A Database of Metabolites known from Fungi present in the Culture Collection of Myko Tech
Myko Tech possesses nearly 1,000 cultures of fungi, mostly cultured from the Western Ghats of India. Many of these are rare and unique tropical fungi. The company has developed a database on metabolites reported in literature for some of these fungi. Many genera in our culture collection do not seem to have been screened for metabolites, to the best of our knowledge. A list of 86 such fungi is given at the end of the database. The database is a selective compilation that includes only those that are not common and routinely isolated by mycologistsl and those that are seldom found in culture collections. Myko Tech seeks partners in research and product development who wish to access these cultures from our culture collection and study them further with a view to developing novel pharmaceutical and biotechnological products.
An example:
Arthrinium arundinis
Compound: Arundifungin, an acidic steroid.
Structure:
Activity:
The compound has antimicrobial and fungicidal properties and may be useful for controlling systemic and superficial fungal infections in humans with fewer side effects than standard antifungal agents such as amphotericinB or fluconazole.
