Endophytic

Endophytic bacteria can colonize plant tissues without bringing about adverse effects on the plant, in contrast to epiphytes that remain in the external environment. Bacteria with the established potential for degradation have been used to improve the tolerance and degradation of contaminants ...

Cinchona alkaloids have been used as drugs for the treatment of several diseases. Quinine is very popular as an antimalarial drug against the erythrocyte stage of the parasite [34]. Recently, Shibuya et al. (2003) reported the microbial transformation of four Cinchona alkaloids (quinine, quini-dine, cinchonidine, and cinchonine) by endophytic fungi isolated from Cin-...

That the oxidative burst is directly involved in the chemical defense of these algae is clear. This reaction can be inhibited by diphenyleneiodonium, a suicide inhibitor of NADPH-oxidase which suppresses both the production of reactive oxygen species and the natural resistance to epiphytic bacteria. In addition a role in the defense against endophytes was indicated, since pre-treatment with oligomeric guluronates resulted in decreased infection of L. digitata with the pathogen Laminariocolax tomentosoides [141].
