Some coprophilous Ascomycetes from Chile

A new genus and species of Xylariaceae, Ascotrichella hawksworthii, and a new species of Trichobolus, T. vanbrummelenii, are described from unknown bird dung in Chile.

Anthostomella calligoni, an endophyte of Suaeda fruticosa in Dorset

Anthostomella calligoni, isolated as an endophyte, is described and illustrated. Its taxonomic position within the genus and within the family Xylariaceae is briefly discussed.

Metabolites of the higher fungi. Part 21. 3-Methyl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins and related compounds from the ascomycete family xylariaceae

Culture solutions of members of the ascomycete family Xylariaceae produce a series of 5-substituted 8-hydroxy-3-methyl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins as major metabolites. Ramulosin, iso-ochracein, and mellein are produced by three Hypoxylon species and 4-hydroxy iso-ochracein by one species. The antibiotic pyrenophorin is produced by Nummularia broomeiana. The synthesis of 7-formylmellein from mellein is described and the products from the alkaline rearrangement of 5-formylmellein are studied spectroscopically.
