Parasitic specialization ofGeotrichum candidum citrus race

Parasitic specialization ofGeotrichum candidum citrus race, the causal agent of citrus sour rot, was investigated. Of seven isolates tested for pathogenecity, all could infect ten species of citrus fruits and edible parts of five species of noncitrus crops. Only one isolate (Ap2), isolated from soil of an apple orchard, could infect apple fruit.     

Arabitol accumulation in Geotrichum candidum

Culture conditions which lead to the intracellular accumulation of arabitol and mannitol in Geotrichum candidum were investigated. The accumulation of arabitol was dependent on the concentrations of metabolizable hexoses, the non-metabolizable disaccharide sucrose, NaCl and KCl in the growth medium. In media containing 2% (w/v) glucose, fructose or l-sorbose cultures contained only mannitol after 48 h or 72 h growth. In media containing 10% (w/v) to 30% (w/v) glucose, or 25% (w/v) fructose or l-sorbose there was an increase in the total concentration of intracellular polyol due to the accumulation of arabitol. This pentitol was also found to accumulate intracellularly when the organism was grown in medium containing 34% (w/v) sucrose, 0.7 M NaCl or 0.7 M KCl in addition to 2% (w/v) glucose. Under the conditions tested no change in the accumulation of mannitol or ethanol-soluble carbohydrate, believed to be primarily composed of trehalose, was evident.Intracellular polyol was released during incubation of arthrospores obtained from media containing 25% or 10% glucose, in distilled water at 25° C, but no polyol was released under these conditions from arthrospores obtained from growth in 2% glucose medium.     

Stereocontrolled Reduction of Alpha-Methyl Beta-Ketoesters by Geotrichum Candidum

The conditions of the reduction of racemic ethyl 2-methyi-3-oxobutanoate by the mould Geotrichum candidum have been investigated in order to produce exclusively the corresponding (2S, 3S) anti hydroxyester. The alteration of the syn/anti hydroxyester ratio previously observed is the result of an interconversion equilibrium involving the oxoester. The syn ester formation is inhibited by ageing the biomass in water before use, or by effecting the reduction in the presence of sodium chloride. Optimized conditions are described allowing the production of the anti ester in high yield and high optical purity.     

基于26S rDNAD1/D2区序列分析的15株白地霉分子分类学研究

采用26S rRNA基因D1/D2区系统发育分析的方法对CICC(中国工业微生物菌种保藏管理中心)保藏的15株白地霉(Geotrichum candidum)菌种进行复核鉴定。系统发育分析结果表明15株白地霉属于地霉属的成员,且形成两个系统发育分支,系统发育上最接近Galactomyces geotrichum NRRLY-17569T,与其同源性为96.3%～98.3%。15株白地霉26S rRNA基因D1/D2区序列显著不同于地霉属的模式种及其它种,可能代表地霉属的两个新种,但这一结论尚需进一步的实验去证实。     

Selection of non-conventional yeasts and their use in immobilized form for the bioremediation of olive oil mill wastewaters

The yeast population dynamics in olive wastewaters (OMW), sampled in five mills from Salento (Apulia, Southern Italy), were investigated. Three hundred yeasts were isolated in five industrial mills and identified by molecular analysis. Strains belonging to Geotrichum, Saccharomyces, Pichia, Rhodotorula and Candida were detected. Five G. candidum strains were able to grow in OMW as the sole carbon source and to reduce phenolics, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and antimicrobial compounds. One G. candidum isolate was selected for whole-cell immobilization in calcium alginate gel. The COD and phenolic reduction obtained with immobilized cells showed a 2.2- and 2-fold increase compared to the removal obtained with free cells, respectively. The immobilization system enhanced yeast oxidative activity by avoiding the presence of microbial protease in treated OMW. To our knowledge, this is the first report on G. candidum whole-cell immobilization for OMW bioremediation.     

Involvement of lignin peroxidase in the decolourization of black olive mill wastewaters by Geotrichum candidum

AIM: Decolourization of black olive mill wastewaters (OMW) by depolymerization of phenolic compounds by Geotrichum candidum. METHODS AND RESULTS: Our results show that G. candidum is able to grow on black OMW supplemented with carbon source and nitrogen. The Geotrichum growth decreased the pH and induced a 49% of colour removal when the black OMW was supplemented with glycerol and diammonium tartrate (20 mm ammonium). An improvement of 10% of colour removal was observed when the culture was supplemented with veratryl alcohol. The decolourization was inhibited with glutamate as nitrogen source. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest the potential use of G. candidum in black OMW decolourization and support the concept that lignin peroxidase (LiP) of G. candidum is involved in the depolymerization of phenolic compounds. Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first report of LiP production by G. candidum on OMW.     

Commensalism during submerged mixed culture of Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium camembertii on glutamate and lactate

Geotrichum candidum and Penicillium camembertii were cultivated in pure and mixed cultures on glutamate- and lactate-based medium. In pure culture, P. camembertii assimilated simultaneously glutamate, as a nitrogen and carbon source for biosynthesis, and lactate as an energy source. On the contrary, G. candidum grew on glutamate alone. The mixed culture led to higher growth rates and then higher rates of substrate consumption and metabolite production than each pure culture; however, the behaviour recorded was similar to that observed during G. candidum pure culture, in particular the absence of lactate assimilation during growth, illustrating a commensalism between both species. The presence of G. candidum induced a form of “competition” and then a better assimilation by P. camembertii of the sole nitrogen source, glutamate, which was therefore used as an energy source in addition to be a carbon (and nitrogen) source. Lactate was only used for energy supply during stationary state, as also recorded during G. candidum pure culture.     

Protoplast Fusion between Geotrichum candidium and Phanerochaete chrysosporium to Produce Fusants for Corn Stover Fermentation

Lignin impedes the digestion of corn stover when used as an animal feed. Phanerochaete chrysosporium is an efficient lignindegrader. Geotrichum candidum can be used to produce single-cell protein. In this study, protoplasts of the two fungi were prepared and fused. After screening, one of the fusants, Fusant R1, was selected for corn stover fermentation. It decreased lignin from 109 to 54 g/kg and increased protein from 48 to 67 g/kg in corn stover. Comparison with their parental strains indicated that the fusant obtained the lignin-degrading ability from P. chrysosporium and the protein-accumulating ability from G. candidium.     

Quantification of protopectinase SE, an endopolygalacturonase with pectin-releasing activity from Geotrichum klebahnii

Pectin releasing activity of protopectinase SE (PPase-SE) from Geotrichum klebahnii (= G. penicillatum = Trichosporon penicillatum) ATCC 42397 was determined using different batches of lemon protopectin as substrate. Results obtained showed a high degree of variability depending on the batch of protopectin used. As PPase-SE also shows polygalacturonase (PGase) activity, a method for the assay of this activity was optimised. The best assay conditions were: substrate (polygalacturonic acid) concentration of 2.0 g 1^–1, reaction time of 10 min and up to 0.17 PGase units per test tube.
