A mutant of Sclerotium rolfsii CPC 142 that secretes about two times more filter paper-degrading activity in NM-2 growth medium in submerged cultures than the parent strain was obtained by ultraviolet mutagenesis of crushed sclerotia. The production of endo-β-glucanase in the mutant was affected to a lesser extent. With the parent strain, the addition of 3% rice bran to NM-2 medium was essential for optimal formation of cellulase, including filter paper-degrading activity. However, with the mutant the addition of rice bran to NM-2 medium increased the formation of endo-β-glucanase but not filter paper-degrading or cellobiase activity. An altered control mechanism for the production of filter paper-degrading enzymes is suggested. The genome(s) controlling the cellulase complex of enzymes in the UV-8 mutant is not under coordinate control. 相似文献

Induction of mannanase, xylanase, and cellulase (endoglucanase) synthesis in the plant-pathogenic basidiomycete Sclerotium rolfsii was studied by incubating noninduced, resting mycelia with a number of mono-, oligo-, and polysaccharides. The simultaneous formation of these three endoglycanases could be provoked by several polysaccharides structurally resembling the carbohydrate constituents of lignocellulose (e.g., mannan and cellulose), by various disaccharide catabolites of these lignocellulose constituents (e.g., cellobiose, mannobiose, and xylobiose), or by structurally related disaccharides (e.g., lactose, sophorose, and galactosyl-beta-1,4-mannose), as well as by l-sorbose. Synthesis of mannanase, xylanase, and endoglucanase always occurred concomitantly and could not be separated by selecting an appropriate inducer. Various structurally different inducing carbohydrates promoted the excretion of the same multiple isoforms of endoglycanases, as judged from the similar banding patterns obtained in zymogram analyses of enzyme preparations obtained in response to these different inducers and resolved by analytical isoelectric focusing. Whereas enhanced xylanase and endoglucanase formation is strictly dependent on the presence of suitable inducers, increased levels of mannanase are excreted by S. rolfsii even under noninducing, derepressed conditions, as shown in growth experiments with glucose as the substrate. Significant mannanase formation commenced only when glucose was exhausted from the medium. Under these conditions, only very low, presumably constitutive levels of xylanase and endoglucanase were formed. Although the induction of the three endoglycanases is very closely related in S. rolfsii, it was concluded that there is no common, coordinated regulatory mechanism that controls the synthesis of mannanase, xylanase, and endoglucanase. 相似文献

Growth of and endopolygalacturonase production by Sclerotium rolfsii was better on a defined mineral medium than on a medium containing segments of tomato leaf petioles. The effect of treatment with ethylene (10μl/l) upon endopolygalacturonase activity with investigated at various stages of growth, in a mineral defined medium. Addition of ethylene to a 10 days-old culture of S. rolfsii resulted in a decrease in activity by day 14, whereas the addition of ethylene to a 4, 6 and 8 days old cultures resulted in an increase in endopolygalacturonase activity. Ethylene seems to have little or no stimulating effect upon growth of S. rolfsii when applied after 8 days. However, inhibited fungal growth, after the addition of ethylene at earlier stages of growth, was obtained due to the depletion of oxygen from sealed culture flasks. Endopolygalacturonase was extracted and purified from control cultures after 14 days of growth. Fractionation of this enzyme protein on Sephadex G-100 gel filtration columns resulted in two peaks of activity measured by the release of reducing sugars from polygalacturonic acid (PGA). 相似文献

Scleroglucan production by Sclerotium rolfsii was markedly affected by the C-source concentration, showing a highest value with 150 g sucrose l–1. Production was also influenced by the N-source, being considerably higher in media containing NO3– than in those containing NH4, which had a clear inhibitory effect. Once defined the optimum culture medium composition, the highest exopolysaccharide production (ca. 26 g scleroglucan l–1) was achieved after 72 h of fermentation at shake flask scale. High values of yield (Yp/c = 0.49), productivity (Pr = 0.365 g l–1 h–1) and specific productivity (Pr/x = 0.031 g (g biomass)–1 h–1) were observed, and productivity was 1.5 times further increased by scalling-up to fermenter scale. Addition of L-threonine, sunflower oil and ascorbic acid diminished exopolysaccharide production. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 相似文献

Melanin pigments constituted 13.9% of the chemical composition of the sclerotial walls of Sclerotium rolfsii and was associated with proteins, reducing sugars and amino acids. The lipid and ash contents in the sclerotial walls were double those in the hyphal walls of the fungus. Increasing age of the culture and maturation of the sclerotia were always accompanied by elevation of lipid peroxides and melanin pigments. Such behaviour may indicate that lipid peroxidation and melanin formation are operating in parallel during sclerotial biogenesis and maturation. These two processes depend on the theory of oxidative stress, as affected by growth conditions. Both processes could be stopped or sharply retarded when subjected to some antioxidant growth factors such as vitamins (ascorbic acid), micro-elements (selenium) and sulfhydryl compounds (glutathione). A clear relation between oxidative stress, myceliogenic germination and lytic activity via melanin production was observed. This finding appears promising in applying a new control measure against diseases caused by sclerotia-producing fungi without using traditional toxic fungicides. 相似文献

A culture medium for increased xylanase formation by a wild strain of Sclerotium rolfsii was optimized by applying statistically designed experiments. The optimization process was divided into three basic steps. In the initial phase of screening, two different fractional factorial plans, a Graeco-Latin square design and a folded Plackett-Burman design, were employed. From the list of medium components the relevant variables for xylanase formation (cellulose, peptone, and trace elements) were identified. The second step of optimization used a central composite experimental design to calculate a predictive model. In this phase only the two most important factors, i. e. cellulose and peptone from meat, were considered. The third step of verification validated the results of the optimization. Optimal concentrations of cellulose and peptone were found to be 42.6 and 80.0 g 1–1, respectively. Shaken flask cultivations of S. rolfsii using the optimized medium yielded a maximum xylanase activity of 394 IU ml–1 (6,570 nkat ml–1) within 13 days. Growth on the optimized medium also resulted in elevated levels of other hemicellulolytic enzyme activities including mannanase, -arabinosidase, and acetyl esterase. Especially the value of 155 IU · ml–1 (2,580 nkat ml–1) for mannanase is remarkable since it appears that this is among the highest activities reported for fungal organisms.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Robert M.

Aflatoxins can be produced on a synthetic medium in submerged culture. Glucose, sucrose, or fructose are the preferred carbon sources, and Casamino Acids are the preferred nitrogen source. Ammonia is almost as good a nitrogen source. Zinc is required at levels of at least 0.4 mg per liter. Concentrations of aflatoxin of 60 to 80 mg per liter (as determined by optical-density measurements of a chloroform extract of the unfiltered broth) can readily be obtained in indented shake flasks; somewhat lower yields were obtained in 5-liter fermentors. 相似文献

AIMS: Different cultural conditions for forming and reverting protoplasts were systematically studied to establish a rapid and efficient protocol for Sclerotium rolfsii ATCC 201126. METHODS AND RESULTS: Osmotic stabilizer, lytic enzymes and mycelial age were the main factors influencing protoplast yields. An optimized protocol involving 1-h hydrolysis of 45-h-old mycelium with Trichoderma harzianum enzymes in a 1 : 1 (w/w) biomass : enzyme ratio and 0.6 mol l-1 MgSO4 as osmotic stabilizer was designed to produce approx. 2 x 109 protoplasts per gram biomass dry weight, with 99% viability. Differences on the lytic activity between batches of commercial enzymes were clearly evidenced. Protoplast release was highly efficient showing no remaining cell wall material as witnessed by fluorescent brightener 28. Up to 26% of purified protoplasts developed into the typical filamentous form after 50 h of incubation on 0.6 mol l-1 sucrose agar media. CONCLUSIONS: The methodology herein proposed allowed a rapid, inexpensive and efficient protoplast production. Optimum yields were higher or in the order of that elsewhere reported for other S. rolfsii strains and the required lytic time was significantly shorter. Purified protoplasts successfully reverted to the filamentous morphology. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The present research reports the former protocol for the isolation and reversion of protoplasts in S. rolfsii ATCC 201126 providing key factors to ensure optimum results. In addition, the described procedure constitutes a starting point for downstream genetic manipulation. 相似文献

6-Methylpurine-induced inhibition of sclerotia morphogenesis in Sclerotium rolfsii and its reversal by adenosine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In liquid synthetic medium inoculated with Sclerotium rolfsii (SR), addition of 6-methylpurine (MP, 50g/ml) immediately after inoculation led to approximately 100% reduction in sclerotia production. Adenosine, and to a lesser extent guanosine, each at final concentration of 100g/ml significantly reduced inhibition of sclerotia formation by SR in presence of 50g/ml MP. Uridine and cytidine each at 100g/ml had no such effect. The inhibition of sclerotia morphogenesis could be prevented by addition of 800g/ml of adenosine together with 50g/ml MP. Reversal by adenosine of MP-induced inhibition of sclerotia development was concentration dependent. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of isolated coffee mannan and coffee extract by mannanases of Sclerotium rolfsii 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Different mannanase preparations obtained from the filamentous fungus Sclerotium rolfsii were used for the hydrolysis of coffee mannan, thus reducing significantly the viscosity of coffee extracts. Mannan is the main polysaccharide component of these extracts and is responsible for their high viscosity, which negatively affects the technological processing of instant coffee. Coffee mannan was isolated from green defatted Arabica beans by delignification, acid wash and subsequent alkali extraction with a yield of 12.8%. Additionally, coffee extract polysaccharides were separated by alcohol precipitation and were found to form nearly half of the coffee extract dry weight. These isolated mannans as well as the mannan in the coffee extract were efficiently hydrolysed by the S. rolfsii mannanase, which resulted in significant viscosity reductions. Concurrently, the reducing sugar content increased continuously due to the release of various mannooligosaccharides including mannotetraose, mannotriose, and mannobiose. Both a partially purified, immobilised and a soluble, crude mannanase preparation were successfully employed for the degradation of coffee mannan. 相似文献

The waste mycelium of Penicillium chrysogenum HA-10 (obtained at the end of penicillin fermentation), or a 24-hr-old freshly grown vegetative inoculum of this organism, was found to utilize glucose for the production of calcium gluconate by submerged fermentation in shake flasks. After 72 to 96 hr of fermentation at 24 C, 90 to 95% of the reducing sugar from the 15% glucose medium was converted to calcium gluconate. Reuse of the mycelium for successive experiments reduced the fermentation period to 72 hr or less because of an enhancement of glucose utilization. Ten successive batches of 15% glucose medium were fermented by the reuse method. Fermentation media containing up to 30% glucose could be used, provided boric acid was added to prevent the precipitation of calcium gluconate formed. We found that 30% hydrol (a by-product of glucose manufacture containing 50 to 55% reducing sugar), when used in place of glucose in the fermentation medium, inhibited the rate of glucose utilization. However, this effect was partially reversed by pretreatment of hydrol with 2 to 4% activated charcoal before addition to the fermentation medium. 相似文献

The production of pigment by the molds belonging to the genus Monascus in a submerged culture was examined. The extracellular pigment was mainly studied. Monascus sp. No. 2 was found to be the most potent pigment producer. The optimum cultural conditions were: pH of the medium, 6.5; the temperature, 25°C; carbon sources, glucose or ethyl alcohol; nitrogen sources, polypeptone, yeast extract, monosodium glutamate or casamino acids. Glycine, l-threonine, l-arginine, l-alanine and l-tyrosine were found to be the most effective substances promoting pigment production.Mycelial forms of this strain were correlated with pigment formation in submerged culture. As it grew into pellet type, the yield of pigment was at high level.The Monascus-pigment in the fermentation liquid seemed to be firmly bound to the protein-like substances which made the pigment apparently soluble. 相似文献

The fungus Sclerotium rolfsii produces beta-carotene, the main detected carotenoid, in levels dependent upon oxidative growth conditions and upon differentiation. beta-Carotene accumulation is 5-, 6.5-, and 6.7-fold higher in undifferentiated mycelia, sclerotia, and differentiated mycelia, respectively, at high than at low oxidative stress. It accumulates more in older than in younger mycelia and is 2-fold higher in differentiated than in undifferentiated mycelia. We propose that beta-carotene is formed possibly to help the fungus reduce oxidative stress that develops during growth. This is supported by the finding that exogenous beta-carotene at non-growth-inhibiting concentrations causes a concentration-dependent reduction of oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation) of undifferentiated mycelia, which results in an equally proportional reduction of sclerotial differentiation. The data of this study support our hypothesis that sclerotial differentiation is induced by oxidative stress. 相似文献

Sclerotium rolfsii is one of the most destructive pathogens and thought to affect a broad range of plant hosts. In July 2014, an occurrence of sclerotium rot was observed on bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) in Jinju, South Korea. The rot symptoms were most developed on stems and fruit near the soil line, and infected bitter melon plants withered and eventually died. White mycelial mats with numerous sclerotia were produced on diseased stems and fruit near the soil surface. Based on the morphological characteristics, pathogenicity tests, and DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene region, the causal fungus was identified as S. rolfsii Saccardo. This is the first report of sclerotium rot caused by S. rolfsii on bitter melon in Korea. The recent occurrence of sclerotium rot on bitter melon poses a potential threat to its production in Korea. 相似文献

Bacillus pumilus X-6-9 isolated from soil and subsequently identified, produced xylooligosacchatides with long chainsfrom xylan and accumulated them in the culture. By improving the culture conditions and mutating the bacterium, a 3.2-fold increasein the production of the xylooligosaccharides was established, when compared to the original culture conditions of B. pumilus X-6-19.The addition of D-glucose to the culture of the mutant swain U-3 of B. pumilus X-6-9 repressed the synthesis of β-xylosidase, but notxylanase. Thus, it was revealed that strain U-3 was a good organism for the production and accumulation of xylooligosaccharideswith long chains from xylan by a microbial culture. Xylanase produced by strain U-3 was purified to homogeneity and characterized.The hydrolyzates generated by the purified xylanase contained xylobiose, xylotrinse, xylotewaose, and xylopentaose, but not xylose. 相似文献

Plants evolve a strategy to survive the attacks of potential pathogens by inducing the microbial signal molecules. In this study, plant defence responses were induced in four different varieties of Arachis hypogaea (J‐11, GG‐20, TG‐26 and TPG41) using the fungal components of Sclerotium rolfsii in the form of fungal culture filtrate (FCF) and mycelial cell wall (MCW), and the levels of defence‐related signal molecule salicylic acid (SA), marker enzymes such as peroxidase (POX), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), β‐1,3‐glucanase and lignin were determined. There was a substantial fold increase in POX, PAL, SA, β‐1,3‐glucanase and lignin content in FCF‐ and MCW‐treated plants of all varieties of groundnut when compared to that of control plants. The enzyme activities were much higher in FCF‐treated plants than in MCW‐treated plants. The increase in fold activity of enzymes and signal molecule varied between different varieties. These results indicate that the use of fungal components (FCF and MCW) had successfully induced systemic resistance in the four different varieties of groundnut plants against Sclerotium rolfsii. 相似文献

Lectin of Sclerotium rolfsii: its purification and possible function in fungal-fungal interaction 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The soil-borne plant pathogenic fungus, Sclerotium rolfsii , produces a lectin which is strongly associated with the fungal β-1,3-glucan. The chitin synthetase inhibitors, polyoxin D and nikkomycin decrease the production of β-1,3-glucan by the fungus but increase the titre of the excreted lectin. On the other hand, the competitive inhibitor of glucose, 2-deoxyglucose, decreases the production of both β-1,3-glucan and the lectin. The inhibition of glucan synthesis by polyoxin D was used for separation of the lectin from the glucan. For purification, the fungus was grown in synthetic medium supplemented with 5 × 10−6 mol/l polyoxin D and the crude lectin was puried on a column of Sephadex G-75. SDS-PAGE of the purified lectin showed two protein bands with the molecular weights of 55 000 and 60 000. The location of the lectin on S. rolfsii hyphae and its adsorption to conidia of Tri-choderma were determined by indirect imrnunofluorescence, with antiserum raised against the purified lectin. The possible role of this lectin in S. rolfsii-Trichoderma cell interaction is discussed. 相似文献
