Mycotoxins produced by seven strains ofPenicillium vulpinum (formerlyPenicillium claviforme) isolated from different sources were studied. The strains were characterized by specific profiles of secondary metabolites
and produced mycotoxins of different structural types. In addition to toxins already known for this fungal species (patulin,
roquefortine, 3,12-dihydroroquefortine, oxalin, viridicatin, cyclopenin, and α-cyclopiazonic acid), the strains studied also
produced indolyl-3-acetic acid, griseofulvin, meleagrin, and cyclopeptin. 相似文献

Production of extracellular catalase by microscopic mycelial fungi (255 strains) belonging to different taxonomic groups was studied. Producers of extracellular catalase were found among fungi of the genera Penicillium, Talaromyces and Aspergillus. Strains of the genus Penicillium were the most active producers. The formation of catalase depended on the initial pH, carbon and nitrogen sources and their ratio, and the content of microelements in the medium. The yield of extracellular catalase produced by the strains selected (P. chrysogenum, P. funiculosum, P. pinophilum, and P. minioluteum) was not less than 400-1400 U per ml culture liquid. 相似文献

Defined strains of the genus Penicillium used as starter cultures for food and strains isolated from mold-fermented foods were analyzed for their ability to inhibit the growth of Micrococcus luteus DSM 348 used as an indicator organism. Most of the strains belonging to the species Penicillium nalgiovense showed antagonistic activity in agar diffusion assays. Penicillium camemberti and Penicillium roqueforti strains proved to be inactive in these tests. The inhibitory substance excreted by P. nalgiovense strains was totally inactivated when treated with beta-lactamase (penicillinase), indicating that a beta-lactam antibiotic is produced by these strains. This observation was verified by PCRs with primer sets specific to the [delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine] synthetase gene (pcbAB), the isopenicillin-N-synthase gene (pcbC), and the acyl coenzyme A:6-aminopenicillanic acid acyltransferase gene (penDE) from Penicillium chrysogenum using chromosomal DNA of the fungal strains as a template. These results indicate that penicillin biosynthesis is a characteristic often found in strains of P. nalgiovense. No specific PCR signal could be identified with DNA from P. camemberti and P. roqueforti. 相似文献

Sixteen strains of Penicillium roqueforti Thom, isolated from blue-molded cheeses, were studied. In vitro, all of these strains produced mycophenolic acid, some on the order of 0.8 to 4 mg/g od dry culture. The greatest yields were obtained after 10 days of incubation of cultures at 15 degrees C. However, under some experimental conditions, mycophenolic acid was not alone responsible for the toxicity of culture extracts to chicken embryos. 相似文献

Sixty two filamentous fungi isolated from paint coatings, wallpaper, carton-gypsum board, and indoor air in buildings were screened for acid activity. It was found that 64.5% of strains produce acids on medium with bromo-cresol purple, where 18% of the strains were distinguished by very high acid activity (acid activity coefficient Q = 1.32–2.83), including the species:Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium expansum, Penicillium brevicom pactum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Stachybotrys chartarum, Mucor globosus, Ulocladium chartarum andAlternaria alternata. Research indicated that filamentous fungi considerably decrease the pH of the medium when that medium containing building material. The greatest acid production and pH decrease of the medium was observed during the growth of filamentous fungi in a medium with mortar, while the production of acids was less in a medium with cartongypsum board, gypsum, and wallpaper. Filamentous fungi produced succinic, oxalic, malic and fumaric acids in the medium with indoor building materials. It was stated that the type of building material affects the spectrum and quantity of organic acids produced by filamentous fungi. 相似文献

Antifungal activity of phenyllactic acid against molds isolated from bakery products 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Phenyllactic acid (PLA) has recently been found in cultures of Lactobacillus plantarum that show antifungal activity in sourdough breads. The fungicidal activity of PLA and growth inhibition by PLA were evaluated by using a microdilution test and 23 fungal strains belonging to 14 species of Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium that were isolated from bakery products, flours, or cereals. Less than 7.5 mg of PLA ml(-1) was required to obtain 90% growth inhibition for all strains, while fungicidal activity against 19 strains was shown by PLA at levels of < or = 10 mg ml(-1). Levels of growth inhibition of 50 to 92.4% were observed for all fungal strains after incubation for 3 days in the presence of 7.5 mg of PLA ml(-1) in buffered medium at pH 4, which is a condition more similar to those in real food systems. Under these experimental conditions PLA caused an unpredictable delaying effect that was more than 2 days long for 12 strains, including some mycotoxigenic strains of Penicillium verrucosum and Penicillium citrinum and a strain of Penicillium roqueforti (the most widespread contaminant of bakery products); a growth delay of about 2 days was observed for seven other strains. The effect of pH on the inhibitory activity of PLA and the combined effects of the major organic acids produced by lactic acid bacteria isolated from sourdough bread (PLA, lactic acid, and acetic acid) were also investigated. The ability of PLA to act as a fungicide and delay the growth of a variety of fungal contaminants provides new perspectives for possibly using this natural antimicrobial compound to control fungal contaminants and extend the shelf lives of foods and/or feedstuffs. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to isolate fungi able to produce pigments. Fifty strains were isolated from the Amazon soil by the conventional technique of serial dilution. Submerged fermentation was performed in Czapeck broth in order to select strains able to synthesise pigments. Five strains were able to produce pigments and were identified by sequencing the rDNA (ITS regions). These fungi were identified as Penicillium sclerotiorum 2AV2, Penicillium sclerotiorum 2AV6, Aspergillus calidoustus 4BV13, Penicillium citrinum 2AV18 and Penicillium purpurogenum 2BV41. P. sclerotiorum 2AV2 produced intensely coloured pigments and were therefore selected for chemical characterisation. NMR identified the pigment as sclerotiorin. In this work, the influence of nutrients on sclerotiorin yield was also studied and it was verified that rhamnose and peptone increased production when used separately. These results indicate that Amazonian fungi bioprospecting is a viable means to search for new sources of natural dyes. 相似文献

Cellulases from two Penicillium sp. strains isolated from subtropical forest soil: production and characterization 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AIMS: To isolate new fungal strains from subtropical soils and to identify those that produce high cellulase activity. To select microbial strains producing thermostable cellulases with potential application in industry. METHODS AND RESULTS: The new strains Penicillium sp. CR-316 and Penicillium sp. CR-313 have been identified and selected because they secreted a high level of cellulase in media supplemented with rice straw. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focussing and zymography showed that the studied strains secreted multiple enzymes that hydrolyse cellulose. Cellulase activity of Penicillium sp. CR-316, the strain showing higher production, was analysed. Optimum temperature and pH of carboxymethyl cellulase activity were 65 degrees C and pH 4.5, respectively. Activity remained stable after incubation at 60 degrees C and pH 4.5 for 3 h. CONCLUSIONS: Fungal strains that secrete high levels of cellulase activity have been characterized and selected from soil. The isolated strains have complex sets of enzymes for cellulose degradation. Crude cellulase produced by Penicillium sp. CR-316 showed activity and stability at high temperature. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Two fungal strains with biotechnological potential have been isolated. The strains secrete high levels of cellulase, and one of them, Penicillium sp. CR-316, produces a thermostable cellulase, that makes it a good candidate for industrial applications. 相似文献

Isolation,Identification and Screening of Manganese Solubilizing Fungi From Low-Grade Manganese Ore Deposits 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present investigation reports the isolation, molecular identification and screening of manganese (Mn) solubilizing fungal strains from low-grade Mn mine tailings. Six morphologically distinct Mn solubilizing fungal strains were isolated on MnO2-supplemented agar plates with Mn concentration of 0.1% (w/v). The biochemical characterization of the isolated fungal strains was carried out. The molecular identification by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing identified the strains as Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium sp., Penicillium sp., Penicillium daleae and Penicillium sp. with GenBank accession numbers KP309809, KP309810, KP309811, KP309812, KP309813 and KP309814, respectively. The ability of the isolated fungal strains to tolerate and solubilize Mn was investigated by subculturing them on Mn-supplemented plates with concentration ranging from 0.1 to 0.5% (w/v). Mn solubilizing ability of the fungal isolates is possibly due to the mycelia production of biogenerated organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, maleic acid and gluconic acid as revealed by ion chromatography. Our investigation signifies the role of fungi in biotransformation of insoluble Mn oxide. 相似文献

Several penicillin-producing fungi were examined for ability to produce 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and penicillin acylase. 6-APA was found in corn steep liquor fermentations of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Aspergillus ochraceous, and three strains of Penicillium sp. 6-APA was not detected in fermentations of Epidermophyton floccosum although penicillins were produced. 6-APA formed a large part of the total antibiotic production of T. mentagrophytes. The types of penicillins produced by various fungi were identified by paper chromatography, and it was found that all cultures produced benzylpenicillin. T. mentagrophytes and A. ochraceous showed increased yields of benzylpenicillin and the formation of phenoxymethylpenicillin in response to the addition to the fermentation medium of phenylacetic acid and phenoxyacetic acid, respectively. Washed mycelia of the three Penicillium spp. and two high penicillin-yielding strains of P. chrysogenum possessed penicillin acylase activity against phenoxymethylpenicillin. A. ochraceous, T. mentagrophytes, E. floccosum, and Cephalosporium sp. also had penicillin acylase activity against phenoxymethylpenicillin. Only two of the above fungi, T. mentagrophytes and E. floccosum, showed significant penicillin acylase activity against benzylpenicillin; in both cases it was very low. The acylase activity of A. ochraceous was considerably increased by culturing in the presence of phenoxyacetic acid. It is concluded that 6-APA frequently but not invariably accompanies the formation of penicillin, and that penicillin acylase activity against phenoxymethylpenicillin is present in all penicillin-producing fungi. 相似文献

Twenty-five strains of Penicillium spp. isolated from mould-infected discoloured outdoor softwood were analysed for mycotoxin production. Patulin was found to be produced by Penicillium expansion at 4° and 20°C incubation when cultured on wood blocks and wood chips. One strain of P. nordicum (not wood-associated) produced ochratoxin A when cultured on wood chips. 相似文献

Among some 38 strains of the genus Penicillium we investigated seven wild-type strains (P. daleae IFO-6087, P. frequentans AHU-8328, P. funiculosum IAM-7013, P. janthinellum IFO-8070, IAM-7026, P. lividum IAM-7200, and P. oxalicum AHU-8336) that were found to be excellent strains for a new type of acid carboxypeptidase production in a surface koji culture at 25 C. The production of acid carboxypeptidase was determined in various culture conditions in a koji culture. The maximum yields of acid carboxypeptidase were obtained by P. janthinellum IFO-8070. Partial purification and isolation of the acid carboxypeptidase from strains of Penicillium were performed with gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-100. Characterization studies indicate that the acid carboxypeptidases from P. daleae IFO-6087, P. funiculosum IAM-7013, P. janthinellum IFO-8070, and P. oxalicum AHU-8336 have some properties similar to those of the enzyme of Aspergillus saitoi with regard to the hydrolysis of several peptides at acidic pH range but have other slightly different properties with regard to stability, pH optima, inhibitors, and molecular weights. 相似文献

A large number of Penicillium nalgiovense strains were found to be as good penicillin producers on optimal production media as strains of Penicillium chrysogenum. It is not known whether penicillin can be produced on fermented sausages, but selection for non-penicillin producing fermenting strains of P. nalgiovense is suggested. 相似文献

In this study, 4 Penicillium species (17 strains) were classified on the basis of metabolite profile (chemotaxonomy) by using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization ion trap-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS), gas chromatography-ion trap-mass spectrometry (GC-IT-MS) and multivariate statistical analysis. The LC-ESI-MS-based dendrogram was similar to the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-based dendrogram, in that Penicillium oxalicum was separated from the other 3 species. Moreover, vermiculidiol, meleagrin, oxaline, glandicolin A and B, and secalonic acid D were identified as metabolites that enable discrimination of Penicillium species by partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Evaluation of the species-specific metabolites produced by P. expansum, P. echinulatum, and P. solitum revealed that the 3 species differed from each other. On the other hand, GC-IT-MS-based dendrogram revealed that P. expansum was clearly classified separately from the other 3 species, and this result correlated with the antioxidant activity of the 4 species: P. expansum had a higher radical scavenging activity than the other 3 species. The metabolites produced in higher amounts in P. expansum were gluconic acid (12, 29, 33); andrastin A (16), B (15), and C (17); chaetoglobosin C (14), a class of sugar (31, 32); and salicylic acid (28). The results of this study demonstrated that metabolite-based chemotaxonomy could be used not only as a classification method but also as a tool for evaluation of species-specific activities. 相似文献

Summary The synthesis of 2-heptanone from the sodium salt of octanoic acid by spores of five strains ofPenicillium roqueforti was studied. The strains showed a high disparity in kinetic behavior. The one selected, which was originally isolated from blue cheese, had a good resistance to substrate inhibition along with a good apparent biotransformation yield (close to 60%). An activator was needed in the incubation medium. The loss of activity of aging spores was reduced by the activator compounds; ethanol exhibited the highest efficiency. When spores were produced on buckwheat seeds with a solid state fermentation technique, the medium itself was an activator source. When the biotransformation reaction was carried out in a stirred aerated fermentor, the volatile loss by air-stream stripping had to be taken into account. No ketone metabolism occurred with the strain used. 相似文献

The phenylacetic acid (PA) transport system was studied in two industrial strains of Penicillium chrysogenum (M223 and H1107) and the effect of different PA analogues was established. In both strains the uptake capacity was enhanced when the cells were grown in medium containing palm oil (1.6% v/v). PA analogues containing hydroxy groups or halogen atom (chloro or fluoro) attached to the aromatic ring strongly inhibited the uptake, strain M223 being more sensitive to PA analogue inhibition.
