硫磺菌原变种液体培养代谢物生物活性分析

硫磺菌原变种Laetiporus sulphureusvar.sulphureus在液体培养条件下对果蝇具有致死效应,研究发现在液体培养过程中分泌到细胞外的代谢产物是致死效应的主要原因,并且上清液对果蝇的生物活性受pH值的影响。离子交换树脂柱和高效液相色谱分离分析表明草酸存在于硫磺菌原变种培养液的上清液中并且是果蝇致死效应和培养体系pH下降的一个重要因素。硫磺菌原变种在气升式反应器ALR/ff培养体系中草酸的浓度、菌丝体量和pH值呈简单相关。进一步分析发现还有另外一种结构未知、在碱性条件下呈紫红色的色素也具有致死效应。

Antimicrobial activity of Laetiporus sulphureus strains grown in submerged culture]

Cultural conditions for growth and fruit body formation were elaborated to four strains of Laetiporus sulphureus isolated from nature. All strains demonstrated antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria during agar and submerged cultivation including methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and glycopeptide-resistant strain of Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Antifungal activity was not found. The level of antimicrobial activity during submerged cultivation reached maximum after seven days of growth on specific medium with soybean meal and corn liquid; the next four weeks its increasing was not so manifested. Antimicrobial activity correlated with orange pigment secretion and cultural liquid acidification to pH 2.0-2.8 that indicates on acid nature of synthesized products.     

Evaluation of antifungal properties of octyl gallate and its synergy with cinnamaldehyde

The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of using octyl gallate alone or with organic biocides as a preservative against wood decay fungi. Antifungal activities of three antioxidants, propyl gallate, octyl gallate and butylated hydroxyltoluene (BHT) were tested against four wood decay fungi, Lenzites betulina, Trametes versicolor, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Laetiporus sulphureus. Octyl gallate was found to be the only active compound with IC50 values of 0.47, 0.16, 0.24 and 0.04 mM against L. betulina, T. versicolor, G. trabeum and L. sulphureus, respectively. A synergistic effect was also found when octyl gallate was combined with cinnamaldehyde. Results obtained herein demonstrated that octyl gallate by itself exhibited an excellent antifungal property and enhanced protection was further observed by combining it with cinnamaldehyde.     

Antioxidant components of Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.: Fr.) Murr. fruit bodies

Antioxidant activity of fruit bodies of Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.: Fr.) Murr. (Polyporales) obtained by the natural plantation growing method in Pribaikal'e (Irkutsk region) has been studied. It was determined that the ethyl acetate fraction of L. sulphureus, which was chromatographically separated into seven compounds identified as quercetin, kaempferol, (+)-catechin, p-coumaric, gallic, caffeic, and chlorogenic acids was characterized with more expressed antioxidant activity. All compounds were extracted from this basidiomycete species for the first time. The quantitative amount of the substances isolated from L. sulphureus was determined by HPLC. It was found that antioxidant activity of preparations obtained from L. sulphureus is conditioned by phenolic compounds.     

Biochemical characterization of the exopolysaccharide purified from Laetiporus sulphureus mycelia

The extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) was isolated from mycelial cultures of Laetiporus sulphureus var. miniatus and purified by DEAE cellulose and Sephadex G-50 column chromatography. The purified EPS (EPS-2-1) was composed of only glucose units and its molecular mass was 6.95 kDa. The chemical structure of EPS-2-1 consisted of a main chain containing (1-->4)-Glcp units with branches at the C-6 position of the chain carrying -Glcp-(1-->4)-linked residues. The effect of purified EPS on immunomodulatory genes and proteins of the Bcl-2 family was observed using cultured U937 human leukemia cells. Of note, the levels of Bax and Bad proteins treated with the EPS (4 mg/ml) were approximately 23- and 18-times higher than those in non-treated cells, respectively. These results may suggest that the EPS purified from the mushroom L. sulphureus is associated with the activation of immunomodulatory mediators, Bax and Bad proteins.     

Laetiporic acids, a family of non-carotenoid polyene pigments from fruit-bodies and liquid cultures of Laetiporus sulphureus (Polyporales, Fungi)

The non-isoprenoid polyene laetiporic acid A, recently described from fruit-bodies of the wood-rotting fungus Laetiporus sulphureus, was found to be the major orange pigment also in mycelium grown in liquid culture. Its formation was variable, ranging from 0.1 to 6.7 mg/g dry weight in three strains, all of which were identified as L. sulphureus by ITS rDNA sequence analysis. A second pigment, 2-dehydro-3-deoxylaetiporic acid A, is also described and fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Two further minor pigments, laetiporic acids B and C, were produced in liquid culture. These resemble laetiporic acid A but are enlarged by two and four carbon atoms, respectively, resulting in chromophores with 11 or 12 instead of 10 conjugated double bonds as described for laetiporic acid A. Since fruit-bodies of L. sulphureus are edible, laetiporic acids might hold potential as food colourants.     

Chemical polymorphism and antifungal activity of essential oils from leaves of different provenances of indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum)

The essential oils isolated from nine geographical provenances of indigenous cinnamon (Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kaneh.) leaves were examined by GC-MS and their chemical constituents were compared. According to GC-MS and cluster analyses the leaf essential oils of the nine provenances and their relative contents were classified into six chemotypes-cinnamaldehyde type, cinnamaldehyde/cinnamyl acetate type, cinnamyl acetate type, linalool type, camphor type and mixed type. In addition, the antifungal activities of leaf essential oils and their constituents from six chemotypes of indigenous cinnamon were investigated in this study. Results from the antifungal tests demonstrated that the leaf essential oils of cinnamaldehyde type and cinnamaldehyde/cinnamyl acetate type had an excellent inhibitory effect against white-rot fungi, Trametes versicolor and Lenzites betulina and brown-rot fungus Laetiporus sulphureus. The antifungal indices of leaf essential oils from these two chemotypes at the level of 200 micro/ml against T. versicolor, L. betulina and L. sulphureus were all 100%. Among them, the IC(50) (50% of inhibitory concentrations) value of the essential oil of cinnamaldehyde type leaf against L. sulphureus was 52-59microg/ml. Cinnamaldehyde possessed the strongest antifungal activities in comparison with other constituents of the essential oils from cinnamaldehyde type leaf, at the level of 100microg/ml its antifungal indices against T. versicolor, L. betulina and L. sulphureus were 100%. The IC50 values of cinnamaldehyde against T. versicolor, L. betulina and L. sulphureus were 73, 74 and 73microg/ml, respectively.     

Synergistic effects of cinnamaldehyde in combination with eugenol against wood decay fungi

The combined effects of using cinnamaldehyde with catechin, quercetin or eugenol against wood decay fungi were examined by comparing their isoeffective concentrations to that of individual compound. Among all combinations, cinnamaldehyde with eugenol revealed the strongest synergy against Laetiporus sulphureus. The synergism was due to the interference of fungal cell wall synthesis and cell wall destruction plus radical scavenging effect. Results also suggested that antioxidant with fungicidal effect might be a better candidate than pure antioxidant for the system of fungicide/antioxidant.     

Molecular phylogeny of Laetiporus and other brown rot polypore genera in North America

Phylogenetic relationships were investigated among North American species of Laetiporus, Leptoporus, Phaeolus, Pycnoporellus and Wolfiporia using ITS, nuclear large subunit and mitochondrial small subunit rDNA sequences. Members of these genera have poroid hymenophores, simple septate hyphae and cause brown rots in a variety of substrates. Analyses indicate that Laetiporus and Wolfiporia are not monophyletic. All North American Laetiporus species formed a well supported monophyletic group (the "core Laetiporus clade" or Laetiporus s.s.) with the exception of L. persicinus, which showed little affinity for any genus for which sequence data are available. Based on data from GenBank, the southern hemisphere species L. portentosus also fell well outside the core Laetiporus clade. Wolfiporia dilatohypha was found to represent a sister group to the core Laetiporus clade. Isolates of Phaeolus, Pycnoporellus and members of the core Laetiporus clade all fell within the Antrodia clade of polypores, while Leptoporus mollis and Laetiporus portentosus fell within the phlebioid clade of polypores. Wolfiporia cocos isolates also fell in the Antrodia clade, in contrast to previous studies that placed W. cocos in the core polyporoid clade. ITS analyses resolved eight clades within Laetiporus s.s., three of which might represent undescribed species. A combined analysis using the three DNA regions resolved five major clades within Laetiporus s.s.: a clade containing conifer-inhabiting species ("Conifericola clade"), a clade containing L. cincinnatus ("Cincinnatus clade"), a clade containing L. sulphureus s.s. isolates with yellow pores ("Sulphureus clade I"), a clade containing L. sulphureus s.s. isolates with white pores ("Sulphureus clade II") and a clade containing L. gilbertsonii and unidentified isolates from the Caribbean ("Gilbertsonii clade"). Although there is strong support for groups within the core Laetiporus clade, relationships among these groups remain poorly resolved.     

Modification of wood with isopropyl glycidyl ether and its effects on decay resistance and light stability

China fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata var. lanceolata) and maple (Acer sp.) wood were etherified with isopropyl glycidyl ether and the decay resistance and light stability of the modified wood were assessed. CP/MAS (13)C NMR and FT-IR analyses indicated that new ether bonds containing isopropyl groups formed after reacting wood with isopropyl glycidyl ether. Modified wood samples were very resistant to decay when exposed to brown-rot fungus Laetiporus sulphureus or white-rot fungus Lenzites betulina for 60 days in the soil-block test. The isopropyl glycidyl ether treatment of wood was effective in decreasing formation of phenoxyl radicals upon UV irradiation and thus protecting wood from photodiscoloration.
