• Argifin, a new chitinase inhibitor, produced by Gliocladium sp. FTD-0668. I. Taxonomy, fermentation, and biological activities [2].
• Mixtures of the microheterogeneous 16-mer peptaibol antibiotics called antiamoebins (AAM) have been isolated from the culture broths of strains of the filamentous fungi Stilbella erythrocephala ATCC 28144, Stilbella fimetaria CBS 548.84 and Gliocladium catenulatum CBS 511.66 [3].
• Four new antibiotics, TMC-171A (2), B (3), C (4) and TMC-154 (5) have been isolated from the fermentation of fungal strains Gliocladium sp. TC 1304 and TC 1282, respectively [4].

Biological context of Gliocladium

• In the present study a 9.4-kb plasmid, pCL1, was used to transform the saprophytic fungus Gliocladium virens. pCL1 was derived from pJS294 by placing the fungal promoter (prom1) from Cochliobolus heterostrophus upstream and the trpC terminator from Aspergillus nidulans down-stream of the opd gene [6].

Anatomical context of Gliocladium

• In a screening for inducers of differentiation of HL-60 cells, cultures of Gliocladium strain 4-93 were found to produce Sch 52900, a previously isolated diketopiperazine (Chu et al,. J Antibiotics 48, 1440-1445) [7].

Associations of Gliocladium with chemical compounds

• Siderophore mediated iron(III) uptake in Gliocladium virens. 1. Properties of cis-fusarinine, trans-fusarinine, dimerum acid, and their ferric complexes [8].
• A new chitinase inhibitor, named argifin, was isolated from the cultured broth of a fungal strain Gliocladium sp. FTD-0668 [9].
• Inhibition of c-fos proto-oncogene induction by Sch 52900 and Sch 52901, novel diketopiperazine produced by Gliocladium sp [10].
• The fungistatic compound viridin, produced by the fungus Gliocladium virens, was found to be irreversibly reduced to the phytotoxin viridiol in liquid culture [11].
• Preliminary screening with 150 fungal species showed that Gliocladium roseum was capable of metabolizing zearalenone in 80-90% yields [12].

Gene context of Gliocladium
