bacteria. For some fungal isolates (for example, Papochf01-Papochf03, Papochf07), the mycelia extracts showed stronger antibacterial activity than the filtrate extracts. Among the isolates, Papochf05 and Papochf08 exhibited the strongest inhibition on test bacteria. Very interestingly, Fusarium redolens has been found to produce beauvericin with a high yield (Xu et al., 2009; 2010). Papochf05, which was identified as F. redolens and displayed strong antibacterial activity, should be further studied for its active metabolites.ConclusionWe first reported the endophytic fungi from medicinal plant P. polyphylla var. chinensis, and detected their antibacterial activity with TLC-bioautography assay.

Whether the endophytic fungi in P. polyphylla var. chinensis contribute to the host plant to have anti-microbial activity should be investigated in detail. Further studies on taxonomy and isolation of antimicrobial com-pounds from these fungi (e.g., Papochf03, Papochf05, Papochf06 and Papochf08) are now in progress.
