Two morphologically distinct hyphal branching responses by the AM fungus, Glomus intraradices, were stimulated by separated components of carrot root exudate. Complex branching up to the sixth order was induced by compounds most soluble in 35 % methanol, whereas the formation of more lateral branches (second order) was stimulated by compounds most soluble in 70 % methanol. This same 70 % alcohol soluble fraction also stimulated a completely different type of branching pattern in another fungus, Gigaspora gigantea. This pattern consisted of a very periodic distribution of dense clusters of hyphal branches that had a very high degree of complexity. In contrast to exudate components, separated cytosolic components of carrot roots did not stimulate any of the observed hyphal branching patterns. Alcohol-soluble fractions actually inhibited hyphal tip growth of G. gigantea and induced the formation of “recovery” branches that were identical to those induced by an inhibitor found in the exudate of Chard (Beta vulgaris ssp. cicla), a non-host plant. 相似文献

Botrytis cinerea is the causative agent of grey mould on over 1000 plant species and annually causes enormous economic losses worldwide. However, the fungal factors that mediate pathogenesis of the pathogen remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that a novel B. cinerea-specific pathogenicity-associated factor BcHBF1 (h yphal b ranching-related f actor 1), identified from virulence-attenuated mutant M8008 from a B. cinerea T-DNA insertion mutant library, plays an important role in hyphal branching, infection structure formation, sclerotial formation and full virulence of the pathogen. Deletion of BcHBF1 in B. cinerea did not impair radial growth of mycelia, conidiation, conidial germination, osmotic- and oxidative-stress adaptation, as well as cell wall integrity of the ∆Bchbf1 mutant strains. However, loss of BcHBF1 impaired the capability of hyphal branching, appressorium and infection cushion formation, appressorium host penetration and virulence of the pathogen. Moreover, disruption of BcHBF1 altered conidial morphology and dramatically impaired sclerotial formation of the mutant strains. Complementation of BcHBF1 completely rescued all the phenotypic defects of the ∆Bchbf1 mutants. During young hyphal branching, host penetration and early invasive growth of the pathogen, BcHBF1 expression was up-regulated, suggesting that BcHBF1 is required for these processes. Our findings provide novel insights into the fungal factor mediating pathogenesis of the grey mould fungus via regulation of its infection structure formation, host penetration and invasive hyphal branching and growth. 相似文献

Polyamines are known to strongly stimulate hyphal growth in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The effect of the polyamines putrescine,
spermidine and spermine on spore germination, hyphal elongation and branching by the AM fungus Glomus etunicatum was investigated in this study. The effect of spermine on infection and the development of the host and of daughter spores
was further investigated using the dual monoaxenic culture system comprised of Gl. etunicatum fungal cultures in Ri T-DNA transformed carrot hairy roots. Spermidine and spermine showed positive effects on germination
and all three polyamines significantly promoted hyphal growth. Hyphal branching was also strongly stimulated by treatment
with polyamines, such as an increase in the number of branches. Infection during the early stages of the in vitro co-culture
life cycle was enhanced in the presence of spermine, and daughter spores appeared at earlier timepoints compared to the control.
Our results demonstrate that polyamines stimulate germination and hyphal branching in the early stage of AM fungal colonization.
Moreover, results from the investigations conducted in the fungus-root co-culture suggest that polyamines may be involved
in establishing the symbiotic relationship between root and fungus. 相似文献

To study the relation between the number of hyphal tips and protein secretion during growth on a solid substrate, we have constructed two mutant strains of Aspergillus oryzae with increased hyphal branching. We have analysed hydrolytic enzyme activities during growth on wheat kernels (WK) of A. oryzae strains carrying the disrupted allele of the pclA gene encoding a secretion pathway specific (KEX2-like) endo-protease and the disrupted allele of the pg/pi-tp gene encoding a phosphatidylglycerol/phosphatidylinositol transfer protein. The biomass levels produced by the pclA and pg/pi-tp disrupted strains on wheat-based solid media were similar as found for the wild-type strain. However, the pclA disrupted strain showed much more compact colony morphology than the other two strains. Sporulation of the pclA and pg/pi-tp disrupted strains occurred, respectively, 2 days and 1 day later, compared to the wild type during fermentation on ground WK. During surface growth, microscopic analysis revealed that the hyphal growth unit length (L
hgu) of the pclA and pg/pi-tp disrupted strains was, on average, 50 and 74% of that of the wild-type strain. This implies that in both mutant strains, a higher branching frequency occurs than in the wild-type strain. Compared to the wild-type strain, the pclA and pg/pi-tp disrupted strains produced at least 50% more amylase, at least 100% more glucoamylase and at least 90% more protease activity levels after growth on WK. These results support the hypothesis that branching mutants with an increased branching frequency can improve the solid state fermentation process. 相似文献

The effect of solution phosphorus (P) concentration upon growth of pregerminated spores of the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungus Gigaspora margarita was examined in vitro. P at 1 mM significantly inhibited branching of the primary germ tube. The number of branches and the total hyphal length
were both significantly inhibited at 10 mM P. In addition, germinated spores exposed to exudates produced by Ri T-DNA-transformed
roots of Daucus carota L. grown in the presence of P showed significantly less hyphal branching than those exposed to exudates produced by P-stressed
roots. These phenomena could contribute to the observed inhibition of mycorrhiza formation by high P.

Strigolactones (SLs) trigger germination of parasitic plant seeds and hyphal branching of symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. There is extensive structural variation in SLs and plants usually produce blends of different SLs. The structural variation among natural SLs has been shown to impact their biological activity as hyphal branching and parasitic plant seed germination stimulants. In this study, rice root exudates were fractioned by HPLC. The resulting fractions were analyzed by MRM-LC-MS to investigate the presence of SLs and tested using bioassays to assess their Striga hermonthica seed germination and Gigaspora rosea hyphal branching stimulatory activities. A substantial number of active fractions were revealed often with very different effect on seed germination and hyphal branching. Fractions containing (−)−orobanchol and ent-2''-epi-5-deoxystrigol contributed little to the induction of S. hermonthica seed germination but strongly stimulated AM fungal hyphal branching. Three SLs in one fraction, putative methoxy-5-deoxystrigol isomers, had moderate seed germination and hyphal branching inducing activity. Two fractions contained strong germination stimulants but displayed only modest hyphal branching activity. We provide evidence that these stimulants are likely SLs although no SL-representative masses could be detected using MRM-LC-MS. Our results show that seed germination and hyphal branching are induced to very different extents by the various SLs (or other stimulants) present in rice root exudates. We propose that the development of rice varieties with different SL composition is a promising strategy to reduce parasitic plant infestation while maintaining symbiosis with AM fungi. 相似文献

Fungal metabolites active for insects were obtained from fermentation products using okara media. The mechanisms of action of these compounds against insects were clarified using voltage clamp electrophysiology. The branching factor inducing hyphal branching in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was isolated from the root exudates of Lotus japonicus and identified as 5-deoxystrigol. Strigolactones were originally identified as seed germination stimulants of parasitic weeds; therefore, synthetic strigolactones were developed to exhibit the inducing activity of hyphal branching in AM fungi and diminish the stimulating activity of seed germination of parasitic weeds. Signaling molecules, acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), in quorum sensing were identified in the fungal strain Mortierella alpina A-178, and the true producer of AHLs was clarified as symbiotic bacteria in the fungus. Since acyl-(S)-adenosylmethionine analogs may be good candidates for competitive inhibitors of AHL synthases, intermediate mimics in the biosynthesis of AHLs have been synthesized. 相似文献

Strigolactones that are released by plant roots to the rhizosphere are involved in both plant symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal
fungi and in plant infection by root parasitic plants. In this paper, we describe the response of various phytopathogenic
fungi to the synthetic strigolactone GR24. When GR24 was embedded in the growth medium, it inhibited the growth of the root
pathogens Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis, Fusarium solani f. sp. mango, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Macrophomina phaseolina, and of the foliar pathogens Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum acutatum and Botrytis cinerea. In the presence of this synthetic strigolactone, intense branching activity was exhibited by S. sclerotiorum, C. acutatum and F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis. Slightly increased hyphal branching was observed for A. alternata, F. solani f. sp. mango and B. cinerea, whereas suppression of hyphal branching by GR24 was observed in M. phaseolina. These results suggest that strigolactones not only affect mycorrhizal fungi and parasitic plants, but they also have a more
general effect on phytopathogenic fungi. 相似文献

Filamentous actinobacteria from the genus Frankia grow by hyphal tip extension and branching. The growth kinetics and branching pattern of Frankia are not well studied, especially at the early stages of mycelial development. Here, we compare the growth of Frankia sp. strain CcI3 in liquid cultures with and without proteose peptone #3 (PP3) using time-lapse photomicrography and image
analysis. Individual hyphae showed a pseudolinear increase in length at early stages of development, whereas at the mycelial
level, the aggregate length of hyphae described an exponential rate before slowing. Growth based on optical density or microscopic
observations was similar in medium with or without PP3. However, PP3 altered the pattern of mycelial development by increasing
branching. Distances between the hyphal apex and first branches were on average shorter in PP3-containing media. The final
interbranch distances were also shorter in PP3 medium indicating that hyphae tended to branch earlier and more often when
supplemented with PP3 to give a more compact mycelium. Vesicle development in nitrogen-fixing cultures limited cell expansion
as a result of vesicles truncating growth on new branches. The results provide some explanation for the growth kinetics of
Frankia and some indication of how growth rates may be improved. 相似文献

The morphological effects of biotin and L-arginine on fruiting body formation of the ascomycete Sordaria macrospora are investigated by scanning electron and light microscopy. Biotin is recognized as an elongation factor and arginine as a branching factor in vegetative and reproductive hyphae. In the absence of exogenous biotin, development is blocked after the ascogonium-core hypha stage of protoperithecial morphogenesis, whereas linear growth of the myceliar front is maintained. The addition of exogenous arginine to a biotin deficient culture induces the formation of numerous side branches even in the older mycelium. Fruiting body formation, however, remains blocked at the protoperithecial stage as before, because of the inability of the side branches to elongate. When biotin and arginine are administered simultaneously, a most vigorous branching and growth are induced in the older mycelium, accompanied by a rapid and maximal formation of fruiting bodies. The results are summarized in a model of the exogenous control of hyphal morphogenesis. The model is designed to explain the relationship between fruiting and hyphal density as well as the edge effect on fruiting body formation. 相似文献

Streptomyces spp. grow as branching hyphae, building the cell wall in restricted zones at hyphal tips. The organization of this mode of polar growth involves three coiled‐coil proteins: DivIVA and Scy, which form apical protein complexes referred to as polarisomes; and the intermediate filament‐like protein FilP, which influences cell shape and interacts with both Scy and DivIVA. Here, we use live cell imaging of Streptomyces venezuelae to clarify the subcellular localization and dynamics of FilP and its effect on hyphal morphology. By monitoring a FilP‐mCherry fusion protein, we show that FilP accumulates in gradient‐like zones behind the hyphal tips. The apical gradient pattern of FilP localization is dependent on hyphal tip extension and immediately dissipates upon growth arrest. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching experiments show that FilP gradients are dynamic and subject to subunit exchange during vegetative growth. Further, the localization of FilP at hyphal tips is not directly dependent on scy, even though the strongly perturbed morphology of most scy mutant hyphae is associated with mislocalization of FilP. Finally, we find that filP has an effect on the size and position of the foci of key polar growth determinant DivIVA. This effect likely contributes to the phenotype of filP mutants. 相似文献

Growth of a temperature sensitive colonial mutant (cot 1) of Neurospora crassa was compared with a wild type strain. The hyphal growth unit (the ratio between mycelial length and number of branches) of the wild type was not appreciably altered by temperature and there was a direct relationship between the specific growth rate () of these mycelia and their mean hyphal extension rate (E). The specific growth rate of cot 1 increased by about the same relative amount as the wild type between 15° and 30°C. Cot 1 grew and branched normally at 15° and 25°C but at 30°C the hyphal growth unit and mean hyphal extension rate of the mutant mycelia were reduced. Thus, between 15–30°C the ratio, E/ was constant for the wild type but not for cot 1.The effect of temperature and temperature shifts on extension zone length (Z), extension zone expansion time (Z
i
) and branching of leading hyphae of mature colonies were also studies.It is suggested that branching is governed by a mechanism which regulates the linear growth rate of hyphae; the cot 1 mutation may have a direct effect on wall extension or affect linear growth rate indirectly due to an influence on the transport of precursors to the tip. 相似文献

Geotrichum flavo-brunneum Miller, Giddens et Foster shows both basidiomycetous (viz. the presence of urease and the high %G+C of DNA) and ascomycetous (viz. the carbohydrate composition) affinities. The study of the cell-wall ultrastructure, the hyphal branching and the Diazonium Blue B colouration points to a relationship with anamorphs of Ascomycetes. 相似文献

Abstract The flavonoids 5,6,7,8,9-hydroxy chalcone, 3,7-hydroxy-4′methoxy flavone, 5,6,7,8-hydroxy-4′-methoxy flavone and 3,5,6,7,4′-hydroxy flavone can be detected only in non-mycorrhizal roots of white clover, but not in mycorrhizal roots, whereas the flavonoids acacetin, quercetin and rhamnetin are only present in mycorrhizal roots. We tested the effect of several concentrations of these compounds on spore germination, hyphal growth, hyphal branching, formation of clusters of auxiliary cells and of secondary spores of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Gigaspora rosea, Gigaspora margarita, Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices. Our results indicate that depending on the flavonoid, the tested compounds are involved at different stages in the regulation of mycorrhization. This hypothesis is strengthened by their differing effect on several AM fungal growth parameters. Furthermore, our study provides more data on the AM fungus genus/species specificity of flavonoids. 相似文献

Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum is a destructive disease of wheat and barley worldwide. In a previous study of systematic characterization of protein kinase genes in F. graminearum, mutants of three putative components of the osmoregulation MAP kinase pathway were found to have distinct colony morphology and hyphal growth defects on PDA plates. Because the osmoregulation pathway is not known to regulate aerial hyphal growth and branching, in this study we further characterized the functions of the FgHog1 pathway in growth, pathogenesis, and development. The Fghog1, Fgpbs2, and Fgssk2 mutants were all reduced in growth rate, aerial hyphal growth, and hyphal branching angle. These mutants were not only hypersensitive to osmotic stress but also had increased sensitivity to oxidative, cytoplasm membrane, and cell wall stresses. The activation of FgHog1 was blocked in the Fgpbs2 and Fgssk2 mutants, indicating the sequential activation of FgSsk2-FgPbs2-FgHog1 cascade. Interestingly, the FgHog1 MAPK pathway mutants appeared to be sensitive to certain compounds present in PDA. They were female sterile but retained male fertility. We also used the metabolomics profiling approach to identify compatible solutes that were accumulated in the wild type but not in the Fghog1 deletion mutant. Overall, our results indicate that the FgSsk2-FgPbs2-FgHog1 MAPK cascade is important for regulating hyphal growth, branching, plant infection, and hyperosmotic and general stress responses in F. graminearum. 相似文献

Hyphal branches of the primary germ tubes and secondary hyphae of Gigaspora gigantea, Gigaspora rosea, and Glomus intraradices were induced by exposure to light. The photo- induced branching of G. rosea was increased if the germinated spores were first grown in the presence of 10 M quercetin before exposure to light. Further analyses with G. gigantea showed that at low intensity light (13.4 E s-1m-2), maximum branching was achieved after a 6 h exposure and at high intensity light (10,800 E s-1m-2), maximum branching was reached after an 8 min exposure. Multiple exposures to alternating low light followed by a dark incubation period indicated that the photo-effect was not additive. Photo-induced branching did not need a subsequent dark period for the growth of hyphal branches because branching occurred during prolonged continuous light. The light-induced branching appeared to have ecological relevance. Corn seedlings (Zea maize L.) grown in AM fungal inocula exposed to light had a higher percentage of their root system colonized by G. gigantea than those in inocula that remained in the dark. 相似文献

Chitosan is a major structural component of fungal cell walls and has diverse medical and other applications. However, cost‐effective culture and extraction methods for fungi need to be developed. Therefore, Mucor rouxii was grown on YPG‐media in both submerged batch and semi‐continuous cultures. Chitosan was extracted from the mycelia to explore strategies to enhance yields and production rates. As observed in earlier studies, M. rouxii is able to adapt to shear stress when cultured semi‐continuously. Modeling the hyphal growth of batch experiments shows that the mycelia were ruptured by shear forces within a short cultivation time shown by a decreased hyphal length. However, an increasing chitosan content was observed with an increasing cultivation period in semi‐continuous cultures, which is an indication for the adaption to shear stress. Semi‐continuous culture resulted in the highest contents of extractable chitosan. The results and models of hyphal growth, including tip extension and branching, suggest that repeated batch cultures may be optimal for chitosan production. 相似文献

Two bacterial strains (ZJ01 and ZJ02) isolated from the phyllosphere of Chinese jujube were tested for antifungal activities and morphological mechanisms against Phoma destructiva, Alternaria alternata and Fusicoccum spp., three key pathogens of jujube fruits. Based on their physiological characteristics and 16S rDNA gene sequences, both strains were identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The disease incidence of jujube fruits sprayed with the fermentation liquor of ZJ01 and ZJ02 on the puncture wounds before inoculation with the spores of those three key pathogenic fungi was 10% or 66.7%, significantly lower than that of Nutrient Broth medium treatment (100%). These results suggest that strains ZJ01 may be a potential biological control agent for Chinese jujube fruit diseases. The antagonistic bacteria could cause five kinds of hyphal alterations of the causal agents, the maximum number ever observed. Of them, hyphal swelling and excessive branching were the dominant phenomenon, the other three varied with the pathogens. The diverse morphological malformation might be helpful to understand the broad antifungal activity of Bacillus spp.. 相似文献
