定点突变提高土曲霉Aspergillus terreus脂肪酶的催化活性

本研究旨在利用理性设计的方法来提高来源于土曲霉Aspergillus terreus的酸性脂肪酶ATL的催化活力。通过同源比对,选择脂肪酶盖子区域和底物结合口袋域中的位点进行定点突变,得到8种ATL的突变脂肪酶。结果发现,盖子区域突变酶ATLLid与底物结合口袋域突变酶ATLV218W的催化活性显著提高。ATLLid和ATLV218W对底物对硝基苯酚月桂酸酯p-nitrophenyl laurate(p-NPL)的催化活性最高,k_(cat)值较ATL分别提高了39.37倍和50.79倍,k_(cat)/K_m值较ATL分别提高了2.85倍和8.48倍。与ATL相比,ATLLid和ATLV218W的热稳定性略有下降,最适p H为5.0,p H 4.0–8.0具有较好的稳定性,说明突变未对ATL的嗜酸耐酸特性产生影响。通过同源建模模拟及分子对接技术分析底物p-NPL与酶分子间的相互作用,解析了ATLLid和ATLV218W催化活性提高的机理。

杂色曲霉在人胃液中体外培养产生杂色曲霉素的研究

本文用正交实验设计法探讨了杂色曲霉(Aspergillus versicolr)在加有两类不同性质营养物的人胃液中产生杂色曲霉素(Sterigmatocystin,简称ST)的条件。发现在26℃斜面静置培养12天后可产生ST。加入半合成物质的最佳配伍是:蔗糖1,000.0mg;蛋白胨50.0mg;KH_2PO_4 7.5mg;MgSO_4·7H_2O_2.5mg;人胃液10.0ml,称之为SPKM人胃液培养基。加入天然物质的最佳配伍是:玉米粉0.5g;豆腐粉0.25g,人胃液10.0ml,称之为CS人胃液培养基。还进一步研究了pH值和培养时间对杂色曲霉产毒菌株在SPKM和CS人胃液培养基中生长及产生ST的影响。根据临床胃酸缺乏程度分级标准,分为pH 1.0,3.0,6.5,8.0四个组。发现在两种人胃液培养基中,无论是杂色曲霉生长,还是产生ST,pH3.0到6.5是发生质变的范围。在两种人胃液培养基pH为6.5时,37℃静置培养8天有痕量ST产生,10天后就明显增加。所以杂色曲霉产生的ST可能是慢性萎缩性胃炎易癌变的原因之一。

Antimicrobial Butyrolactone I Derivatives from the Ecuadorian Soil Fungus Aspergillus terreus Thorn. var terreus

Summary The fungus Aspergillus terreus Thorn var. terreus isolated from an Ecuador soil sample was cultured in liquid and solid media and yielded three main metabolites identified as terreic acid (1), butyrolactone I (2) and lovastatin (3). The natural products as well as three synthetic butyrolactone I derivatives were assessed for antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi as well as for seed germination and seedling growth. Furthermore, the compounds were assessed as inhibitors towards the enzymes acetylcholinesterase, β-glucosidase, and β-glucuronidase. Terreic acid, butyrolactone I, butyrolactone 4′,4′′-diacetate (2.1), and 3′-(3-methylbutyl)-butyrolactone II (2.2) were active towards the phytopathogenic bacteria Erwinia carotovora with IC₅₀ of 5 and 4–18 μg/ml, respectively. Under the same experimental conditions, the IC₅₀ of streptomycin was 1.9 μg/ml. 3′-(3-Methylbutyl)-butyrolactone II was moderately active against Pseudomonas syringae and Botrytis cinerea with IC₅₀ of 21μg/ml and MIC of 15.6 μg/ml, respectively. Butyrolactone I also inhibited germination of the dicot Lactuca sativa with an IC₅₀ of 5 × 10⁻⁵ M. The IC₅₀ of reference herbicide acetochlor was 1 × 10⁻⁵ M. The effect of 2.2 and 2.3, known as butyrolactone III on Panicum millaceum germination and growth was stronger than that of 2 and 2.1. Reduction of the double bond in the isoprenyl side chain of butyrolactone I increased the antibacterial effect against E. carotovora as well as acetylation. To our best knowledge, this is the first report on the antibacterial effect of butyrolactone derivatives towards Erwinia carotovora and the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The butyrolactone I derivative 2.2 presented a moderate inhibitory effect against the enzyme acetylcholinesterase with an IC₅₀ of 47 μg/ml. Under the same experimental conditions, the reference inhibitor galanthamine had an IC₅₀ of 3 μg/ml.

ENHANCEMENT OF INVERTASE PRODUCTION BY Aspergillus niger OZ-3 USING LOW-INTENSITY STATIC MAGNETIC FIELDS

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of low-intensity static magnetic fields (SMFs) on invertase activity and growth on different newly identified molds. The most positive effect of SMFs on invertase activity and growth was observed for Aspergillus niger OZ-3. The submerged production of invertase was performed with the spores obtained at the different exposure times (120, 144, 168, and 196 hr) and magnetic field intensities (0.45, 3, 5, 7, and 9 mT). The normal magnetic field of the laboratory was assayed as 0.45 mT (control). Optimization of magnetic field intensity and exposure time significantly increased biomass production and invertase activity compared to 0.45 mT. The maximum invertase activity (51.14 U/mL) and biomass concentration (4.36 g/L) were achieved with the spores obtained at the 144 hr exposure time and 5 mT magnetic field intensity. The effect of low-intensity static magnetic fields (SMFs) on invertase activities of molds was investigated for the first time in the present study. As an additional contribution, a new hyper-invertase-producing mold strain was isolated.

Disseminated Aspergillus terreus infection in a caged pigeon

Disseminated aspergillosis due to Aspergillus terreus was diagnosed in a young pigeon kept by a bird fancier. The fungus was isolated in heavy growth from the infected tissues on Sabouraud medium at 37 °C. Microscopic examination of the squeeze preparation of the air sacs revealed the presence of typical conidiophores of an Aspergillus sp. Histologically, branched, septate hyphae morphologically indistinguishable from Aspergillus were detected in the air sacs and lungs. The clinical, mycological and pathological findings are discussed. The role of A. terreus as an opportunistic pathogen should be studied in various clinical conditions of mammals and avians.

Aspergillus terreus and fescue toxicosis

The incidence ofAspergillus terreus recovered fromAcremonium coenophialum-infected and non-infected tall fescue grass and from the rumens of heifers grazing on the grasses was determined. The recovery ofA. terreus fromA. coenophialum-infected grass was similar to that from non-infected grass. The same was true of the recovery from the rumens of heifers on infected and non-infected grass. All heifers grazing onA. coenophialum-infected grass showed symptoms of the summer syndrome manifestation of fescue toxicosis while those grazing on non-infected grass did not;A. terreus is not a factor in fescue toxicosis in cattle.
