Identification and characterization of filamentous fungi isolated from fermentation starters for Hong Qu glutinous rice wine brewing

Hong Qu glutinous rice wine is one of the most popular traditional rice wines in China. Traditionally, this wine is brewed from glutinous rice with the addition of wine fermentation starters (Hong Qu (also called red yeast rice) and White Qu). The objective of this study was to investigate the variability of filamentous fungi associated with traditional fermentation starters through a traditional culture-dependent method and a molecular identification approach. In this study, forty-three filamentous fungi were separated by traditional culture-dependent means (macro- and microscopic characteristics) from 10 fermentation starters and classified into 16 different species based on morphological examination and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences analysis. It was observed that the genus Aspergillus had the highest number (14 isolates) of isolates followed by Rhizopus (11 isolates), Monascus (5 isolates) and Penicillium (4 isolates). The species R. oryzae, A. niger, A. flavus and M. purpureus were frequently found in wine starter samples, among which R. oryzae was the most frequent species. The enzyme-producing properties (glucoamylase, α-amylase and protease) of all fungal isolates from different starters were also evaluated. A. flavus, R. oryzae and M. purpureus were found to be better glucoamylase producers. A. flavus, R. oryzae and A.oryzae exhibited higher activity of α-amylase. A. flavus and A. oryzae had higher protease activity. However, some fungal isolates of the same species exhibited a significant variability in the production levels for all determined enzyme activity. This study is the first to identify filamentous fungi associated with the starter of Hong Qu glutinous rice wine using both traditional and molecular methods. The results enrich our knowledge of liquor-related micro-organisms, and can be used to promote the development of the traditional fermentation technology.     

Genetic characterization of Brazilian strains of Aspergillus flavus using DNA markers

The Aspergillus genus belongs to a filamentous fungal group characterized by wide dispersion in the environment. Some species are associated with diseases, especially in immunocompromised patients, while others are of economical importance due to aflatoxin production or biotechnological applications. Its species identification is nowadays performed by traditional techniques combined with molecular markers, resulting in a higher efficiency of isolate characterization. In the present study, internal transcribed spacer, inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR), and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) molecular markers were used, with the aim of genetically characterizing strains of Aspergillus flavus and strains of other species of the A. flavus group. High genetic diversity was revealed by RAPD and by ISSR, in which the use of the (GACA)4 primer yielded a higher diversity than with the (GTG)5 primer, although the latter showed a characteristic banding profile for each species. These data were used to create a similarity matrix for the construction of dendrograms by means of the UPGMA method. The ISSR and RAPD profiles showed that among the strains previously identificated as A. flavus, one should be A. oryzae, one A. parasiticus and two A. tamarii. On the other hand, a strain previously identified as A. parasiticus should be A. flavus. All these strains were retested by traditional methods and their new species identification was confirmed. These results strongly support the need for using molecular markers as an auxiliary tool in differentiating fungal species and strains.

Progesterone side-chain degradation by some species ofAspergillus flavus group

Seventy isolates belonging to 6 species and one variety of A. flavus group were shown to degrade the progesterone side-chain to yield delta 4-androstene-3,17-dione and testosterone. The isolates of five species (A. flavo-furcatis, A. flavus, A. oryzae, A. parasiticus and A. tamarii) possessed enzyme systems catalyzing the opening of ring D and formed testololactone as final steroid metabolite in addition to their ability to produce the above mentioned two products. 11 beta-Hydroxy-delta 4-androstene-3,17-dione was formed by only A. flavus and A. tamarii while 11 beta-hydroxytestosterone was produced by A. flavo-furcatis, A. parasiticus and A. subolivaceus. The chromatographic resolution of the mixture products obtained (when the selective isolate of each species reacted with 1 g of progesterone) revealed that 60-75% of progesterone was converted into delta 4-androstene-3,17-dione (8-30%), testosterone (7-33%), testololactone (14-37%) and other products (3-40%). The most bioconversion activity was exhibited by A. oryzae, followed by A. parasiticus. The highest values of delta 4-androstene-3,17-dione (30% of added progesterone) and testosterone (33%) were formed by A. flavus var. columnaris while those of testololactone (37%) were produced by A. oryzae. A systematic variation could be observed between the different tested species of A. flavus group with respect to the transformation reactions of progesterone. Comparative biotransformation results showed that essential differences exist between the tested species in this group; this biochemical differentiation may supplement the morphological and other physiological criteria used in the identification of the different species in the A. flavus group.

Independent duplications of α-amylase in different strains of Aspergillus oryzae

Aspergillus oryzae is a filamentous fungus that has arisen through the ancient domestication of Aspergillus flavus for making traditional oriental foods and beverages. In the many centuries A. oryzae has been used for fermenting the starch in rice to simple sugars, it has undergone selection for increased secretion of starch-degrading enzymes. In particular, all A. oryzae strains investigated thus far have two or more copies of a gene encoding α-amylase, whereas A. flavus has only one. Here we investigate the duplications leading to these copies in three A. oryzae strains. We find evidence of at least three separate duplications of α-amylase, an example of parallel evolution in a micro-organism under artificial selection. At least two of these duplications appear to be associated with activity of transposable elements of the Tc1/mariner class. Both involve a 9.1 kb element that terminates in inverted repeats, encodes a putative transposase and another putative protein of unknown function, and contains an unusual arrangement of four short internal imperfect repeats. Although "unusual Mariners" of this size have previously been identified in A. oryzae, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus nidulans, this is the first evidence we know of that at least some of them are active in modern times and that their activity can contribute to beneficial genetic changes.     

Development of VNTR markers for three Aspergillus species used in brewing

Using a bioinformatics approach, we developed 18 variable number of tandem repeat markers for Aspergillus oryzae for use in population genetic studies. Repeat sequences in the genome sequences of A. oryzae were identified by a tandem repeat finding program. Length polymorphisms at 18 loci were examined in 41 strains of A. oryzae. The total number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 20. Investigation of cross-species amplifications with A. sojae and A. tamarii showed success. The variable number of tandem repeat markers will be used to determine the population structure of these three Aspergillus species used in brewing.
