The contribution of renewable energy to the total world energy balance will grow continuously. Ethanol produced from renewable energy sources - biomass, is the most promising future biofuel. At present, it is used in fuel industry as an additive to petrol. In view of the development of biofuel production and ecological aspects, according to the EU recommendations, it will be produced and subsidised in the nearest several years. The use of biofuel has a positive effect on ecology, diminishes the emission of exhaust gases and improves the work of transport facilities and energy safety. It is suggested that fuelling cars with bioethanol would reduce greenhouse gas emission by 10÷15% compared with ordinary petrol. Presently, there are a number of advanced technologies of ethyl alcohol production in the world depending on raw material subjected to fermentation. According to the degree of processing, raw materials for the production of ethanol, the energy output of the process is different. In the future the

Microbial Biosystems 3(2), 46–55. Abstract Endophytic fungi produce important bioactive primary and secondary metabolites. Researchers used L-Asparaginase for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Endophytic taxon, Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.) Griff. and Maubl. has been isolated from Teucrium polium plant tissues collected from Saint Katherine Protectorate and was screened for its ability to produce L-Asparaginase qualitatively and quantitatively. The crude enzyme has been partially purified using gel-filtration Sephadex G-100 with an activity of 21.00 lMmL-1 min-1. The results revealed that L. theobromae (SCUF-TP2016) represents a rich source of bioactive metabolites that can be manipulated to produce L-Asparaginase which is a desirable novel analog for chemotherapy. Key words – Anti-leukemic, enzymes, Saint Katherine Protectorate, gel filtration. Introduction Endophytic fungi are group of endobionts that live asymptotically inside plant tissues for some time (Strobel and Daisy 2003).

Aneja2 1Department of Biotechnology, Chaudhary Devi Lal University, Sirsa – 125 055, India 2Department of Microbiology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra – 136 119, India Salar, R. K. and Aneja, K.R. (2007) Thermophilic Fungi: Taxonomy and Biogeography. Journal of Agricultural Technology 3(1): 77-107. A critical reappraisal of taxonomic status of known thermophilic fungi indicating their natural occurrence and methods of isolation and culture was undertaken. Altogether forty-two species of thermophilic fungi viz., five belonging to Zygomycetes, twenty-three to Ascomycetes and fourteen to Deuteromycetes (Anamorphic Fungi) are described. The taxa delt with are those most commonly cited in the literature of fundamental and applied work. Latest legal valid names for all the taxa have been used. A key for the identification of thermophilic fungi is given. Data on geographical distribution and habitat for each isolate is also provided. The specimens deposited at IMI bear IMI number/s. The document is a sound footing for future work of indentification and nomenclatural interests. To solve residual problems related to nomenclatural status, further taxonomic work is however needed. Key Words: Biodiversity, ecology, identification key, taxonomic description, status, thermophile Introduction Thermophilic fungi are a small assemblage in eukaryota that have a unique mechanism of growing at elevated temperature extending up to 60 to 62°C. During the last four decades many species of thermophilic fungi sporulating at 45oC have been reported. The species included in this account are only those which are thermophilic in the sense of Cooney and Emerson (1964).

Temperature in the ranges of 10 oC, 15 oC, 25 oC, 30 oC, 35 oC and 40 oCwere used to determine the temperature effect on the growth of these fungi. These fungi were also cultured on 100, 91, 80, 59.5, 47 and 32.5 % relative humidity. Highest growth of these fungi was obtained at 25 oC and 30 oC temperatures. The fungi showed highest growth at 80 and 91% relative humidity. The growth of these fungi was observed to increase with increase in relative humidity and vice versa.

Mycosphere 10(1), 798–1079, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/19 Abstract Endophytic fungi are symptomless internal inhabits of plant tissues. They are implicated in the production of antibiotic and other compounds of therapeutic importance. Ecologically they provide several benefits to plants, including protection from plant pathogens. There have been numerous studies on the biodiversity and ecology of endophytic fungi. Some taxa dominate and occur frequently when compared to others due to adaptations or capabilities to produce different primary and secondary metabolites. It is therefore of interest to examine different fungal species and major taxonomic groups to which these fungi belong for bioactive compound production. In the present paper a list of endophytes based on the available literature is reported. More than 800 genera have been reported worldwide. Dominant genera are Alternaria, Aspergillus, Colletotrichum, Fusarium, Penicillium, and Phoma. Most endophyte studies have been on angiosperms followed by gymnosperms. Among the different substrates, leaf endophytes have been studied and analyzed in more detail when compared to other parts. Most investigations are from Asian countries such as China, India, European countries such as Germany, Spain and the UK in addition to major contributions from Brazil and the USA.

Most of the samples of unmilled rice were heavily infested. However, fungi associated varied with the condition of the sample and place of collection. In all 30 fungal species be longing 19 genera could be reported in unmilled rice. Species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium were dominant. Nigrospora oryza, Phoma sorghina and Stachybotrys atra could be recorded in Kharif season samples only, while Myrothecium roridum could be recorded in Rabi season samples. In general samples of Kharif season were more mould infested than Rabi season samples.

Ninety healthy trees and 10 declining trees distributed in two altitudinal gradients and one latitudinal gradient resulted in a total of ca. 4,000 colonies (clustered in 97 OTUs) and 170.000 ITS rDNA sequences (grouped in 895 MOTUs). Community richness was explored completely in 454 sequencing, resulting ca. 10-fold higher in respect with that detected with culture-dependent method. The abundance of several species (Apiognomonia errabunda, Biscogniauxia nummularia and Epicoccum nigrum) and taxonomic groups (Pleosporales, Capnodiales, Helotiales) were found to be related with altitude and latitude. Fungal assemblages composition resulted scarcely comparable between the two techniques. Key words: culture-dependent method, 454 sequencing, fungal endophytes, phyllosphere, altitude, latitude, climate change Riassunto L’influenza della altitudine e latitudine su diversità e abbondanza della comunità fungina della fillosfera (rami e foglie) del faggio (Fagus sylvatica L.) è stata valutata mediante l’utilizzo isolamenti su terreno di coltura e 454 sequencing (pirosequenziamento). Da novanta alberi di faggio sani e 10 deperienti distribuiti su due gradienti abitudinali e uno altitudinale sono state isolate in totale ca. 4.000 colonie (raggruppate in 97 OTU) e 170.000 sequenze della regione ITS dell’rDNA (raggruppate in 895 MOTU).

Summiaya RAHIM*, Shahnaz DAWAR and Muhammad AZEEM Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi 75270, Pakistan (*Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected]) Received: 14 May 2014, Revised: 5 June 2015, Accepted: 12 July 2015 Abstract Twenty-two seed samples of inodorous melons, collected from the areas of Peshawar, Swabi, Tordher, Fatu-chuk, Mardan, Karachi, Islamabad, Ghotki, and Mandibahauddin, yielded 75 species of 36 fungal genera, isolated through ISTA (International Seed Testing Association) techniques. The agar plate method was chosen as being best for the qualitative and quantitative isolation of fungi, followed by the standard blotter method. The agar plate method yielded 64 species of 29 genera, while the blotter method yielded 24 species belonging to 14 genera. The deep-freezing method yielded only 2 species belonging to 2 genera. Aspergillus niger, followed by A. flavus, Chaetomium globosum, and Rhizopus stolonifer were the most dominant fungi in all 3 methods used. Forty species belonging to 25 genera had not been previously reported from Pakistan. Seven seed samples, which were highly infected with fungi, were grown in test tube slants, included samples from Tordher (1), Ghotki (1), Mandibahauddin (1), Karachi (2), Islamabad (1), and Fatu-chuk (1). Aspergillus flavus was the most dominant fungi, causing pre- emergence rot of seedlings. Fusarium oxysporum caused 3.6 % of seedling deaths after 10 - 12 days of incubation. Seed samples from Islamabad, Mandibahauddin, and Swabi were highly infected with A.
