定期转种法和低温冷冻法保藏致病真菌活性的能力比较

定期转种法和低温冷冻保存法是临床实验室最常用的两种真菌保存方法,为比较两种方法保藏致病真菌活性的能力,本研究使用两种保藏方法对实验室689株致病真菌保藏5年后进行检测。定期转种法是将菌落接种于马铃薯斜面培养基并将其储存在4℃冰箱,每6个月转种1次。低温冷冻法是挑取马铃薯斜面培养基上生长良好的菌落于无菌10%甘油中,放置在-80℃储存。保藏5年后,将两种方法保藏的菌株转种复苏,比较菌株的复活率。对于念珠菌属Candida、新生隐球菌Cryptococcus neoformans、毛癣菌属Trichophyton、曲霉属Aspergillus和孢子丝菌属Sporothirix真菌,两种方法的菌株复活率无统计学差异;对于小孢子菌属Microsporum真菌和马尔尼菲蓝状菌Talaromyces marneffei,使用低温冷冻法保藏的菌株复活率高于定期转种法保藏的菌株复活率;对于着色霉属Fonsecaea真菌,低温冷冻法保藏的菌株复活率低于定期转种法保藏的菌株复活率。因此,我们认为对于常见致病真菌的长期保藏,使用10%甘油作为保护剂的低温冷冻法优于定期转种法,但其不适用于着色霉属Fonsecaea真菌的长期保藏。

芽孢杆菌冷冻真空干燥法和砂管法保藏过程中存活率的变化

以芽孢杆菌(Bacillus)为材料,用冷冻真空干燥法和砂管法,在4℃条件下进行了六年的菌种保藏对比试验.结果表明,冷冻真空干燥法比砂管法保藏的菌种存活率高,存活率下降速率小;建立了菌种保藏过程中菌种相对存活率随时间变化规律的数学模型L′_f(t)=e~(-0.1323t)和L′s(t)=e~(-0.2900t).该模型的模拟结果能与试验结果较好地吻合.在室温条件下,砂管法的菌种存活率下降速率比4℃条件下大,三个月时存活率为零或接近零;而冷冻真空干燥法保藏菌种存活率与4℃的效果接近.因此冷冻真空干燥法是芽孢杆菌的比较有效的保藏方法.

考察保护剂、保藏温度及预冷冻方法对Schizochytrium sp.HX-308菌种存活率及发酵性能保持的影响。结果显示:在-80℃低温保藏6个月后,渗透性保护剂的细胞存活率均比非渗透性保护剂高了5%,其中用60%(质量分数)海藻糖的保护剂最终的株细胞存活率达到80.02%,明显优于其他保护剂。采用液氮-196℃保藏菌种(两步预冷冻法、60%海藻糖保护剂),存储6个月后存活率高达90.70%,生物量、油产量和二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)产量分别达到了61.65、26.41和11.10 g/L,为最优的保藏方法,为裂殖壶菌的实验室研究及工业化生产提供了一种长期安全的保藏法。     

雨生红球藻FACHB-712营养细胞和厚壁孢子低温保藏效果及优化

以高产虾青素的雨生红球藻（Haematococcus pluvialis Flotow）FACHB-712藻株为材料,研究2种细胞形态（营养细胞和厚壁孢子）在低温保藏下的复苏率及其差异原因。结果显示,采用两步法（先预冻降温后再投入液氮中）冻存其营养细胞,在不同冻存条件下,其存活率均低于5%,以10%甘油作为保护剂、冻存速率为0.5℃/min、预冻温度为-40℃、保留30 min,然后再投入液氮罐（-196℃）中保藏,其存活率可达到13.3%。采用两步法冻存厚壁孢子,其复苏存活率高达66.13%,复苏萌发后细胞的生长特性、虾青素含量与液氮保藏前无明显差异（P > 0.05）。对液氮保藏前后藻细胞形态和超微结构观察结果表明,超低温保藏后,营养细胞的结构受到较大损伤,而厚壁孢子受到的损伤相对较小。当添加不同保护剂后,直接将厚壁孢子分别冻存在-20℃、-80℃低温及液氮中,发现-80℃低温冻存处理组的复苏存活率相对较高,可达27%。研究表明采用两步法先预冻降温后再投入液氮中冻存厚壁孢子,是长期保藏雨生红球藻FACHB-712的最佳方法,也可采用一步法将厚壁孢子冻存于-80℃冰箱中。

The preservation of lactobacilli: A comparison of three methods

Lyophilization, desiccation on pumice stone and storage in dilute glycerol at-20C were compared for the preservation of Lactobacillus cultures. After storage for two years, 73% of the lyophilized cultures were viable. Desiccation on pumice stone gave erratic results and is not recommended. Storage in 20% (v/v) glycerol at-20C is simple and convenient and after 24 months, 75% of the cultures were viable. It is a useful method of maintaining routinely accessed cultures.     

Biosynthesis of galactomannans found in filamentous fungi belonging to Pezizomycotina

The galactomannans (GMs) that are produced by filamentous fungi belonging to Pezizomycotina, many of which are pathogenic for animals and plants, are polysaccharides consisting of α-(1→2)-/α-(1→6)-mannosyl and β-(1→5)-/β-(1→6)-galactofuranosyl residues. GMs are located at the outermost layer of the cell wall. When a pathogenic fungus infects a host, its cell surface must be in contact with the host. The GMs on the cell surface may be involved in the infection mechanism of a pathogenic fungus or the defense mechanism of a host. There are two types of GMs in filamentous fungi, fungal-type galactomannans and O-mannose type galactomannans. Recent biochemical and genetic advances have facilitated a better understanding of the biosynthesis of both types. This review summarizes our current information on their biosynthesis.     

Evaluation of the Viability of Pathogenic Filamentous Fungi after Prolonged Storage in Sterile Water and Review of Recent Published Studies on Storage Methods

We have evaluated the survival and potential morphological alterations of 45 species of pathogenic filamentous fungi that had been stored in sterile water following Castellani’s method in the National Collection of Pathogenic Fungi (NCPF). Storage duration varied from 2 months to over 21 years. Ninety percent of stored organisms were shown to be viable. Viability was largely independent of the duration of storage, but did apparently vary to some degree in an organism-specific manner. In addition, certain fungi were shown to have undergone morphological alterations during storage, and exhibited significant degrees of pleomorphism upon revival. This was especially marked for several isolates of dermatophytes, where storage resulted in loss of recognisable colonial features, and overproduction of sterile mycelium with aberrant or no conidia. These findings suggest that while Castellani’s method remains an easy and inexpensive method for long-term preservation of most fungi, water storage should be supplemented by a second storage method to increase the chances of retaining both viability and morphological stability over long periods.

Filamentous Fungi Associated with Bivalve Mollusks from Polluted Biotopes of Ussuriiskii Bay,Sea of Japan

We have studied for the first time the taxonomic composition of filamentous fungi associated with the bivalve mollusks Crenomytilus grayanus (Bunker, 1853) and Modiolus modiolus (Linnaeus, 1758), collected in polluted biotopes of Ussuriiskii Bay (Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan). One hundred fifty-five strains of higher fungi were isolated, and 35 species of filamentous fungi were identified. Out of these, 28 species were anamorphous fungi of the genera Aspergillus (12), Penicillium (10), Acremonium (1), Alternaria (1), Aureobasidium (1), and Cladosporium (3) (Deuteromycota), and 7 were species of the genera Chaetomium (6) and Myxotrichum (1) (Ascomycota). Twenty-four species of filamentous fungi were isolated from the internal organs of C. grayanus: 8 from the muscles, 8 from the hepatopancreas, 6 from the female gonads, 4 from the mantle, 3 from the kidneys and male gonads, and 1 from the gills. Twenty-one species of filamentous fungi were isolated from the internal organs of Modiolus modiolus: 10 from the muscles, 6 from the hepatopancreas, 5 from the female gonads, 3 from the kidneys, 3 from the mantle, and 1 from the gills. The bulk of the isolated species of the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, and Chaetomium were pathogenic and toxigenic fungi.     

Secretomes of medically important fungi reflect morphological and phylogenetic diversity

Secretome represents a main target for understanding the mechanisms of fungal adaptation. In the present study, we focus on the secretomes of fungi associated with infections in humans and other mammals in order to explore relationships between the diverse morphological and phylogenetic groups. Almost all the mammalian pathogenic fungi analyzed have secretome sizes smaller than 1000 proteins and, secreted proteins comprise between 5% and 10% of the total proteome. As expected, the correlation pattern between the secretome size and the total proteome was similar to that described in previous secretome studies of fungi. With regard to the morphological groups, minimum secretome sizes of less than 250 secreted proteins and low values for the fraction of secreted proteins are shown in mammalian pathogenic fungi with reduced proteomes such as microsporidia, atypical fungi and some species of yeasts and yeast-like fungi (Malassezia). On the other hand, filamentous fungi have significantly more secreted proteins and the highest numbers are present in species of filamentous fungi that also are plant or insect pathogens (Fusarium verticilloides, Fusarium oxysporum and Basidiobolus meristosporus). With respect to phylogeny, there are also variations in secretome size across fungal subphyla: Microsporidia, Taphrinomycotina, Ustilagomycotina and Saccharomycotina contain small secretomes; whereas larger secretomes are found in Agaricomycotina, Pezizomycotina, Mucoromycotina and Entomophthoromycotina. Finally, principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted on the complete secretomes. The PCA results revealed that, in general, secretomes of fungi belonging to the same morphological group or subphyla cluster together. In conclusion, our results point out that in medically important fungi there is a relationship between the secretome and the morphological group or phylogenetic classification.
