Biotransformation of 7α-hydroxy- and 7-oxo-ent-atis-16-ene derivatives by the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi

The microbiological transformation of 7α,19-dihydroxy-ent-atis-16-ene by the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi gave 19-hydroxy-7-oxo-ent-atis-16-ene, 13(R),19-dihydroxy-7-oxo-ent-atis-16-ene, 7α,11β,19-trihydroxy-ent-atis-16-ene and 7α,16β,19-trihydroxy-ent-atis-16-ene, while the incubation of 19-hydroxy-7-oxo-ent-atis-16-ene afforded 13(R),19-dihydroxy-7-oxo-ent-atis-16-ene and 16β,17-dihydroxy-7-oxo-ent-atisan-19-al. The biotransformation of 7-oxo-ent-atis-16-en-19-oic acid gave 6β-hydroxy-7-oxo-ent-atis-16-en-19-oic acid, 6β,16β,17-trihydroxy-7-oxo-19-nor-ent-atis-4(18)-ene and 3β,7α-dihydroxy-6-oxo-ent-atis-16-en-19-oic acid.

Incubation of ent-7α,18-dihydroxykaur-16-ene with Gibberella fujikuroi affords ent-7α,18,19-trihydroxykaur-16-ene and ent-7α,18-dihydroxykaur-16-en-19-oic acid. There was no transformation into 7,18-dihydroxykaurenolide.     

水稻恶苗病菌(Fusarium fujikuroi)β-微管蛋白基因克隆及与多菌灵抗药性关系

【目的】揭示水稻恶苗病菌(Fusarium fujikuroi)对多菌灵的抗药性与其β-微管蛋白基因的相关性。【方法】结合形态学和TEF-1α基因序列对分离菌株进行鉴定;根据近源种拟轮枝镰孢菌(Fusarium verticillioides)核基因组测序菌株7600的β-微管蛋白核苷酸序列设计引物,采用PCR方法克隆并比对分析了F.fujikuroi对多菌灵不同敏感性表型的5个菌株的β-微管蛋白基因全序列;利用实时定量技术(qRT-PCR)分析了β-微管蛋白基因在上述5个菌株中的表达特性。【结果】F.fujikuroi的β-微管蛋白基因核苷酸序列(GenBank登录号:JQ026022)全长1671 bp,包含4个内含子,编码447个氨基酸残基;2个敏感性菌株和3个抗药性菌株的β-微管蛋白基因核苷酸序列同源性100%;在无药剂处理下该基因在2个敏感性菌株中的表达水平显著高于3个抗药性菌株(p=0.05),且对同一菌株而言,药剂处理能够显著提高β-微管蛋白基因表达水平(p=0.05),但在相同药剂处理条件下,菌株间差异不显著。【结论】F.fujikuroi对多菌灵的抗药性机制与β-微管蛋白无关,有待进一步研究。     

Fumonisin B1 production and vegetative compatibility of strains from Gibberella fujikuroi mating population “A” (Fusarium moniliforme)

We examined 25 strains of Fusarium moniliforme from eight states known to be associated with equine leukoencephalomalacia, a disease caused by the mycotoxin fumonisin B₁. We determined the mating population, mating type, and vegetative compatibility group to which each of these strains belonged. All 25 strains were in the A mating population; 12 were A⁺ and 13 were A^–. Seventeen of the 25 strains were female fertile; these strains also averaged higher levels of fumonisin B₁ production than did the strains that were female sterile. Nitrate non-utilizing (nit) mutants were generated in all 25 strains and each strain was assigned to a unique vegetative compatibility group based on the inability of the derived nit mutants to form a prototrophic heterokaryon with complementary nit mutants derived from any of the other strains examined. From these data, we concluded that the production of fumonisin B₁ is a general characteristic of strains from the A mating population of Gibberella fujikuroi associated with equine leukoencephalomalacia, since all 25 of the isolates that we examined were genetically distinct individuals.     

Biotransformation of the diterpene 15β-hydroxy-18(4→3)-abeo-ent-kaur-4(19),16-diene by the fungus Fusarium fujikuroi

15β-Hydroxy-18(4→3)-abeo-ent-kaur-4(19),16-diene (4) was biotransformed by the fungus Fusarium fujikuroi into 3α,11β,15β-trihydroxy-18(4→3)-abeo-ent-kaur-4(19),16-diene (5). The hydroxylation at C-3(α) in this diterpene reminds a similar reaction that occurs at C-13 in the biosynthesis of gibberellic acid in this fungus. The presence of the 15β-alcohol in the substrate directs the second hydroxylation at C-11(β), which had been observed in the incubation of ent-kaur-16-ene derivatives with this fungus when the C-19 hydroxylation was inhibited by the existence in the molecule of a 3α-OH or 3-oxo group. We also show that the angelate of the substrate is an undescribed natural product now identified as a component of the plant Distichoselinum tenuifolium.
