Importance and distribution
Shrestha et al. (2001) reported paclitaxel from endophytic Sporormia minima which can be used in chemotherapy medication (Swamy et al. 2022).
Biochemical importance of the genus, chemical diversity or applications
Sporormia produces several chemicals. McGahren et al. (1968) reported Dihydroisocoumarins from Sporormia. McGahren et al. (1969) reported chlorinated cyclopentenone fungitoxic metabolites from S. affinis. The metabolite 2-trans-allyl-5-chloro-1-hydroxy-4-oxo-2-cyclopentene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester was reported from coprophilous S. affinis (Kabanyane et al. 2000).
There are 87 Sporormia epithets in Index Fungorum (2022), but several species have been transferred to Preussia and Sporormiella. Sporormia has wide host distribution such as Brassica sp. (Brassicaceae), Diplotaxis erucoides (Brassicaceae), Juncus roemerianus (Juncaceae), Malus sylvestris (Rosaceae), Millingtonia hortensis (Bignoniaceae), Musa sp. (Musaceae), Oryza sativa (Poaceae) and Sorghum sp. (Poaceae). Sporormia is distributed in Asia (India), Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago), Europe (Spain, United Kingdom), South America (Brazil) and the United States (Florida, Kansas, Washington).
