Endophytic Fungi Are Multifunctional Biosynthesizers 71Sesquiterpenoids were repeatedly reported from endophytes associated
with plants from different habitats. Brasilamides (74-75) are tricyclic
sesquiterpens derived from the endophytic fungus Paraconiothyrium
brasiliense isolated from the branches of Acer truncatum (Liu et al., 2010). An
endophyte identified as Guignardia mangiferae was isolated from the leaves
of toxic plant Gelsemium elegans. The chemical investigation of the cultures
of this fungus yielded five novel Eremophilane sesquiterpenes (76-80) along
with known related terpenes (Liu et al., 2015).
