稻曲球及稻曲病菌菌落微结构的SEM观察

本文对不同培养条件下稻曲病菌菌落及稻曲球的微结构进行了扫描电镜比较研究。在PS培养液里进行液体培养时,稻曲病菌很少产生分生孢子和厚垣孢子,只有培养后期漂浮在培养液表面的菌落可以产生大量的厚垣孢子。病原菌在进行PSA固体培养时,大部分菌株在培养后期产生大量的成堆分布的厚垣孢子,少部分菌株在菌落上产生散生的厚垣孢子。说明暴露于空气有助于稻曲病菌产生厚垣孢子。在煮熟的带壳谷粒上稻曲病菌的生长明显比在去壳上的要慢得多。微结构分析表明,稻曲球表面是一层密集的厚垣孢子,菌丝与稻粒的胚乳层界限分明,大部分稻曲球中部有大块的发育良好的胚乳,并充满密集的淀粉粒。说明稻曲病菌可能在开花灌浆后开始侵染,而且至少后期是腐生的。

草菇厚垣孢子的生物学特性

草菇(Volvariella volvacea)的有性过程以同宗结合为主。即可以不经过两株不同单孢子形成的初生菌丝配命,就可以形成能结菇的次生菌丝。草菇菌丝体不论其环境条件适宜与否,当生长到一定时期,总要形成厚垣孢子(Chlamydospore)。草菇的厚垣孢子呈圆形,直径40-60微米,红褐色至棕褐色。它的萌发温度略高于孢子,约39-41℃。萌发时先伸出一芽管;有的厚垣孢子萌发后膨大产生新的厚垣孢子,似芽殖分裂;有的则直接形成新的次生菌丝体。试验证明,草菇在营养基质十分贫瘠或在营养丰富的条件下,都能产生厚垣孢子。普遍认为,厚垣孢子的形成是草菇的遗传生理特性,而不是由于不良环境引起的。这一点与过去的说法不同。草菇的初生菌丝与次生

The effect of temperature and relative humidity on the formation of Metarhizium anisopliae chlamydospores in tick eggs

The influence of ambient conditions on the development of Metarhizium anisopliae chlamydospores in tick eggs is reported for the first time. The infection of tick eggs by M. anisopliae involves common events, such as adhesion, conidial germination, appressoria formation, invasion, and development within the eggs. However, the final stage of fungal development differs according to the environmental conditions. At high humidity (close to 100%) and moderate temperature (25°C) the fungus emerged from the eggs and formed conidiophores and conidia externally on the dead eggs. Elevating the temperature to 30°C or reducing humidity to 55-75% induced the production of chlamydospores inside the eggs, without conidiogenesis. When eggs with mature chlamydospores were returned to the appropriate conditions (25°C and 100% RH), conidiogenesis was recovered. Formation of chlamydospores, observed by means of histology and TEM, began with the thickening and septation of hyphae. As the chlamydospore wall thickened a new external undulated wall layer appeared. The mature chlamydospore in eggs has an oval shape (5.3 ± 0.9 microm long, 2.5 ± 0.2 microm wide); its wall comprises three distinct layers. The ability of M. anisopliae to produce chlamydospores under harsh conditions is advantageous and should be considered in application.     

Conidioma development in Ophiodothella vaccinii

The perithecial ascomycete Ophiodothella vaccinii causes a leafspot disease of sparkleberry (Vaccinium arboreum), in which an anamorph is produced early in the life cycle of the fungus. The anamorph forms shiny, black, pulvinate conidiomata that contain a single central pore. After initial infection, fungal hyphae permeate the interior tissues of the leaf, creating lesions. Conidiomata are initiated by the formation of a small layer of intertwined, thicker-walled hyphae beneath the epidermis of the lesion. Near the center of this hyphal layer a subglobose collection of thick-walled hyphae is formed. This hyphal collection grows upward, becoming conical and pressing against the epidermis. Elongation of a columnar apex of the hyphal collection ruptures the epidermis, creating a pore. Subsequent expansion and development of conidiophores and conidia push the epidermis upward, lifting it away from the column, opening the pore and allowing conidia to emerge. The conidioma is regarded as a modified acervulus.     

Chlamydospores of Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis in Tissue of Pulmonary Mucormycosis

Hyphae are usually the only fungal elements found in tissue of mucormycosis, and other fungal elements are quite rarely encountered. We found chlamydospores in bronchial lumina in autopsied tissue of pulmonary mucormycosis of a diabetic patient. Chlamydospores are thick-walled, asexually produced spores arising from the modification of a hyphal segment. This is the first histologic demonstration of chlamydospores in mucormycosis in which the causative fungus is culturally identified to species level. Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis was isolated from the present autopsied pulmonary tissue. A literature review of human infection by this fungus found 27 cases with histopathologic evidence.     

Production of monoclonal antibodies to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense race 4

The production of monoclonal antibodies (mab) to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc ) race 4 is described. Heat-killed conidia of this fungus were toxic to female Balb/c mice, but this toxic reaction was not found with fractionated hyphal walls. A simple and reproducible enzyme immunoassay using a standard 9 cm polystyrene Petri dish as a solid phase was devised for screening culture supernatant fluids. Sixteen stable hybridoma clones secreting mabs of the IgM class were isolated by fusing splenic lymphocytes from immunized female Balb/c mice with P3-NSl-Ag4-l mouse myeloma cells. Monoclonal antibodies produced by eight of the 16 hybridoma clones were selected and the specificity of the mabs was determined by an indirect immunofluorescence test. Of the eight mabs, only one displayed an exceptionally high degree of specificity to the thick-walled chlamydospores of Foc race 4. This specific reactivity allowed differentiation of Foc race 4 from other races.     

Ethylene production by Botrytis cinerea in vitro and in tomatoes

A laser-based ethylene detector was used for on-line monitoring of ethylene released by the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea in vitro and in tomato fruit. Ethylene data were combined with the results of a cytological analysis of germination of B. cinerea conidia and hyphal growth. We found that aminoethoxyvinylglycine and aminooxyacetic acid, which are competitive inhibitors of the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid pathway, did not inhibit the ethylene emission by B. cinerea and that the fungus most likely produces ethylene via the 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyric acid pathway. B. cinerea is able to produce ethylene in vitro, and the emission of ethylene follows the pattern that is associated with hyphal growth rather than the germination of conidia. Ethylene production in vitro depended on the L-methionine concentration added to the plating medium. Higher values and higher emission rates were observed when the concentration of conidia was increased. Compared with the ethylene released by the fungus, the infection-related ethylene produced by two tomato cultivars (cultivars Money Maker and Daniela) followed a similar pattern, but the levels of emission were 100-fold higher. The time evolution of enhanced ethylene production by the infected tomatoes and the cytological observations indicate that ethylene emission by the tomato-fungus system is not triggered by the ethylene produced by B. cinerea, although it is strongly synchronized with the growth rate of the fungus inside the tomato.     

Roles of low pH, carbon and inorganic nitrogen source use in chlamydospore formation by Fusarium solani.

Citrate and malate were poorer sources of exogenous carbon than several hexose, pentose, or disaccharide sugars for supporting macroconidial germination by Fusarium solani at high conidial density (1 X 10(5) condia/ml). Only citrate, however, failed to block chlamydospore morphogenesis to a degree comparable to glucose or other readily used sugars. Mostly immature chlamydospores were formed in the presence of citrate. At low conidial density (5 X 10(3) conidia/ml), exogenous carbon-independent macroconidial germination and subsequent rapid chalmydospore formation on germ tubes was not inhibited by ammonium or nitrate nitrogen. The citrate-phosphate buffered, low pH (4.0) medium of Cochrane induced more immature chlamydospore formation by F. solani than a pH 6.0 medium, but few mature chlamydospores were formed in either medium. Condensation of hyphal cytoplasm into developing chlamydospores, a character typical of chlamydospore formation, did not occur extensively and macroconidia, hyphae, and immature chlamydospores stained deeply with Sudan III, suggesting lipid biosynthesis. This inhibition of chlamydospore maturation may be due partly to nitrogen deficiency imposed by the high C:N ratio of the medium and to the presence of citrate. Only vesiculate hyphal cells were formed by F. solani f. sp. phaseoli in both media. Field soils to which the clone of F. solani used is indigenous had mean pH values ranging from 5.2 to 6.0.     

Microcycle speculation in theClaviceps purpurea 244

The mutant strainClaviceps purpurea 244 forming hyphae composed mainly from sclerotiumlike cells was found to sporulate both in liquid and solid media, particularly in the form of terminal chlamydospores (4.0 × 6.5 μm). Chlamydospores produced during submerged cultivation germinated, new chlamydospores being formed directly from germ tubes, or, occasionally, conidia (the so-called microcycle) or new vegetative mycelium were formed. The ultrastructures of the chlamydospores and vegetative cells was identical. The cytoplasm was filled with ribosomes and contained lipid inclusions and vacuoles with membrane invaginations. Strain 244 cultivated under submerged conditions produced 150 μg/ml clavins, with elymoclavin predominating (82 %). The parent strainClaviceps purpurea 129 only produced chlamydospores on the vegetative mycelium, whereas no microcycle was detected; under submerged conditions it produced mainly agroclavin (85 %) at a concentration of 4 mg/ml.     

Impact of nutritional conditions on yields,germination rate and shelf-life of Plectosporium alismatis conidia and chlamydospores as potential candidates for the development of a mycoherbicide of weeds in rice crops

The effect of nutritional conditions on spore qualities was investigated in order to select which propagules, conidia or chlamydospores, would be most suitable for mycoherbicide development. Plectosporium alismatis was grown in a liquid basal medium supplemented with glucose and a mineral nitrogen source (sodium nitrate) or an organic nitrogen source (casamino acids). Conidial and chlamydospore yields, germination rate and shelf-life were compared. Two growth models were developed: on one hand, sodium nitrate added as the sole nitrogen source was partially utilised (8%), resulting in poor growth (1.77±0.02 mg mL^?1; 6±1.7×10⁵ conidia mL^?1). Under these conditions, P. alismatis produced dense, melanised-like aggregates that contained chlamydospores (12.4±0.7×10⁴ chlamydospores mL^?1). Germination rates of chlamydospores and conidia produced under these conditions was high (80%). Twenty percent of chlamydospores were able to germinate after 4 months storage at 25°C, while survival of conidia declined rapidly (<2%). When casamino acids were added to the liquid medium as the sole nitrogen source, P. alismatis produced sparser pellets resulting in high dry weights (5.37±0.09 mg mL^?1 and high conidia numbers (9.6±1.5×10⁶ conidia mL^?1), while no chlamydospore were observed. The germination rate of conidia produced in casamino acids was low (33±13%) after 8 h incubation and microcycle conidiation occurred. Five percent of these conidia germinated after 4 months storage. These data indicate that chlamydospores may be suitable for mycoherbicide development, provided further optimisation of yields is achieved.
