ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the taxonomic structure and diversity of endophytic fungi from <italic>Datura metel </italic>and screen the strains with anti-dermatophyte activities, so as to provide resources for the development of new lead compounds against dermatomycosis.Method:
Endophytic fungi were isolated from the roots, stems and leaves of <italic>D. metel</italic> after tissue block incubation and then identified by morphological analysis and rDNA-internal transcribed spacer(ITS) sequencing. Their anti-dermatophyte activities were detected by agar diffusion assay.Result:
A total of 292 strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from <italic>D. metel</italic>, belonging to 34 genera, with<italic> Fusarium</italic> (72.97%) in roots, <italic>Fusarium </italic>(37.25%) and <italic>Plectosphaerella </italic>(28.43%) in stems, and <italic>Colletotrichum </italic>(39.66%) in leaves as the dominant species. The isolation rate (89.23%), colonization rate (84.62%), and diversity index (1.82) of endophytic fungi in leaves were significantly higher than those in roots (70.48%, 70.48% and 1.23) and stems (69.39%,68.03% and 1.64). The determination of anti-dermatophyte activities of 35 endophytic fungal fermented filtrates showed that the strains exhibiting inhibitory activities against <italic>Microsporum canis</italic>, <italic>Trichosporon mucoides</italic>, <italic>Trichophyton rubrum</italic> and <italic>Candida albicans </italic>accounted for 97.14%, 71.43%, 45.71%, and 25.71%, respectively. Among them, six strains (17.14%), namely <italic>Fusarium </italic>sp. R1, <italic>Penicillium </italic>sp. R5, <italic>Aspergillus </italic>sp. R7, <italic>Metarhizium </italic>sp.<italic> </italic>S18, <italic>Diaporthe </italic>sp. S19, and <italic>Glomerella </italic>sp.<italic> </italic>L57, all inhibited the four types of cutaneous fungal pathogens.Conclusion:
The endophytic fungi in <italic>D. metel</italic> are diverse, and the proportion of endophytic fungi possessing anti-dermatophyte activities is high, allowing them to serve as potential resources for the development of new anti-dermatophyte agents.
