Induction of cryptic metabolites of the endophytic fungus Trichocladium sp. through OSMAC and co-cultivation.

ABSTRACT: The endophytic fungus Trichocladium sp. isolated from roots of Houttuynia cordata was cultured on solid rice medium, yielding a new amidepsine derivative (1) and a new reduced spiro azaphilone derivative (3) together with eight known compounds (4-11). Co-cultivation of Trichocladium sp. with Bacillus subtilis resulted in induction of a further new compound (2) and a 10-fold increase of 11 compared to the axenic fungal culture. Moreover, when the fungus was cultivated on peas instead of rice, a new sesquiterpene derivative (13) and two known compounds (12 and 14) were obtained. Addition of 2% tryptophan to rice medium led to the isolation of a new bismacrolactone (15). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR as well as by com
