A 4(20),11(12)-taxadiene derivative was converted to hydroxylated derivatives by Cunninghamella elegans AS3.2033 and Cunninghamella elegans var chibaensis ATCC 20230. Both microorganisms led to C-1 hydroxylations and conversion to a C-15-hydroxylated abeo-taxane. Additional products from the two fungi differed: a C-14 oxidation and a trans-cis isomerization of the cinnamoyl for one and an unprecedented hydroxylation at C-17 for the other. 相似文献

Loratadine is a selective inverse agonist of peripheral histamine H1-receptors. Microbial biotransformation gained a lot of attention for its ability to convert molecules to valuable medicinally active substances. The main objective of the present research was to investigate the ability of different fungi to biotransform the drug loratadine to its active metabolite desloratadine, because desloratadine is four times more potent, possess longer duration of action than loratadine and is effective at low doses. The screening studies were performed with selected fungi using their respective broth media and sterile incubation conditions. The drug and metabolites formed (if any) were extracted and analysed using HPLC analysis. Structural elucidation and confirmation of metabolites were by mass and proton NMR spectroscopy. Among the six fungi selected, Cunninghamella elegans, Cunninghamella echinulata and Aspergillus niger cultures showed extra peaks at 3.8, 3.6 and 4.1 min, respectively, in HPLC when compared with their controls, which indicated the formation of metabolites. The metabolites thus formed were isolated and their structures were confirmed as dihydroxy desloratadine, desethoxy loratadine and 3-hydroxy desloratadine by Cunninghamella elegans, Cunninghamella echinulata and Aspergillus niger cultures, respectively, by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Three fungi were identified to have the ability to biotransform loratadine to its active metabolite and other different metabolites. 相似文献

Transformation reactions on 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene using free fungal cells were compared with those carried out by macerated mycelia, immobilized in calcium alginate beads. Six fungi were utilized in this study, namely Rhizopus oryzae ATCC 11145, Mucor plumbeus ATCC 4740, Cunninghamella echinulata var. elegans ATCC 8688a, Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142, Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725 and Whetzelinia sclerotiorum ATCC 18687. The results show, for the first time, that encapsulated mycelial fragments essentially carry out the same bioconversions as those observed with growing cells. As the immobilized cells were "resting", the products formed were free of contamination by natural products, and this greatly aided the purification of the metabolites. Conditions for bead preparation were optimized. Furthermore, it was noted that the beads could be reused, once they had been subjected to a rejuvenation process. 相似文献

Thirty-two fungal species were isolated from a polluted watercourse near the Talkha fertilizer plant, Mansoura Province, Egypt. Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Cunninghamella echinulata and Trichoderma koningii were isolated frequently. On the basis of its frequency, Cunninghamella echinulata was chosen for biosorption studies. Free and immobilized biomass of C. echinulata sequestered ions in this decreasing sequence is: Pb >Cu >Zn. The effects of biomass concentration, pH and time of contact were investigated. The level of ion uptake rose with increasing biomass. The maximum uptake for lead (45 mg/g), copper (20 mg/g) and zinc (18.8 mg/g) occurred at 200 mg/L biomass. The uptake rose with increasing pH up to 4 in the case of Pb and 5 in the case of Cu and Zn. Maximum uptake for all metals was achieved after 15 min. Ion uptake followed the Langmuir adsorption model, permitting the calculation of maximum uptake and affinity coefficients. Treatment of C. echinulata biomass with NaOH improved biosorbent capacity, as did immobilization with alginate. Immobilized biomass could be regenerated readily by treatment with dilute HCl. The biomass-alginate complex efficiently removed Pb, Zn and Cu from polluted water samples. Therefore,Cunninghamella echinulata could be employed either in free or immobilized form as a biosorbent of metal ions in waste water. 相似文献

Fungal biotransformations of alpha-santonin (1) were conducted with Mucor plumbeus (ATCC 4740), Cunninghamella bainieri (ATCC 9244), Cunninghamella echinulata (ATCC 9245), Curvularia lunata (ATCC 12017) and Rhizopus stolonifer (ATCC 10404). Rhizopus stolonifer (ATCC 10404) metabolized compound 1 to afford 3,4-epoxy-alpha-santonin (2) and 4,5-dihydro-alpha-santonin (3) while Cunninghamella bainieri (ATCC 9244), Cunninghamella echinulata (ATCC 9245) and Mucor plumbeus (ATCC 4740) were capable of metabolizing compound 1 to give a reported metabolite, 1,2-dihydro-alpha-santonin (4). The structures of these transformed metabolites were established with the aid of extensive spectroscopic studies. These fungi regiospecifically reduced the carbon-carbon double bond in ring A of alpha-santonin. 相似文献

Aim: The biotransformation of pentoxifylline (PTX), propentofylline (PPT) and their racemic hydroxy metabolites ((±)-OHPTX and (±)-OHPPT) by using the fungus Cunninghamella echinulata NRRL 1384.
Methods and Results: A fungus Cunninghamella echinulata NRRL 1384 was used to catalyse the ( S )-selective oxidation of the racemic hydroxy metabolites: (±)-OHPTX and (±)-OHPPT and for reduction of PTX and PPT. The first oxidation step appears to be selective and relatively fast while the second reduction step is slower and more selective with PTX. Modifications involving supplementing the bioconversion with glucose give yields and enantiomeric excess (ee) values similar to those obtained without glucose.
Conclusions: The bioconversion of (±)-OHPTX gave an ( R )-enantiomer (LSF-lisofylline) with a higher enantiopurity (maximum approximately 93% ee) compared to the bioconversion of (±)-OHPPT, when the maximum ee value for ( R )-OHPPT was recorded at 83%.
Significance and Impact of the Study: The conversion of (±)-OHPTX and (±)-OHPPT using Cunninghamella echinulata can be recognized as a process, which may be recommended as an alternative to the methods used to obtain ( R )-OHPTX and ( R )-OHPPT. 相似文献

Stemodane and stemarane diterpenes isolated from the plant Stemodia maritima and their dimethylcarbamate derivatives were fed to growing cultures of the fungi Cunninghamella echinulata var. elegans ATCC 8688a and Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725. C. echinulata transformed stemodin (1) to its 7alpha-hydroxy- (2), 7beta-hydroxy- (3) and 3beta-hydroxy- (4) analogues. 2alpha-(N,N-Dimethylcarbamoxy)-13-hydroxystemodane (6) gave 2alpha-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoxy)-6alpha,13-dihydroxystemodane (7) and 2alpha-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoxy)-7alpha,13-dihydroxystemodane (8). Stemodinone (9) yielded 14-hydroxy-(10) and 7beta-hydroxy- (11) congeners along with 1, 2 and 3. Stemarin (13) was converted to the hitherto unreported 6alpha,13-dihydroxystemaran-19-oic acid (18). 19-(N,N-Dimethylcarbamoxy)-13-hydroxystemarane (14) yielded 13-hydroxystemaran-19-oic acid (17) along with the two metabolites: 19-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoxy)-2beta,13-dihydroxystemarane (15) and 19-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoxy)-2beta,8,13-trihydroxystemarane (16). P. chrysosporium converted 1 into 3, 4 and 2alpha,11beta,13-trihydroxystemodane (5). The dimethylcarbamate (6) was not transformed by this microorganism. Stemodinone (9) was hydroxylated at C-19 to give 12. Both stemarin (13) and its dimethylcarbamate (14) were recovered unchanged after incubation with Phanerochaete. 相似文献

Phenelzine and pheniprazine were used as substrates for metabolic studies with Cunninghamella echinulata and Mycobacterium smegmatis. Metabolites were identified by means of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. 1-Acetyl-2-(2-phenylethyl)-hydrazine and 1-acetyl-2-(1-methyl-2-phenylethyl)hydrazine were the major products of C. echinulata metabolism of phenelzine and pheniprazine, respectively. In addition, M. smegmatis produced a second metabolite from each substrate; these metabolites were unequivocally identified as N-acetylphenylethylamine and N-acetylamphetamine from phenelzine and pheniprazine, respectively. 相似文献

Increasing the pH from 5 to 9 decreased the toxicity of mercuric chloride, zinc sulfate, lead nitrate, copper sulfate and
nickel chloride toward the growth ofAspergillus flavus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Cunninghamella echinulata, Myrothecium verrucaria andPhoma humicola. On the other hand, the toxicity of cadmium chloride was increased by the increasing pH. Also increasing the concentration
of organic matter (peptone and yeast extract) from 0.5 to 1.5% induced a significant reduction in the toxicity of all heavy
metals toward the growth of all test fungi. 相似文献

多年前分离自湖北神农架林中采回的一份土样的一株小克银汉霉Cu137最近经我们研究定名为复轮生暗孢小克银汉霉新变种(Cunninghamella phaeospora Boedijn var.multiverticillata var. nov.)。它与暗孢小克银汉霉原变种(Cunninghamella phaeospora Boedijnvar. phaeospora)的异同在于:(1)两者均具有单轴分枝、分枝单生或成对的孢子枝,不同的是新变种的孢子枝除单轴分枝外还可轮状分枝,或单轴与轮状混合分枝,轮状分枝可多达3轮,每轮由3-8分枝组成,原变种则完全不形成轮状分枝;(2)两者的孢子枝主轴上的顶生泡囊均具各种形状并略呈棱角状,但新变种的侧枝上的饱囊常常是棒形的,原变种的侧枝上的饱囊则很少棒形;(3)新变种的假根很发达,可自菌丝、匍匐菌丝、孢子枝、泡囊等部位发生,而原变种的假根一般不很发达,而且只从菌丝或甸旬菌丝发生;(4)两者的小型孢子囊在形状、大小、刺等方面一致,但新变种的小型孢子囊无色至淡褐色,原变种的小型孢子囊则为淡褐色至深褐色;(5)新变种的菌落白色,至多在老后污白色至极浅的淡褐色,原变种的菌落自始即为深灰色。除暗孢小克银汉霉原变种外,同属中还有另外三个分类群与复轮生暗孢小克银汉霉较为接近:印度小克银汉霉(Cunninghamella indica Baijal & B. S. Mehrotra)与印度刺孢小克银汉霉[Cunninghamella echinulata(Thaxt.) Thaxt. ex Blakeslee var. indica Baijal & B. S. Mehrotra]因菌落白色及孢子枝分枝棒形,轮生小克银汉霉(Cunninghamella verticillaata Paine)因孢子枝具数轮轮生分枝而与复轮生暗孢小克银汉霉这个新变种有一定的相似。但是,新变种无论是顶生泡囊还是侧生泡囊的直径都较上述三个分类群小得多;新变种的顶生饱囊往往不规则形状且略带棱角,而上述三个分类群则不是这样。还有,新变种的孢子枝分枝方式与印度小克银汉霉的颇为不同,新变种的小型孢子囊比印度刺孢小克银汉霉的小得多,其小型孢子囊主要球形至近球形,与轮生小克银汉霉的椭圆形至卵形也不一样。此外,新变种的假根系统极其发达,与同属中任何一种均不相同。将复轮生暗孢小克银汉霉新变种Cu137(+)与暗孢小克银汉霉原变种的一株分离自香港山边土壤的Cu 136(一)配合时只形成配子囊,但与原变种的模式菌株CBS 692.68(-)配合时则可形成少量的接合孢子囊。为了获得更多的接合孢子囊以观察它们是否可育的,我们将Cu 137和CBS 692.68同时接种到许多培养皿上,然后制片观察。用姆指轻轻、重复压盖玻片,可使接合孢子囊破裂以观察其内含物。结果,从100个以上的接合孢子囊中,仅在其中4个发现有接合孢子的形成,其余的都是空的和不育的。由于原变种尚未发现(+)配合型菌株,新变种则未发现(-)配合型菌株,原变种与原变种之间及新变种与新变种之间配合形成的有性型尚未获得,而且全世界均未见有报道,无法和新变种与原变种之间配合形成的有性型相比较,因此目前尚不能肯定新变种与原变种之间形成的有性型在形态上是否能代表这个种的有性型。但是,尽管如此,暗孢小克银汉霉的这两个变种之间配合形成的有性型的形态仍然是很有特征性的,足以把它与其它种的已知有性型相区别。 相似文献

Preliminary data on the polysaccharide composition of mycelium of the submerged grown fungus Cunninghamella japonica (synonymous with C. echinulata) were obtained. Mild acid hydrolysis of the mycelium led to formation of glucose, mannose and galactose, whereas acid treatment under drastic conditions afforded glucosamine as the hydrolysis product of chitin and chitosan, the summary content of both glucosaminoglycans being estimated as about 35%. Sequential treatment of the mycelium with hot water, 2% aqueous NaOH and 10% AcOH gave rise to several polysaccharide fractions, which were characterized by their monosaccharide composition. The yield ofchitosan extracted by AcOH was negligible. Additional purification of the fraction obtained by the action of alkali afforded a polysaccharide preparation, which was shown to be a linear (1-->3)-alpha-D-glucopyranan according to the data of chemical methods of structural analysis and NMR spectroscopy. It was concluded that Cunninghamella japonica differs from several other known representatives of Mucorales by the presence of this alpha-D-glucan, as well as by low content of chitosan and polyuronides. 相似文献

Foster BC Wilson DL Marwood T Ethier JC Zamecnik J 《Canadian journal of microbiology》1996,42(8):851-854
The biotransformation of 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylarnphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) was examined in the fungus Cunninghamella echinulata. In addition to the reported mammalian metabolites (MDA, 3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl methyl ketoxime, 3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl methyl ketone) and the parent substrate, there were six novel metabolites detected. N-Acetyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (NAcMDA) was unequivocally identified and three unidentified metabolites related to NAcMDA were also detected. N-Acetyl-3,4-methylenedioxy-1-phenyl-1-hydroxy-2-aminopropane was tentatively identified as a metabolite of MDMA. The only metabolite of MDA identified was NAcMDA. Two metabolites related to MDA remain unidentified.Key words: Cunninghamella, amphetamine, biotransformation, 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine. 相似文献

The toxigenicity of representatives of 15 species of Mucorales (Absidia glauca, Actinomucor elegans, Cunninghamella elegans, Helicostylum piriforme, Mortierella isabellina, Mortierella (Mucor) rammaniana, Mucor hiemalis, Mucor mucedo, Mucor spinosus, Phycomyces blakesleeanus, Rhizopus oligosporus, Rhizopus stolonifer, Syncephalastrum racemosum, Thamnidium elegans, Zygorhynchus moelleri) towards the larvae of brine shrimp (Artemia salina) and the growth of pea seedlings (Pisum sativum) and tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) was evaluated. The fungi were cultivated on malt extract agar and aqueous solutions of the cultures were tested.Thamnidium elegans showed a marked toxic action towards brine shrimp (mortality: 74.1%) andPhycomyces, Actinomucor andSyncephalastrum were only weakly toxic. Length and weight of stems of pea seedlings were moderately reduced by extracts ofAbsidia, Cunninghamella, Zygorhynchus andThamnidium and to a lesser degree byMucor spinosus. Cunninghamella andMucor spinosus also inhibited the development of pea hypocotyls. The length of tobacco stems was reduced byMortierella ramanniana, Rhizopus stolonifer andCunninghamella elegans. Wilting or other toxic phenomena were never observed with both test plants. Considering the present results and data from literature it is suggested that species of Mucorales have only a weak toxigenicity. 相似文献

Repression of reserve lipid turnover in Cunninghamella echinulata and Mortierella isabellina cultivated in multiple-limited media 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
AIMS: To study patterns of reserve lipid biosynthesis and turnover (degradation) in two oleaginous Zygomycetes, namely Cunninghamella echinulata and Mortierella isabellina under various growth conditions. Fatty acid composition of the reserve lipid of both strains was also studied in all growth steps. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cunninghamella echinulata and Mortierella isabellina were grown in carbon-excess batch cultures. In the investigated strains, accumulation of reserve lipid occurred only when the activity of both NAD(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) and NADP(+)-ICDH were not detectable in the cell-free extract. Specifically, in C. echinulata, NAD(+)-ICDH activity was detected even after depletion of ammonium nitrogen in the medium, resulting in a delay of the initiation of lipid accumulation period. On the contrary, in M. isabellina, lipid accumulation occurred simultaneously with ammonium nitrogen exhaustion in the growth medium, as the activity of both NAD(+)- and NADP(+)-ICDH were not detectable after nitrogen depletion. In C. echinulata reserve lipid was not degraded after glucose had been exhausted. Supplementations of the medium with Fe(3+), yeast extract or Mg(2+) induced, however, reserve lipid breakdown and formation of lipid-free material. In M. isabellina after glucose exhaustion, notable lipid degradation occurred, accompanied by a significant lipid-free material biosynthesis. Nevertheless, in multiple-limited media, in which Mg(2+) or yeast extract, besides carbon and nitrogen, were limiting nutrients, reserve lipid breakdown was repressed. In both strains, the quantity of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in the reserve lipids [varying between 9 and 16% (w/w) in C. echinulata and 1.5-4.5% (w/w) in M. isabellina] was proportional to lipid-free biomass. CONCLUSIONS: Lipid accumulation period in Zygomycetes is initiated by the attenuation of ICDH activity in the mycelium while the regulation of ICDH from ammonium nitrogen is strain specific. While a single nitrogen limitation was enough to induce lipid accumulation, however, multiple limitations were needed in order to repress lipid turnover in oleaginous Zygomycetes. As for GLA, its biosynthesis in the mycelium seemed proportional to lipid-free biomass synthesis. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Several nutrients are indispensable for functioning the mechanisms involved in the mobilization of reserve lipid in oleaginous moulds. Therefore, reserve lipid turnover in oleaginous moulds could be repressed in multiple-limited media. 相似文献

The present investigation presents evidence that rhizoferrin, a novel polycarboxylate or complexone-type siderophore, originally isolated from Rhizopus microsporus, represents the common siderophore within the Zygomycetes. Thus, rhizoferrin could be detected by HPLC analysis in various families of the Mucorales, e.g., Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis, Mucor mucedo and Phycomyces nitens (Mucoraceae), Chaetostylum fresenii and Cokeromyces recurvatus (Thamnidiaceae), Cunninghamella elegans and Mycotypha africana (Choanephoraceae) and Mortierella vinacea (Mortierellaceae) and in Basidiobolus microsporus (Entomophthorales). The function of rhizoferrin as a siderophore in the fungus R. microsporus var. rhizopodiformis was demonstrated by time- and concentration-dependent uptake of [55Fe]-labelled rhizoferrin, yielding saturation kinetics with values of Km = 8 microM and V(max) = 1.2 nmol min-1 (mg dry wt)-1. 相似文献

Hydroxylations of Biphenyl by Fungi 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
R. V. SMITH P. J. DAVIS A. M. CLARK S. GLOVER-MILTON 《Journal of applied microbiology》1980,49(1):65-73
Sixty-six species of fungi were screened for their ability to hydroxylate biphenyl. Thin-layer and gas chromatographic analyses indicated that seven organisms actively hydroxylated this substrate. Of particular interest were Cunninghamella echinulata ATCC 9244 which produced 4-hydroxybiphenyl as the major metabolite, Helicostylum piriforme QM 6945 which produced exclusively 2-hydroxybiphehyl, and Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC 15517 which produced a good yield of 4, 4'-dihydroxybiphenyl. These results were confirmed by isolation of the phenolic metabolites following preparative-scale conversions and comparisons of the isolated phenols with authentic reference materials. 相似文献

The new variety of Actinomucor elegans var. kuwaitiensis, isolated from an open necrotic wound of a diabetic patient is described. This strain differed from the two previously described varieties of A. elegans, A. elegans var. elegans and A. elegans var. meitauzae by nearly 1% or more sequence divergence within D1/D2 regions of 28S rRNA and the ITS region of rRNA genes. Like the other two varieties, no zygospores were observed, however, there was evidence suggesting intersexual diploidy, a feature not described previously in this species. Additionally, A. elegans var. kuwaitiensis was pathogenic to white mice causing 100% mortality within 5 days. 相似文献
