The main objective of this research work focused on investigating the biological and chemical aspects of endophytic fungus Chaetomium globosum, for pharmaceutical purposes to improve the drug discovery process. The endophytic C. globosum was isolated from healthy leaves of Egyptian medicinal plant Adiantum capillus-veneris collected from Saint Katherine Protectorate, Sinai, Egypt. The identification of C. globosum was on the basis of classical and molecular taxonomy. Gene encoding for 18S rRNA was partially sequenced, submitted to the GenBank and got the accession number JN711454, to resolve the phylogenetic relations with fungal ancestor using phylogenetic tree. To explore the biosynthetic power of endophytic C. globosum JN711454, the fungus was cultivated over five different media, oatmeal, rice, yeast malt glucose, potato dextrose agar (PDA) and Czapek’s dox media, for 3 weeks at 30 °C, followed by extraction with different solvents, ethyl acetate (EA), and methanol. The ethyl acetate extract of C. globosum cultivated on PDA medium was the most potent extract. It showed strong antioxidant activity with EC50 11.5 μg/ml, potent anticancer activity with 55 % toxicity toward HepG-2 cells at 100 μg/ml and 66 % cytotoxicity to FGC4 cells at 250 μg/ml, promising butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activities (>85 %), and moderate antimicrobial and stopped the attachment of HSV-2 virus to VERO cells. The metabolomic profiling of PDA–EA extract using LC–MS revealed the presence of several metabolites to which the observed bioactivities could be attributed. Here we report for the first time inhibitory activity of endophytic C. globosum JN711454 secondary metabolites to butyrylcholinesterase, one of neuro hydrolase enzymes that play a major role in development of Alzheimer’s disease.  相似文献

Bipolaris sorokiniana causes spot blotch in wheat and barley. The pathogen produces toxin (BS-toxin), which is a sesquiterpenoid belonging to eremophilane family. Isolates of Trichoderma spp., Chaetomium globosum and Pseudomonas fluorescens were tested for detoxification of BS-toxin amended in semi-synthetic medium at different concentrations. All the antagonists showed mycelial growth in toxin amended medium but their growth was less in comparison to growth in normal medium. The growth of biocontrol agents decreased with increasing concentration of toxin. Two isolates of C. globosum (Cg1 and Cg2), T.viride (TV5-2) and Pseudomonas fluorescens produced 4.9, 2.9, 3.6 g mycelium and 5.5 × 105 cfu /ml, respectively exhibiting 50% or less reduction in growth in BS-toxin amended medium at 1,000 ppm concentration. The biocontrol agents also reduced the severity of toxin-induced symptoms and electrolyte leakage from the wheat leaf tissues. Among the microbes tested, maximum reduction in electrolyte leakage was observed in C. globosum (Cg2) treated toxin samples. The spectral analysis also showed a remarkable decrease in optical density of Cg2 treated toxin at 294 nm. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed almost complete degradation of BS-toxin in C. globosum (Cg2) treated samples.  相似文献

An endo-1,4-β-xylanase gene, xylcg, was cloned from Chaetomium globosum and successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The complete gene of 675 bp was amplified, cloned into the pET 28(a) vector, and expressed. The optimal conditions for the highest activity of the purified recombinant XylCg were observed at a temperature of 40 °C and pH of 5.5. Using oat-spelt xylan, the determined K m, V max, and k cat/K m values were 0.243 mg?ml?1, 4,530 U?mg?1 protein, and 7,640 ml?s?1?mg?1, respectively. A homology model and sequence analysis of XylCg, along with the biochemical properties, confirmed that XylCg belongs to the GH11 family. Rice straw pretreated with XylCg showed 30 % higher conversion yield than the rice straw pretreated with a commercial xylanase. Although xylanases have been characterized from fungal and bacterial sources, C. globosum XylCg is distinguished from other xylanases by its high catalytic efficiency and its effectiveness in the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.  相似文献

The fungal root endophytes Chaetomium globosum, Epicoccum nigrum and Piriformospora indica have value as biocontrol and biofertilising organisms in barley, but have not been well tested at low temperatures. This study assessed the efficacy of the endophytes on barley varieties grown under low temperature stress with variable nutrient input. Seed from three cultivars of spring barley were inoculated with one of the three fungal root endophyte isolates – C. globosum, E. nigrum or P. indica - and grown in low temperature under higher and lower nutrient input regimes. Compared with the control, for P.indica-inoculated plants with the higher nutrient input, flowering was earlier and grain dry weight significantly greater for all barley varieties by a mean of 22 %. The nitrogen and carbon content of the grains did not differ significantly between treatments. Chaetomium globosum and Epicoccum nigrum conferred no significant benefits under either nutrient regime. Piriformospora indica is amenable to axenic culture, sporulates readily and can be multiplied rapidly, suggesting that it could be developed as an effective crop treatment in low temperature stressed barley and may have the potential to increase crop yield in colder growing conditions provided that adequate nutrients are supplied.  相似文献

Bifunctional catalase-peroxidases (KatGs) are heme oxidoreductases widely spread among bacteria, archaea and among lower eukaryotes. In fungi, two KatG groups with different localization have evolved, intracellular (KatG1) and extracellular (KatG2) proteins. Here, the cloning, expression analysis and subcellular localization of two novel katG1 genes from the soil fungi Chaetomium globosum and Chaetomium cochliodes are reported. Whereas, the metalloenzyme from Ch. globosum is expressed constitutively, Ch. cochliodes KatG1 reveals a slight increase in expression after induction of oxidative stress by cadmium ions and hydrogen peroxide. The intronless open reading frames of both Sordariomycetes katG1 genes as well as of almost all fungal katG1s possess two peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS1 and PTS2). Peroxisomal localization of intracellular eukaryotic catalase-peroxidases was verified by organelle separation and immunofluorescence microscopy. Co-localization with the peroxisomal enzyme 3-ketoacyl-CoA-thiolase was demonstrated for KatGs from Magnaporthe grisea, Chaetomium globosum and Chaetomium cochliodes. The physiological role of fungal catalase-peroxidases is discussed.  相似文献

Chaetomium globosum, the most common species within this genus, produces chaetoglobosins A and C when cultured on building material. Relatively low levels of these compounds have been shown to be lethal to various tissue culture cell lines. This study had two major objectives: (1) to determine the frequency at which Chaetomium species are isolated in water-damaged buildings and (2) to examine the production of chaetoglobosins A and C in isolates of C. globosum obtained from different buildings. Out of 794 water-damaged buildings, Chaetomium species were isolated in 49% of these structures. C. globosum ATCC 16021 was grown on four different media: oatmeal agar (OA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), corn meal agar (CMA), and malt extract agar (MEA). After 4 weeks, fungal growth was evaluated based on colony diameter and the quantity of spores produced on agar plates. In addition, production of chaetoglobosin A and C was monitored using high performance liquid chromatography. Colony diameter, spore production, and mycotoxin production by C. globosum were the highest on OA. Out of 30 C. globosum isolates cultured on OA for 4 weeks, 16 produced detectable amounts of chaetoglobosin A and every isolate produced chaetoglobosin C.  相似文献

Chaetomium globosum has been well-known potential antagonist of several seed and soilborne fungus. Eight isolates of C. globosum were obtained from different sources and were identified by morphological characters. C. globosum isolates examined for the presence of extra cellular proteins, cellulases and antifungal metabolites in culture filtrate by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. Variation in the mycelial protein of C. globosum isolates was noted in the SDS-PAGE analysis. Different C. globosum isolates that showed more number of bands in protein profile was further screened for the production of cellulases in culture filtrate. Cellulase activity of C. globosum isolates revealed that maximum activity was observed in the isolate Cg-6 after 11?days of incubation, while Cg-2 had least activity. C. globosum isolates were tested for antibiotic production, among which three isolates viz. Cg-6, Cg-7 and Cg-5 were found to produce the antibiotic Chaetoglobosin A in the culture filtrate. The antibiotic Chaetoglobosin A appeared blue colour under UV spectrum with a wavelength of 250?nm.  相似文献

Chaetomium globosum Kunze ex. Fries has been known to produce diverse bioactive metabolites, attracting researchers to exploit the biocontrol agent for plant disease management. However, distinct research gaps are visible regarding detail characterization of bioactive metabolites. Thus the current study has been planned to characterize volatile and nonvolatile compounds of most potential strain of C. globosum 5157. GC–MS analysis of hexane fraction revealed twenty-six volatile organic compounds, representing 65.5% of total components in which 3-octanone (21.4%) was found to be most abundant. UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis of ethyl acetate and methanolic fractions resulted tentative characterization of fifteen and eleven metabolites, respectively. Among these, nine metabolites were isolated, purified and characterized using 1H NMR and High resolution mass spectrometric analysis to delineate mass fragmentation pattern for the first time. Antifungal potential of hexane fraction exhibited high inhibitory action against Sclerotium rolfsii (139.2 μg mL?1) whereas ethyl acetate fraction was highly effective against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (112.1 μg mL?1). Comparative assessment of C. globosum 5157 vis a vis Trichoderma harzianum A28 revealed promising effect of C. globosum 5157 with respect to antifungal properties and plant growth promotion of Brassica seedlings.  相似文献

The fungal endophyte Chaetomium globosum No.04 was isolated from the medicinal plant Ginkgo biloba. The crude extract of the fungus fermentation were active in the agar-diffusion tests against the phytopathogenic fungi Rhizopus stolonifer and Coniothyrium diplodiella. Further bioassay-guided chemical investigation led to the isolation and purification of six alkaloids and three non-targeted compounds from 50 L fermentation of this endophytic fungus and their structures were elucidated as chaetoglobosin A, C, D, E, G, R (1-6), ergosterol, allantoin and uracil, by means of spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1-6 showed significant growth inhibitory activity against R. stolonifer and C. diplodiella at a concentration of 20 μg/disc. We present here, for the first time, the potent antifungal activity of chaetoglobosins from endophytic fungi against two important phytopathogenic fungi R. stolonifer and C. diplodiella.  相似文献

Summary Kinnow-mandarin waste (peel, pulp and seeds) was assessed for single-cell protein (SCP) production byChaetomium globosum andSporotrichum pulverulentum in shake-flask culture. The maximum protein enrichment (32% and 34%) of the substrate was achieved after 5 and 7 days of incubation by the two organisms, respectively. Of various nitrogen sources, NaNO3 and NH4Cl gave maximum protein enrichment of the substrate byC. globosum andS. pulverulentum, respectively.

1,2-Benzenedicarboxaldehyde-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-methyl (flavipin) was found to be antagonistic against nematodes and fungi. Here we demonstrated that flavipin is a potent antioxidant in vitro and in vivo, which has great potential in the therapy for free radical-associated diseases. Therefore, flavipin-producing bio-source was screened from 80 endophytes in Ginkgo biloba. Seven endophytic fungi were able to synthesize antioxidant substances and identified by ITS rDNA sequences. Among them, Chaetomium globosum CDW7 was a remarkable producer of flavipin. The fermentation parameters of CDW7 were then optimized for high flavipin production. Cultured under the optimal condition (25 °C, 100/250 mL flask, 12 discs/flask, 150 rpm, pH 6.5) for 14 days, CDW7 was able to synthesize flavipin at a production of 315.5 mg/L. In addition, flavipin output was positively correlated to antioxidant activities of crude extracts with a correlation coefficient of 0.8235, indicating that flavipin was the major antioxidant component of CDW7's metabolites. These data demonstrated that CDW7 was a highly yielded bio-source of antioxidant flavipin.  相似文献

Approximately 70 % of Aspergillus westerdijkiae strains are able to produce ochratoxin A (OTA), a nephrotoxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin which have been found in cereal and food commodities. Despite of its importance there is, up to now, no information available about which genes are differentially expressed between A. westerdijkiae ochratoxin-producing and non-producing strains. Using cDNA RDA approach we successfully sequenced 231 raw ESTs expected to be enriched in the ochratoxin-producing strain. BLASTX searches against the public databases showed that of these, 205 ESTs (79 %) exhibited significant similarities with proteins of known functions, 28 ESTs (11 %) had matches to hypothetical proteins, and the remaining 27 ESTs (10 %) had no significant hits. EST alignment resulted in a total of 14 non-redundant consensus sequences. Three putative genes encoding oxidoreductases were validated as up-expressed in the OTA producer strain using RT-qPCR approach. The expression of the putative genes encoding a cytochrome P450 family protein, 3-hydroxyphenylacetate-6-hydroxylase, and endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin were higher (32-, 2.8- and 20-fold respectively) in the OTA producer strain compared to the non-producer strain.  相似文献

Objective

We aimed to identify new high-yield dextranase strains and study the catalytic potential of dextranase from the strain in industrial applications.

Results

Dextranase-producing strains were screened from soil samples, and a potential strain was identified as Chaetomium globosum according to its phenotype, biochemical characteristics, and rDNA analysis. Crude dextranase was purified to reach 10.97-fold specific activity and 18.7% recovery. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 53 kDa with an optimum temperature and pH of 60 °C and 5.5, respectively. Enzyme activity was stable at pH 4.0–7.0 and displayed sufficient thermal stability at temperatures?<?50 °C. Mn2+ (10 mM) enhanced dextranase activity by 134.44%. The enzyme was identified as an endodextranase. It displayed very high hydrolytic affinity toward high-molecular weight dextran T2000, reaching 97.9% hydrolysis within 15 min at 2 U/mL.

Conclusion

Collectively, these results suggest that Chaetomium globosum shows higher production and specificity of dextranase than that from other reported strains. These findings may offer new insights into the potential of dextranase in the sugar, medical, and food industries.

The growth of indoor molds and their resulting products (e.g., spores and mycotoxins) can present health hazards for human beings. The efficacy of chlorine dioxide gas as a fumigation treatment for inactivating sick building syndrome-related fungi and their mycotoxins was evaluated. Filter papers (15 per organism) featuring growth of Stachybotrys chartarum, Chaetomium globosum, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Cladosporium cladosporioides were placed in gas chambers containing chlorine dioxide gas at either 500 or 1,000 ppm for 24 h. C. globosum was exposed to the gas both as colonies and as ascospores without asci and perithecia. After treatment, all organisms were tested for colony growth using an agar plating technique. Colonies of S. chartarum were also tested for toxicity using a yeast toxicity assay with a high specificity for trichothecene mycotoxins. Results showed that chlorine dioxide gas at both concentrations completely inactivated all organisms except for C. globosum colonies which were inactivated an average of 89%. More than 99% of ascospores of C. globosum were nonculturable. For all ascospore counts, mean test readings were lower than the controls (P < 0.001), indicating that some ascospores may also have been destroyed. Colonies of S. chartarum were still toxic after treatment. These data show that chlorine dioxide gas can be effective to a degree as a fumigant for the inactivation of certain fungal colonies, that the perithecia of C. globosum can play a slightly protective role for the ascospores and that S. chartarum, while affected by the fumigation treatment, still remains toxic.  相似文献

In order to maximize antioxidant activity of pharmaceutical bioactive endophytic fungus Chaetomium globosum JN711454 during fermentation process, designed fermentation experiments of culture media for three levels of eight culture factors were performed using a Taguchi orthogonal array (OA) design with layout L18 (21 × 37). The agitation and the potato extract were the most significant affecting factors, and their interaction contributed significantly to fungus activity. The production of antioxidants was more favorable for static condition with 25 g potato extract/100 m. The remaining factors had no strong impact when considered individually. The validation of statistically optimized medium indicated the improvement of antioxidant activity to a level of twofold with approximately overall 40% enhancement in activity. The extract of optimized medium was investigated for various pharmaceutical bioactivities; it revealed a moderate antimicrobial activity, strong anticancer activity against HepG-2, UACC62 cell lines, an antiviral activity against HSV-2 virus, and strong inhibitory activity to butyrylcholinesterase enzyme, one of the neurohydrolase enzymes that play a major role in development of Alzheimer’s disease. As a result of applying statistical fermentation designs, the optimized conditions of endophytic fungus C. globosum JN711454 developed a cost-effective production medium by using inexpensive commercial potato extracts statically, which can lower the energy requirement and could become an efficient, economic, and viable fermentation process for production of pharmaceutical secondary metabolites.  相似文献

Chaetomium globosum Kunze:Fr is a dermatophytic, dematiaceous fungus that is ubiquitous in soils, grows readily on cellulolytic materials, and is commonly found on water-damaged building materials. Chlorate affects nitrogen metabolism in fungi and is used to study compatibility among anamorphic fungi by inducing nit mutants. The effect of chlorate toxicity on C. globosum was investigated by amending a modified malt extract agar (MEA), oat agar, and carboxymethyl cellulose agar (CMC) with various levels of potassium chlorate (KClO3). C. globosum perithecia production was almost completely inhibited (90–100?%) at low levels of KClO3 (0.1?mM) in amended MEA. Inhibition of perithecia production was also observed on oat agar and CMC at 1?and 10?mM, respectively. However, hyphal growth in MEA was only inhibited 20?% by 0.1–100?mM KClO3 concentrations. Hyphal growth was never completely inhibited at the highest levels tested (200?mM). Higher levels of KClO3 were needed on gypsum board to inhibit perithecia synthesis. In additional experiments, KClO3 did not inhibit C. globosum, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger, Penicillum expansum, and airborne fungal spore germination. The various fungal spores were not inhibited by KClO3 at 1–100?mM levels. These results suggest that C. globosum perithecia synthesis is more sensitive to chlorate toxicity than are hyphal growth and spore germination. This research provides basic information that furthers our understanding about perithecia formation and may help in developing control methods for fungal growth on building materials.  相似文献
