三个发表于国内的丝孢酵母种名分类地位的订正

最新的酵母菌分类系统,丝孢酵母属Trichosporon Behrend仅限于产生节孢子的担子菌酵母的无性型。因此,以前根据该属目的定义在国内发表的三个新种板仓丝孢酵母T.bancangense,北京丝孢酵母T.beijingense和中国丝孢酵母T.sinense的分类地位,需要进行调整。根据26SrDNA/D 1/D2区的序列分析和最新标准方法重新测定的生理生化反应,发现上述三个种名分别是子囊菌酵母Saccharomycopsis fibuligera,Pichia burtonii和Issatchenkia orientalis的异名。

热带假丝酵母产生子囊孢子的条件及单倍体分离的研究

本文研究了诱导热带假丝酵母子囊孢子产生和子囊破壁的条件,以及单倍体分离和鉴别方法.结果表明:NaAc、KCl这两种成分即可满足热带假丝酵母的产孢营养要求,在含有NaAc 8.2 g/L、KCl 1.8 g/L的琼脂培养基中,28℃培养7 d,热带假丝酵母细胞的产孢率可达到47.5%;单纯使用蜗牛酶对破除热带假丝酵母子囊壁的效率甚低,酶解液加入适量的石英砂同时振荡处理4 h左右,可以显著提高对热带假丝酵母子囊破壁速率.用这种方法处理,绝大多数子囊壁均可破除.子囊破壁处理后再以52℃处理10 min杀死残余的营养体细胞,分离物的单倍体孢子比例可由灭活处理前的48%,提高到76%以上.

梗孢酵母属的一个新种

作者于1978年从福建省福州市西湖公园的芒果花中分离出一株酵母1519。该菌株不产生子囊孢子、掷孢子,亦未见到有锁状连合。未发现有性繁殖。无性繁殖是在母细胞上产生小梗,小梗上产生子细胞,子细胞还可再生小梗再生子细胞。如果子细胞不脱落则成链状或分枝的链状。不发酵任何糖。按照形态和繁殖特征只符合Lodder(1970)酵母分类专著中半知菌部分的梗孢酵母。因此将它放入梗孢酵母属,命名为福州梗孢酵母(Sterigmatomyces fuzhouensis sp.n.)。     

假丝酵母属的分类学研究进展

假丝酵母属（CandidaBerkhout）是酵母菌中最大的一个属,现包括200多种,约占目前已知酵母菌总种数的三分之一［1］。由于假丝酵母的经济重要性及其在整个酵母菌中所占的比重,对该属的分类研究作为其他各方面研究的基础,一直是一个颇为活跃的领域。研究手段不断改进,分类系统木断更新。近10多年来该属的定义已经过两次重大修订［2.3］,分子分类学方法在该属的分类学研究中已经由辅助手段变为常用指标。1假丝酵母属的建立及其定义的演变假丝酵母属是Berkhout于1923年建立的［4］。Yarrow和Meyet［2］把球似酵母属（TorutopsisBerlese…

Trichosporon porosum comb. nov., an anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast inhabiting soil,related to the loubieri/laibachii group of species that assimilate hemicelluloses and phenolic compounds

Several isolates representing the genus Trichosporon were collected over a 6-year period from soils in The Netherlands. Based on classical growth tests with carbon and nitrogen compounds these were identical. Three of these (CBS 8396, CBS 8397 and CBS 8522) were subjected to molecular analysis of the D1/D2 region of the large subunit of rDNA. This confirmed that the three strains were identical, yet distinct from other members of the genus. Conspecificity was demonstrated with the type strain (CBS 2040) of Apiotrichum porosum Stautz (1931), with the exception that A. porosum, which had been isolated from exudate of a yew tree, differed morphologically from the soil strains. Based on the identity of DNA base sequences, morphology was not considered to be an adequate parameter to separate otherwise identical strains into two genera. Therefore, the new combination Trichosporon porosum is presented. Based on molecular sequence analysis, T. porosum may be related to T. sporotrichoides, within a weakly related clade that includes species such as Trichosporon laibachii and Trichosporon loubieri. The strains of T. porosum degrade phenolic compounds and hemicelluloses, which are characteristics with potential ecological importance in soil habitats. Characters distinguishing the nine species of the laibachii/loubieri group of species were listed. These include traditionally used tests as well as assimilation patterns of some aliphatic and phenolic compounds. Based on these tests, species such as Trichosporon multisporum and T. laibachii could be separated.     

临床相关毛孢子菌的鉴定及体外药物敏感性研究

目的探讨临床相关毛孢子菌的鉴定方法及对常见抗真菌药物的体外敏感性。方法对48株临床分离的毛孢子菌分别通过形态学、API20C AUX、Vitek 2 Compact及核糖体rDNA ITS序列分析等方法鉴定到种;采用浓度梯度法（E-test）测定氟康唑、伏立康唑、伊曲康唑、两性霉素B及卡泊芬净对48株毛孢子菌的最低抑菌浓度。结果形态学和API20C AUX、Vitek 2 Compact不能准确区分不同种的毛孢子菌,以核糖体rDNA ITS序列分析将48株毛孢子菌鉴定为8个种：阿萨希毛孢子菌,星型毛孢子菌,皮瘤毛孢子菌,真皮毛孢子菌,皮肤毛孢子菌,赖巴克毛孢子菌,T.domesticum,T.jirovecii。体外药敏结果显示：卡泊芬净对毛孢子菌无体外活性,MIC〉32μg/mL;氟康唑和两性霉素B对毛孢子菌活性差,体外活性最好的药物是伏立康唑和伊曲康唑。结论常规方法不易将毛孢子菌准确鉴定到种的水平,ITS序列分析准确快速,可以辅助临床区分难鉴定毛孢子菌。毛孢子菌药敏谱不同于临床常见其他酵母菌,氟康唑和两性霉素B对其活性差,伏立康唑具有良好的体外抗菌活性。

Identification of medically important yeasts by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and D1/D2 region of the large ribosomal subunit

BackgroundThe prevalence of opportunistic yeast infections has increased in recent decades as the result of an increasing immunocompromised patient population.AimsTo evaluate ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequence to identify medically important yeast species, to investigate the performance of both the rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and D1/D2 region in identifying clinically relevant yeasts, and to compare these results with those of a standard phenotypic method.MethodsBoth regions from 50 yeast strains, comprising 45 clinical isolates and 5 reference strains, were amplified using PCR and then sequenced. The sequences were compared to reference data available from the GenBank database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information using the BLASTn tool.ResultsUsing ID32C, 88% (44/50) of all strains were identified accurately at the species level, although 6% were misidentified; two Candida eremophila isolates were identified as Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis, and one Saprochaete clavata isolate was identified as Saprochaete capitata. Two of the four isolates identified by phenotypic methods as Trichosporon asahii were defined so by analyzing the ITS region, but the remaining two were not distinguishable from closely related species. Based on the D1/D2 region, these four isolates had 100% sequence identity with T. asahii, Trichosporon japonicum, and Trichosporon asteroides. The isolate identified as Trichosporon inkin using ID32C could not be distinguished from Trichosporon ovoides by analyzing the ITS and D1/D2 regions.ConclusionsIdentifying medically important yeasts by sequencing the ITS and D1/D2 region is a rapid and reliable alternative to conventional identification methods. For a diagnostic algorithm, we suggest a two-step procedure integrating conventional methods (e.g. microscopic morphology on corn meal agar with Tween® 80 and API ID32C®) and sequence analysis of the ITS and D1/D2 region.     

载有磷酸甘油激酶基因启动子的新表达载体的构建以及在发酵性丝孢酵母中启动外源基因的表达研究

利用简并PCR技术从一株丝孢酵母(Trichosporon sp.)中克隆到磷酸甘油激酶基因的部分序列,然后利用染色体步移的方法克隆到了已知片段的上游序列约950bp。通过启动子序列分析软件分析,发现序列中含有启动子所需的必须元件如TATA BOX和CAAT BOX等,因此确定克隆到的基因片段含有启动子序列。将潮霉素基因置于该启动子下构建了丝孢酵母整合型表达载体pTFPH,并转化发酵性丝孢酵母(Trichosporon fermentans),转化后的酵母能够在含有潮霉素的抗性选择性平板长出,而未进行转化的对照菌株则不能生长。以上试验证明:丝孢酵母的磷酸甘油激酶基因启动子具有启动异源基因在发酵性丝孢酵母中表达的功能,这个结果为油脂酵母工程菌的构建和开发新的酵母表达宿主奠定了基础。     

Trichosporon siamense sp. nov. isolated from insect frass in Thailand

A strain of yeast isolated from insect frass collected in Thailand was found to represent a hitherto undescribed species of a basidiomycetous anamorphic genus Trichosporon. It is described as Trichosporon siamense. In the phylogenetic tree based on the D1/D2 region sequences of 26S rDNA, this yeast constitutes a cluster with several Q-9 having species of Trichosporon including T. otae and T. brassicae but is clearly differentiated from these species by 1.8% or more base substitutions. In the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1 and ITS2), this species differs from T. scarabaeorum, the nearest species, by 6.5% base substitution.     

The HIV aspartyl protease inhibitor ritonavir impairs planktonic growth,biofilm formation and proteolytic activity in Trichosporon spp.

This study evaluated the effect of the protease inhibitor ritonavir (RIT) on Trichosporon asahii and Trichosporon inkin. Susceptibility to RIT was assessed by the broth microdilution assay and the effect of RIT on protease activity was evaluated using azoalbumin as substrate. RIT was tested for its anti-biofilm properties and RIT-treated biofilms were assessed regarding protease activity, ultrastructure and matrix composition. In addition, antifungal susceptibility, surface hydrophobicity and biofilm formation were evaluated after pre-incubation of planktonic cells with RIT for 15 days. RIT (200 μg ml^?1) inhibited Trichosporon growth. RIT (100 μg ml^?1) also reduced protease activity of planktonic and biofilm cells, decreased cell adhesion and biofilm formation, and altered the structure of the biofilm and the protein composition of the biofilm matrix. Pre-incubation with RIT (100 μg ml^?1) increased the susceptibility to amphotericin B, and reduced surface hydrophobicity and cell adhesion. These results highlight the importance of proteases as promising therapeutic targets and reinforce the antifungal potential of protease inhibitors.     

Structural studies of the antigen III cell wall polysaccharide of Trichosporon domesticum

Cell wall and soluble polysaccharides that reacted with Trichosporon domesticum factor III serum were isolated from the type strain of T. domesticum. The fractions contained O-acetyl groups, which contributed to the serological reactivity. The antigenic structure was characterized by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. The polysaccharide has an alpha-(1-->3)-D-mannan backbone with hetero-oligosaccharide side chains consisting of a 2-O-substituted beta-D-glucuronic acid residue bound to O-2 of the mannose residue, beta-D-xylopyranosyl residues located in the middle of the side chain, and a nonreducing terminal alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl residue bound to 0-4 of xylose. The mannan backbone is O-acetylated at O-6 of the mannose residues.
