The metabolism of sorbic acid (trans-2,trans-4-hexadienoic acid) and its related compounds by Mucor sp. A-73 was investigated. Sorbic acid was reduced by this fungus to trans-4-hexenol (more than 90% yield). In a series of hexamonoenoic acids, carboxyl groups and α,β-double bond were reduced, but β,γand γ,δ double bonds were hardly reduced. The reduction of cis-2-hexenoic acid was slower than that of the corresponding trans isomer. Sorbic alcohol, one of α,β-unsaturated alcohols, was converted well to trans-4-hexenol by the fungus. These results showed that this fungus could carry out two independent reductions: (i) carboxyl group→alcohol, (ii) α,β-unsaturated alcohol→αβ-saturated one. Furthermore, α,β-unsaturated alcohols were temporarily detected in the course of fungal reductions of some α,β-unsaturated acids. The fact suggested that the reduction of α,β-unsaturated acids to α,β-saturated alcohols was initiated by the reaction (i) and followed by (ii). The biological hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated alcohols is a new reaction. 相似文献

The role of an endophytic Zygomycete Mucor sp. in growth promotion and adaptation of the photosynthetic apparatus to increased energy demands of its hosts Arabidopsis arenosa and Arabidopsis thaliana was evaluated. Inoculation with the fungus improved the water use efficiency of the plants and allowed for them to utilize incident light for photochemistry more effectively by upregulating the expression of several photosystem I‐ and II‐related genes and their respective proteins, proteins involved in light harvesting in PSII and PSI and carbon assimilation. This effect was independent of the ability of the plants to acquire nutrients from the soil. We hypothesize that the accelerated growth of the symbiotic plants resulted from an increase in their demand for carbohydrates and carbohydrate turnover (sink strength) that triggered a simultaneous upregulation of carbon assimilation. Arabidopsis plants inoculated with Mucor sp. exhibited upregulated expression in several genes encoding proteins involved in carbohydrate catabolism, sugar transport, and smaller starch grains that indicate a significant upregulation of carbohydrate metabolism. 相似文献

Wilt of tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici and wilt of brinjal caused by Fusarium solani are very common in different agricultural fields of West Bengal, India. The study on the effect of salicylic acid (SA) on in vitro growth of the pathogens revealed that SA completely checks the growth at 0.7 mM concentration and above. On the other hand, the percentage of mycorrhisation in the host plants with an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus fasciculatum was found to be decreased in the presence of SA in the plants with or without pathogenic infection. Treatment of tomato and brinjal plants either singly with AM fungus or with SA (0.5 and 1.0 mM) and also with their combined treatment showed amelioration of plant height, length of root, fresh weight of root and fresh weight of plants. However, the AM fungus-treated plants showed highest growth responses. The result also reveals that integrated treatment with AM plus SA has significant effect on reduction of infection where application of AM + SA (1.0 mM) resulted in 67.16 and 69.70% reduction of fusarial wilt infection in tomato and brinjal plants, respectively. 相似文献

Hymenoic acid, isolated from cultures of the fungus, Hymenochaetaceae sp., is a specific inhibitor of DNA polymerase λ. The first synthesis of (S)-(+)-hymenoic acid was achieved by starting from trans-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and methyl (R)-(?)-3-hydroxyisobutyrate, and Julia–Kocienski olefination was employed as the key step. 相似文献

Diastereoselective hydroxylation and reduction of derivatised tetrahydrofurans by
Beauveria bassiana
The filamentous fungus, Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159, catalyses the regio- and diastereoselective biohydroxylation of trans-2-methyl-5-benzyloxymethyl-tetrahydrofuran to the cis-3-hydroxy derivative. When incubated with cis-2-methyl-3-keto-5-benzyloxymethyltetrahydrofuran, the same fungus performs a reduction to give the cis- and trans-alcohols in a 4:1 ratio. 相似文献

Multiple phytohormones and phytoalexins are involved in disease resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae invaded from roots in rice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most devastating diseases of rice worldwide. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) is a key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway, which leads to the biosynthesis of defense‐related phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) and flavonoid‐type phytoalexins sakuranetin and naringenin. However, the roles and biochemical features of individual rice PALs in defense responses to pathogens remain unclear. Here, we report that rice OsPAL06, which can catalyze the formation of trans‐cinnamate using l ‐phenylalanine, is involved in rice root–M. oryzae interaction. OsPAL06‐knockout mutant showed increased susceptibility to M. oryzae invaded from roots and developed typical leaf blast symptoms, accompanied by nearly complete disappearance of sakuranetin and naringenin and a two‐third reduction of the SA level in roots. This mutant also showed compensatively induced expression of chalcone synthase, which is involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, isochorismate synthase 1, which is putatively involved in SA synthesis via another pathway, reduced jasmonate content and increased ethylene content. These results suggest that OsPAL06 is a positive regulator in preventing M. oryzae infection from roots. It may regulate defense by promoting both phytoalexin accumulation and SA signaling that synergistically and antagonistically interacts with jasmonate‐ and ethylene‐dependent signaling, respectively. 相似文献

Summary The aspartic protease gene of a zygomycete fungus Mucor pusillus was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of the yeast GAL7 promoter. A putative preproenzyme with an NH2-terminal extension of 66 amino acids directed by the gene was processed in yeast cells and the mature enzyme, whose NH2-terminus was identical to that of the Mucor enzyme, was efficiently secreted into the medium at a concentration exceeding 150 mg/l. The enzyme secreted from the recombinant yeast was more glycosylated than the native Mucor enzyme but its enzymatic properties were almost identical with those of the native enzyme, which has been used as a milk coagulant in cheese manufacture. 相似文献

Many microorganisms isolated from fish viscera formed trans fatty acids. One of them was identified as Cladosporium sphaerospermum. This is the first report of a fungus forming trans fatty acids. Several bacteria, identified as Pseudomonas sp., Pseudomonas putida, Marinomonas sp., and Schewanelia putrefaciens, also formed frans-octadecenoic acids, which increased on growth at high temperature or with phenol. The trans-octadecenoic acids comprised a mixture of various double bond-positional isomers, such as Δ8, Δ9, Δ10, Δ11, and Δ12. 相似文献

The mechanism of action of potassium sorbate, a widely used food preservative on the lipid composition of the Ascomycete fungus Penicillium roqueforti, the main contaminant of cheese, was investigated. The inhibition of fungal growth by potassium sorbate was found to be associated
with a change in the composition of phospholipids (a decrease in phosphatidylcholine content and an increase in phosphatidylethanolamine
and phosphatidic acid content) and of neutral lipids (a decrease in the triacylglycerol and sterol content and an increase
in the free fatty acid content). The fatty acid composition of fungal lipids also changed. A drastic decrease in the linoleic
acid content occurred both in the total lipid fraction and in the triacylglycerol and total phospholipid fractions, whereas
the oleic acid content increased correspondingly. This suggests that sorbic acid (SA) affects Δ12 desaturase activity, which
controls the adaptive response of mycelial fungi to deleterious environmental factors. 相似文献

Mucormycosis (Zygomycosis) is a rare, invasive, opportunistic fungal infection of the paranasal sinuses, caused by a fungus
of the order Mucorales. We report a case of rhinoorbital mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus
oryzae in an acute lymphoblastic leukemia patient and review the 79 Mucormycosis cases reported in the last decade from Turkey.
In our case, the diagnosis was made with endoscopic appearance, computerized tomography of the paranasal sinuses, and culture
of the surgical materials. Following aggressive surgical debridement and parenteral amphotericin B therapy, the patient recovered
completely. In Turkish literature, rhinocerebral manifestations were the most common form of the mucormycosis (64 cases),
followed by pulmonary form (6 cases). The most common risk factor was hematologic malignancies (32 cases) and diabetes mellitus
(32 cases), similar to those reported from the rest of the world. The etiologic agents responsible for the review cases were
Rhizopus sp., Mucor spp., Rhizomucor spp., Rhizopus
oryzae, Mucor
circinelloides, and Lichtheimia corymbifera. Although various treatment modalities were used, amphotericin B was the mainstay of therapy. Mortality rate was found to
be 49.4% in review cases. It seems that strong clinical suspicion and early diagnosis, along with aggressive antifungal therapy
and endoscopic sinus surgery, have great importance for better prognosis in mucormycosis. 相似文献

Groundnut samples from 21 selected markets in the 10 regions of Ghana yielded high levels of the aflatoxigenic fungus Aspergillus flavus on half-strength potato dextrose agar. The fungus was associated with 31.7 and 12.8%, respectively, of all damaged and undamaged kernels assayed. Only 0.24% of total kernels assayed yielded A. parasiticus. Other fungi detected from total kernels assayed were A. niger (34%), A. candidus (1.45%), A. tamarii (3.93%), A. ochraceous (5.26%), Fusarium spp. (1.7%) Penicillium spp. (5.19%), a Mucor sp. (2.3%), a Trichoderma sp. (0.2%), Rhizopus stolonifer (12%) and certain unidentifiable fungi (11.72%). Total aflatoxin levels ranging from 5.7 to 22, 168 ppb were identified with damaged kernel samples. The mycotoxin was not detected in 50% of undamaged kernel samples tested and very low levels mostly ranging from 0.1 to 12.2 ppb were associated with the undamaged samples that tested positive for aflatoxins. In a novel in vitro microbial assay to determine the effectiveness of certain plant extracts against aflatoxin synthesis, extracts from Xylopia aethiopica, Monodera myristica, Cinnamomum verum and Piper nigrum permitted fungal growth in 1.5% potato-dextrose broth while completely suppressing NOR formation. These extracts, however, could not suppress NOR formation in a yeast extract sucrose medium. 相似文献

Nineteen filamentous fungi, isolated from estuarine sediments in Brazil, were screened for degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The fungal isolates were incubated with pyrene. The cultures were extracted and metabolites in the extracts were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and u.v. spectral analyses. Six fungi were selected for further studies using [4,5,9,10-14C]pyrene. Cyclothyrium sp., Penicillium simplicissimum, Psilocybe sp., and a sterile mycelium demonstrated the ability to transform pyrene. Cyclothyrium sp. was the most efficient fungus, transforming 48% of pyrene to pyrene trans-4,5-dihydrodiol, pyrene-1,6-quinone, pyrene-1,8-quinone and 1-hydroxypyrene. This fungus was also evaluated with a synthetic mixture of PAH. After 192 h of incubation, Cyclothyrium sp. was able to degrade simultaneously 70, 74, 59 and 38% of phenanthrene, pyrene, anthracene and benzo[a]pyrene, respectively. 相似文献

A strain JX23 was isolated from soil and identified as a species of Mucor according to the morphological characteristics and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer sequence and designated
as Mucor sp. JX23. Biotransformations of cinnamaldehyde (CMD), cinnamic acid (CMA) and acetophenone (ACP) catalyzed by JX23 were investigated.
After JX23 was cultured for 48 h, the substrates CMD, CMA and ACP were added to the growth medium respectively and the products
were analyzed by GC–MS and HPLC. Mucor sp. JX23 exhibited considerable redox capability and different catalytic specificity to CMD, CMA and ACP. CMD was selectively
hydrogenated to cinnamyl alcohol. CMA was biotransformed to ACP with α, β-oxidation like degradation, and ACP could not be
reduced further by JX23. When ACP was added as substrate, it could be asymmetrically reduced to (S)-(−)-1-phenylethyl alcohol (S-PEA) with high stereoselectivity (90%). Further, the biotransformations of different binary mixture substrates with JX23
were also studied. The biocatalytic selectivity depended on the relationship between the binary mixtures in above-mentioned
reaction. 相似文献

A combination of NADHP and hispidin is not essential for bioluminescence in luminous fungal living gills of Mycena chlorophos 下载免费PDF全文
Katsunori Teranishi 《Luminescence》2017,32(5):866-872
The chemical mechanisms underlying visible bioluminescence in the fungus Mycena chlorophos are not clear. A combination of dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and hispidin, which has been reported to increase the intensity of in vitro luminescence in crude cold‐water extracts prepared from the bioluminescent fruiting bodies of M. chlorophos, exhibited potential bioluminescence activation in the early bioluminescence stages, in which the bioluminescence was ultra‐weak, for living gills and luminescence activation for non‐bioluminescent gills, which was collapsed by freezing and subsequent thawing, at all bioluminescence stages. These abilities were not evident in considerably bioluminescent gills. These abilities were blocked by trans‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid and trans‐3,4‐dihydroxycinnamic acid, which were identified as in vivo bioluminescence‐activating components. Original bioluminescence and bioluminescence produced from the addition of trans‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid and trans‐3,4‐dihydroxycinnamic acid in living gills were almost completely inhibited by 10 mM NaN3, whereas the luminescence produced form the combination of NADPH and hispidin in thawed non‐bioluminescent and living gills at the early weak bioluminescence stages was not inhibited by 10 mM NaN3. Thus, the combination of NADPH and hispidin plays different roles in luminescence systems compared with essential bioluminescence systems, and the combination of NADPH and hispidin was not essential for visible bioluminescence in living gills. 相似文献

Three Zygomycetes, Mortierella isabellina, Thamnidium elegans and Mucor sp., were tested for their ability of producing biomass and lipid‐containing γ‐linolenic acid (GLA) during their cultivation on cheese whey. M. isabellina consumed all of the available lactose and a significant amount of the available protein. On the contrary, the two other fungi seemed incapable of consuming lactose after protein exhaustion. In the second series of experiments, for M. isabellina a supplementary quantity of lactose was added into the medium in order to increase the C/N ratio and hence to increase the production of fat. In the case of T. elegans and Mucor sp., a supplementary quantity of ammonium sulfate was added in order to favor the consumption of lactose and the production of biomass. Indeed, enhancement of lipid production was observed for M. isabellina and biomass production for T. elegans and Mucor sp.. Fatty acid analysis of the microbial lipid showed a composition that presented non‐negligible changes in relation with the age of the culture and the C/N molar ratio of the medium. Further analysis of the fat showed that the quantity of neutral lipids was the more abundant. The fatty acid composition of neutral lipids resembled to that of total lipids. Phospholipids were the more unsaturated fraction for Mucor sp. and M. isabellina. GLA was synthesized in all trials but its concentration presented differences related with the utilized strains and the fermentation time. Growth of M. isabellina on lactose‐supplemented whey resulted in a maximum GLA production of 301 mg/L. 相似文献

Three new isocoumarin derivatives, mucorisocoumarins A–C ( 1 – 3 , resp.), together with seven known compounds, 4 – 10 , were isolated from the cold‐adapted fungal strain Mucor sp. (No. XJ07027‐5). The structures of the new compounds were identified by detailed IR, MS, and 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR analyses. It was noteworthy that compounds 1, 2, 4 , and 5 were successfully resolved by chiral HPLC, indicating that 1 – 7 should exist as enantiomers. In an embryonic developmental toxicity assay using a zebrafish model, compound 3 produced developmental abnormalities in the zebrafish embryos. This is the first report of isocoumarins with developmental toxicity to zebrafish embryos. 相似文献

Four known hydroxyanthraquinones ( 1–4 ) together with four new derivatives having a tetralone moiety, namely coniothyrinones A–D ( 5–8 ), were isolated from the culture of Coniothyrium sp., an endophytic fungus isolated from Salsola oppostifolia from Gomera in the Canary Islands. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis and comparison with reported data. The absolute configurations of coniothyrinones A ( 5 ), B ( 6 ), and D ( 8 ) were determined by TDDFT calculations of CD spectra, allowing the determination of the absolute configuration of coniothyrinone C ( 7 ) as well. Coniothyrinones A ( 5 ), B ( 6 ), and D ( 8 ) could be used as ECD reference compounds in the determination of absolute configuration for related tetralone derivatives. This is the first report of anthraquinones and derivatives from an isolate of the genus Coniothyrium sp. These compounds showed inhibitory effects against the fungus Microbotryum violaceum, the alga Chlorella fusca, and the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus megaterium.

A phenanthrene-assimilating bacterium which belongs to the genus Aeromonas was isolated from soil. The cells which adapted to phenanthrene required a growth lag time on a naphthalene medium. The cells oxidized l-hydroxy-2-naphthoate (1H2NA), 2-carboxybenzaldehyde (2CBAL), o-phthalate (OPA) and protocatechuate (PCA) but did not oxidize salicylaldehyde (SAL), salicylate (SA) and catechol (CAT) which are intermediates in naphthalene catabolism. Using the cell-free extract, the same results were obtained in oxidative capacity. The intact cells metabolized 1H2NA and 2CBAL without the lag time, giving 2CBAL and PCA, respectively. The ammonium sulfate-treated extract prepared from the cells grown in phenanthrene medium, converted 1H2NA to 2CBAL and 2CBAL to OPA. It was suggested that the Aeromonas sp. degraded phenanthrene through OPA. 相似文献

A novel cold-tolerant fungus, Fibulorhizoctonia psychrophila, was isolated from a refrigerated carrot storage facility and identified as an anamorph of Athelia, often classified in Rhizoctonia s.l. Growth of this fungus was observed between 0 and 20°C with an optimum at 9–12°C, while incubation of mycelium grown at
15–32°C resulted in absence of growth even after the fungus was transferred back to 15°C. Growth was inhibited in the presence
of the antifungals sorbic acid or natamycin, in particular when the fungus was incubated at 18°C. F. psychrophila produces polysaccharide degrading enzymes that, when compared to enzymes from the ascomycete fungus Aspergillus niger, retain a larger proportion of their activity at lower temperatures. This indicates that F. psychrophila could be used as a source for novel industrial enzymes that are active at 4–15°C. 相似文献

The most representative bacterium (Pseudonocardia sp.) and fungus (Fusarium sp.) from the microbial communities of a cave containing paleolithic paintings were isolated and their growth on natural
substrates assessed. Growth was tested at the in situ and optimal, laboratory growth temperature. Development was analyzed
with and without supplemented nutrients (glucose, ammonium, phosphate, peptone). Results showed that the assayed bacterium
on natural substrate was able to develop best at in situ temperature and the addition of organic nutrients and/or phosphate
enhanced its growth. The growth of the assayed fungus, however, was limited by low temperature and the availability of ammonium.
These results confirm a differential behavior of microorganisms between the laboratory and the natural environments and could
explain previous invasion of fungi reported for some caves with prehistoric paintings. 相似文献
