膏桐饼作为生物柴油产业中产生的最大宗副产物,其高蛋白、低纤维含量的特性有望使其开发成为一种优良的蛋白饲料,但毒性限制了其直接作为饲料利用。发酵是多种饼粕脱毒的常用方法。分离、纯化膏桐根际微生物并分别发酵膏桐饼,用甲醇提取发酵膏桐饼的毒性成分并溶于水中,通过鲤鱼存活时间来评价不同菌株发酵膏桐饼的毒性,筛选获得了一株能够在膏桐饼上快速生长并能有效脱除膏桐饼毒性的短帚霉。脱毒小桐子饼组的小鲤鱼存活时间与对照组相比延长了1.22倍。     

Cloning and Sequencing of an Endoglucanase Gene from Scopulariopsis brevicaulis TOF-1212, and Its Expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The egI gene, encoding a major endoglucanase (EGI) of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis TOF-1212, was cloned and sequenced. The egI gene consisted of 868 bp with one intron and encoded a protein of 229 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 22,392 daltons. The EGI was assigned to a family 45 of glycosyl hydrolases and showed high similarity with other fungal endoglucanases, especially with those of Humicola grisea and Fusarium oxysporum, on the basis of hydrophobic cluster analysis. The egI gene was expressed under the promoter of the phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The transformed cells were able to secrete the enzyme efficiently in an active form.     

Amino acid- or protein-dependent growth of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum

Culture conditions were examined for Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum, which are major pathogens involved in dermatophytosis. They grew well in Sabouraud's dextrose broth or RPMI 1640. Growth in phosphate-buffered yeast nitrogen base supplemented with glucose was very slow, although growth improved significantly with the addition of amino acids or proteins to the medium. The fungi could also grow using human nail fragments as the only source of nutrition. Examination of proteases by substrate gel electrophoresis indicated that distinct sets of proteases are secreted from the dermatophytes in two different media, Sabouraud's dextrose broth and nail fragments. A protease inhibitor, phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, inhibited the growth of the fungi on nail fragments, but it did not inhibit their growth in Sabouraud's dextrose broth.     

Degradation of the main components of cellulose-paint thinner by the mould Scopulariopsis brevicaulis cultured on rice hulls

AIMS: Biodegradation of the main components of the cellulose-paint thinner (toluene, acetone, isopropanol and xylenes) by Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, isolated from a thinner biodegradation microbial consortium was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS: Our results showed that 90% of S. brevicaulis conidia survived after 4 weeks in a cellulose-paint thinner saturated atmosphere. The mould was able to grow under these environmental conditions with a low development of conidia. The biodegradation potential of S. brevicaulis was established with and without support material (rice hulls). Biodegradation without support was very limited, <10% for all the components quantified. There was notable thinner biodegradation when the fungus was grown on rice hulls. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest the potential use of fungi in biofiltration systems employed in biodegradation of the main components of the cellulose-paint thinner. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first report of volatile organic compounds biodegradation by this fungal species.     

A Study on Stability of Phenotype and Genotype of Trichophyton rubrum

Objective: To explore the stability of phenotype and genotype in Trichophyton rubrum. Methods: All the strains were cultured on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar slopes, and identified to species level. Strains isolated recently were subcultured on Sabouraud agar slopes four times at an interval of 4 weeks. DNA was extracted with CTAB method. A probe consisting of 3′ end of 18S rDNA, adjacent ITS1, 5.8S rDNA and ITS2 regions was amplified from template DNA of the T. rubrum standard strain using fungal universal primers NS5 and ITS4, labelled by P³² and hybridized with EcoR I-digested T. rubrum genomic DNA. Results: (1) Four phenotypes were isolated from 207 T. rubrum strains, with downy type (45.4%) in the first place, and granular type not found. After 1 year of conservation, 54 strains showed morphological variations with the total variation rate of 26.1%. (2) Eleven strains showed variations in colony morphology or pigment upon subculture. (3) AP-PCR analysis of 10 T. rubrum isolates and one T. rubrum standard strain showed similar DNA patterns with main bands at 2.2, 1.7, 1.3, 0.9 and 0.7 kb. No changes in DNA pattern were found upon subculture. (4) Hybridization analysis revealed that all the 11 T. rubrum strains presented three bands and were identified into two types (2.4, 3.9, 5.9 kb and 2.4, 4.4, 6.5 kb). No changes in band pattern were found upon subculture. Conclusions: Phenotype of T. rubrum was instable and the colonial morphology and pigment easily changed during conservation or subculture, while its genotype was relatively stable.
