The manuscript published by Microb Biotechnol, volume 10, highlights the
relevance of the fungus Nigrospora sphaerica, an endophyte isolated from
Catharanthus roseus, as an alternative source to obtain vinblastine, a compound
used in chemotherapy schemes to treat several types of cancer. Authors showed
that purification of vinblastine from extracts of the fungus has higher activity
and yield in comparison with that obtained from the plant Catharanthus roseus.
This work represents a biotechnological approach to obtain vinblastine with
promising results to decrease the production cost.
