块菌发育过程中伴生微生物多样性及其生态功能

块菌属Tuber是子囊菌门中一类珍贵的地下生外生菌根真菌,能与松科、壳斗科等多种树木形成菌根共生关系,在森林生态系统中扮演着重要的角色。同时,该属的一些种类因其独特的香味而备受国际食用菌市场推崇,具有极高的经济价值。在块菌属漫长的生活史中,菌丝的生长、菌根的形成、子囊果的产生和发育、特殊芳香化合物及活性物质的产生和积累均与其伴生微生物有着密切的关系。近年来,分子生物学技术的发展尤其是高通量测序技术的应用推动了对块菌属子囊果形成和发育机制的研究,为块菌生态学研究提供了有力的工具,使块菌伴生微生物相关研究取得重要突破。本文综述了近5年来国内外对块菌属生长发育过程中伴生细菌、真菌多样性及其生态功能的相关研究,并探讨了其中尚未清楚的问题及今后可能的研究方向,为块菌属生物学的研究及人工栽培奠定基础。

Laccase production at reactor scale by filamentous fungi

Laccases have received much attention from researchers during the past decades due to their broad substrate specificity and to the fact that they use molecular oxygen as the final electron acceptor instead of hydrogen peroxide as used by peroxidases. This makes laccases highly interesting for a wide variety of processes, such as textile dye decolouration, pulp bleaching, effluent detoxification, biosensors and bioremediation.

The successful application of laccases to the above-mentioned processes requires the production of large quantities of enzyme at low cost. Filamentous fungi are able to produce laccases in high amounts, however, an efficient production system at bioreactor scale is still lacking. This is mainly due to the fact that laccase production by wild-type strains of filamentous fungi is linked to secondary metabolism, which implies that the following drawbacks must be overcome: uncontrolled fungal growth, the formation of polysaccharides around mycelia and the secretion of certain compounds (i.e. proteases) that inactivate laccases. This review summarizes the current status of laccase production by wild-type strains of filamentous fungi at the bioreactor scale.     

外生菌根合成过程中外源竞争性真菌及其菌根形态

在温室内,利用松属Pinus、栎属Quercus植物幼苗分别与乳菇属Lactarius、块菌属Tuber中重要食用菌进行菌根合成过程中,发现有9种外源竞争性菌根真菌exogenous competitive mycorrhizal fungi （ECMF）会造成宿主植物污染。形态解剖和分子生物学鉴定结果表明,9种ECMF分属5个属（Amphinema、须腹菌属Rhizopogon、硬皮马勃属Scleroderma、小球孢盘菌属Sphaerosporella、乳牛肝菌属Suillus）5科（阿太菌科Atheliaceae、须腹菌科Rhizopogonaceae、硬皮马勃科Sclerodermataceae、火丝菌科Pyronemataceae、乳牛肝菌科Suillaceae）,其中,造成松树苗污染的主要为Amphinema、Rhizopogon和Suillus属的种类,造成栎树苗污染的主要为Scleroderma属的种类,而Sphaerosporella属的种类既能污染松也能污染栎。同时,对ECMF形成菌根的形态与解剖特征进行了描述,以期为菌根合成过程中ECMF污染的识别与控制提供借鉴。     

The chitosan yield of zygomycetes at their optimum harvesting time

Fungi are a promising alternative source of chitosan. Fungi can be manipulated to give chitosan of more consistent and desired physico-chemical properties compared to chitosan obtained from crustacean sources. Chitosan was extracted from the mycelia of Rhizopus oryzae USDB 0602 at various phases of growth. The growth phase which produced the most extractable chitosan was determined to be the late exponential phase. In contrast to previous work on the screening of chitosan from fungal sources, mycelia of the fungi used in this study were harvested at their late exponential growth phase instead of at a fixed incubation time. The amount of extractable chitosan varied widely among the fungal strains. Gongronella butleri USDB 0201 was found to produce the highest amount of extractable chitosan per ml of substrate, followed by Cunninghamella echinulata and Gongronella butleri USDB 0428. However, in terms of yield of chitosan per unit mycelia mass, C. echinulata was the best strain among all fungi in the experiment. Therefore, besides G. butleri USDB 0201, C. echinulata can also be considered to be used in the commercial production of chitosan.     

ITS序列分析与MALDI-TOF MS质谱技术在丝状真菌鉴定中的应用

丝状真菌常用的鉴定方法为形态方法和基因鉴定方法,前者限于检验人员的知识和技能,后者操作繁琐,费用略昂贵,不适合常规开展。因此,寻找丝状真菌快速鉴定方法势在必行。本文采用VITEK MALDI-TOF MS（基质辅助激光解析电离时间飞行质谱）IVD数据库（3.0版本）对临床分离的254株丝状真菌进行鉴定,并以ITS（internal transcribed spacer 内转录间隔区）序列分析为标准,验证MALDI-TOF MS质谱技术鉴定丝状真菌的准确性。结果表明MALDI-TOF MS质谱技术可以对大部分丝状真菌实现快速、准确的鉴定,其中对毛癣菌属（100%）、毛孢子菌属（100%）、毛霉菌属（100%）、曲霉菌属（96.5%）准确率很高,对犬小孢子菌（75%）、镰刀菌属（50%）、新月弯孢霉（46.2%）准确率较低,对丝状真菌鉴定的总体准确率为86.36%,与ITS测序分析符合率为83.97%。     

Ascomycetes on Polytrichadelphus aristatus (Musci)

Fourteen herbarium specimens of Polytrichadelphus aristatus (Polytrichaceae, Musci) from the northern Andes were found to be colonized by ascomycetes. Thirty fungal specimens are indicated representing nine species and six genera. They belong to the first records of bryophilous fungi of northern South America. Five taxa are proposed as new: the genus Aphanotria, and the species A. paradoxa, Bryochiton macrosporus, Bryorella imitans, and Massarina polytrichadelphi. Most frequently found were Rogellia triseptata with six and Bryochiton macrosporus with five records. Four species develop their ascomata between the photosynthetic leaf lamellae, three are immersed within the abaxial side of the leaf nerve and two grow below the adaxial cuticle. The hypocrealean A. paradoxa, which has huge but almost invisible ascomata, merits special attention. Apart from a pronounced rostrum, these are completely immersed within the leaf nerve but longitudinally orientated occupying a type of microniche hitherto unknown. Hyphae of several species attack the thick-walled stereids of the leaf nerve and strongly contribute to leaf decomposition. Polytrichadelphus aristatus has an assemblage of parasitic ascomycetes quite different from that of P. magellanicus from southern South America.     

木屑添加对刺芹侧耳菌丝共生细菌多样性和群落结构的影响

细菌作为许多真菌的共生菌,能够有效地促进真菌的代谢生长,而细菌多样性及群落结构能够反映真菌的生长和利用营养物质的状况。本研究利用基于细菌16S rRNA 基因V3-V4区的高通量测序技术分析不同木屑用量对刺芹侧耳菌丝共生细菌群落结构和多样性的影响。结果表明: 5组样品共检测细菌25门52纲114目199科406属,主要的优势菌门为变形菌门(35.0%～85.9%)和厚壁菌门(6.5%～38.4%),优势菌属为不动杆菌属(14.8%～71.6%)和假单胞菌属(1.7%～22.3%)。相较于完全培养基,添加木屑能够提高刺芹侧耳菌丝中的细菌多样性,并使其中优势细菌10个门类、9个属类结构发生显著变化。刺芹侧耳菌丝在5 g木屑培养基上的菌丝生长速度最快,菌丝浓密,边缘整齐,长势优于其他几类培养基;假单胞菌属和乳酸菌属丰度及物种多样性在5 g木屑培养基上都具有一定的优势,且假单胞菌属和乳酸菌属丰度与菌丝长势具有显著的正相关性。木屑作为重要碳源之一,对刺芹侧耳生长发育及其共生细菌群落结构和多样性都有显著影响,这为进一步探索木屑及共生细菌对刺芹侧耳生长发育影响的机理研究奠定了基础。     

Vital Fluorochromes as Tracers for Fungal Growth Studies

Eight fluorescent dyes were tested for staining the spores or mycelia of six fungi and for their translocation into new growth when the preloaded spores or mycelia were incubated on agar coated coverslips. The dyes studied were Cellufluor, Nile red, fluorescein diacetate (FDA), carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFDA), chloromethylfluorescein diacetate (CMFDA), aminochloromethyl coumarin (CMAC), and the carbocyanines DiIC₁₈(3) and DiOC₁₈(3). The fungi on which the dyes were tested included Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici, Idriella bolleyi, Pythium oligandrum, Sclerotium cepivorum and Trichoderma. harzianum Most of the fluorochromes gave good initial staining of mycelia or spores; however, FDA fluorescence faded rapidly during excitation, making it impractical for use. Also, the spores and mycelia of B. cinerea and T. harzianum sometimes gave weak fluorescence with Nile red, and the spores and mycelia of I. bolleyi gave unusually weak fluorescence with Cellufluor. There were other variations of staining among the different dye/fungus combinations, but each fungus showed strong fluorescence with at least one dye. Cellufluor, CMFDA, CMAC and, to a lesser extent, CFDA and Nile red, were efficiently translocated into new growth from preloaded spores or mycelia, whereas FDA, DiIC₁₈(3) and DiOC₁₈(3) were not. The extent of translocation ranged from 0.1 to 1.2 mm in germ tubes arising from spores, and from 0.9 to 9.2 mm in mycelia extending from dye-loaded agar blocks. The findings suggest that fluorescent dyes could be used as markers or tracers in studies of fungal growth and differentiation.

Tn<Emphasis Type="Italic">5</Emphasis> transposase-assisted high-efficiency transformation of filamentous fungus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phoma herbarum</Emphasis> YS4108

Conventionally, filamentous fungi are transformed by using conidia or protoplasts as recipients. However, induction of sporulation is difficult in some fungi, and protoplasting is an awing, frequently frustrating, and batch-dependent work. In this study, we established a simple and convenient method to prepare single cells from mycelia without enzymatic protoplasting. As a case study on the pathogenic fungus Phoma herbarum YS4108, the single cells could be directly and highly efficiently transformed with the aid of Tn5 transposase. The optimal electric pulse delivery parameters were 25 muF in capacitance, 0.75 kV (0.2-cm cuvette) in voltage, and 400 Omega in resistance, under which the efficiency of transposase-assisted transformation (TNAT) was enhanced to two to threefold compared to that of non-TNAT method, resulting in >230 transformants/cuvette (10(6) recipients). Further cell wall weakening of the single cells by lytic enzymes and linearization of the plasmid were found to have no effects on transformation efficiency, but vector linearization apparently lowered the background growth. The present study for the first time explained that Tn5 transposase could be used to increase transformation efficiency in filamentous fungi, and the method presented here may be of wide applicability in different studies and may be the first choice when transformation efficiency and convenience are priorities and mycelia have to be used as transformation recipients.

The challenge for identifying the fungi living inside mushrooms: the case of truffle inhabiting mycelia

The Tuber ascomata (truffles) are a microhabitat for bacteria, viruses, and fungi (yeasts and filamentous fungi). In this survey, we tried to develop a method that would make it possible to define the mycobiome of the truffle-inhabiting filamentous fungi using culture independent molecular methods. The nested quantitative Real-Time PCR allowed us to demonstrate that each truffle is home to multiple species of filamentous fungi and that their DNA is present within the healthy ascoma at the ratio of 10^?6 compared to that of the truffle. Probably due to their insignificant presence, Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis of the amplification of ITS amplicons showed only those of the host. Based on the results, the possibilities of being able to detect the fungicolous fungi present in very small amounts within a fungal host are discussed.     

Uronic acid-containing glycopeptides from Fusarium oxysporum: Possible significance as chemotypes

Hot aqueous extraction of mycelia of Fusarium oxysporum, followed by fractionation on an anionic resin column gave glycopeptides FL-2 and FL-3. Methylation analysis and 1D and 2D NMR data demonstrated β-d-Manp units and partial hydrolysis gave -d-GlcpA(1→2)-d-Gal, arising from β-d-Galf-containing groups. Both are chemotaxonomic markers of Fusarium spp. FL-3 contained 2,6-di-O-substituted Manp, as well as 2,6-di-O-substituted Galf units, raising the possibility that the former are main-chain constituents, as well as the expected latter structure. The carbohydrate structures of FL-2 and FL-3 differ from those of previously examined polysaccharides of Fusarium spp., which are in turn all different from each other, so that they can serve as fingerprints. Possible variations in their main-chain structures can occur as well as those of their side-chains.     

Artocarpus (Moraceae)-gall midge pollination mutualism mediated by a male-flower parasitic fungus

A previously undescribed pollination system involving a monoecious tree species, Artocarpus integer (Moraceae), pollinator gall midges, and fungi is reported from a mixed dipterocarp forest in Sarawak, Borneo. The fungus Choanephora sp. (Choanephoraceae, Mucorales, Zygomycetes) infects male inflorescences of A. integer, and gall midges (Contarinia spp., Cecidomyiinae, Diptera) feed on the fungal mycelia and oviposit on the inflorescence. Their larvae also feed on the mycelia and pupate in the inflorescence. The gall midges are also attracted by female inflorescences lacking mycelia, probably due to a floral fragrance similar to that of male inflorescences. Because of the sticky pollen, dominance of Contarinia spp. in flower visitors, and pollen load observed on Contarinia spp. collected on both male and female inflorescences, Artocarpus integer is thought to be pollinated by the gall midges. Although several pathogenic fungi have been reported to have interactions with pollinators, this is the first report on a pollination mutualism in which a fungus plays an indispensable role. The pollination system described here suggests that we should be more aware of the roles fungi can play in pollinations.
