稻绿核菌(稻曲病菌)分离方法的比较研究

作者对不同情况下稻曲病菌的分离方法进行了比较研究。结果表明成熟早期稻曲球上的绝大多数新鲜的厚垣孢子具有萌发能力,及时进行分离培养是病原菌成功分离的关键。随保存时间的延长,厚垣孢子萌发能力急剧下降;消毒处理可杀死大部分的厚垣孢子。菌核可长期保存并保持极高的萌发生长能力,是稻曲病菌分离最为理想的材料。稻曲球中部的致密菌丝组织分离难度较大,只能作为稻曲病菌分离的一种补救方法。

Enhanced Recovery of Phytophthora ramorum from Soil Following 30 Days of Storage at 4°C

Chlamydospores of Phytophthora ramorum were used to infest field soil at densities ranging from 0.2 to 42 chlamydospores/cm³ soil. Recovery was determined by baiting with rhododendron leaf discs and dilution plating at time 0 and after 30 days of storage at 4°C, as recommended by USDA‐APHIS. Baiting was slightly more sensitive than dilution plating in recovering P. ramorum immediately following infestation of soil and allowed detection from samples infested with as little as 0.2 chlamydospores/cm³ compared with 1 chlamydospore/cm³ for dilution plating. After 30 days of infested soil storage at 4°C, P. ramorum was detected at significantly (P = 0.05) higher levels than at time 0 with both recovery methods. The results indicate that storage of P. ramorum‐infested soil at 4°C may allow for pathogen activity, such as sporangia production, which may enhance recovery from soil.     

Purification and germination of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis chlamydospores cultured in liquid media

Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are the only Candida sp. that have been observed to produce chlamydospores. The function of these large, thick-walled cells is currently unknown. In this report, we describe the production and purification of chlamydospores from these species in defined liquid media. Staining with the fluorescent dye FUN-1 indicated that chlamydospores are metabolically active cells, but that metabolic activity is undetectable in chlamydospores that are >30 days old. However, 5–15-day-old chlamydospores could be induced to produce daughter chlamydospores, blastospores, pseudohyphae and true hyphae depending on the incubation conditions used. Chlamydospores that were preinduced to germinate were also observed to escape from murine macrophages following phagocytosis, suggesting that these structures may be viable in vivo . Mycelium-attached and purified chlamydospores rapidly lost their viability in water and when subjected to dry stress, suggesting that they are unlikely to act as long-term storage structures. Instead, our data suggest that chlamydospores represent an alternative specialized form of growth by C. albicans and C. dubliniensis .     

Effects of abiotic factors and biocontrol agents on chlamydospore formation in Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium sporotrichioides

Chlamydospores are vital asexual resting cells, which allow most of the Fusarium pathogenic strains to retain their longevity, thus ensuring survival of viable reproductive cells. This study suggested that both abiotic – extreme temperature and growth media, and biotic – antagonistic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SMCD 518 and mycoparasititic Acremonium strictum SMCD 504 are natural stressors able to shift chlamydospores formation in Fusarium graminearum and F. sporotrichioides under in vitro conditions. In F. sporotrichioides, Minimal Conversion Media (MCM) with mannitol supplement induced high chlamydospore size, and chain abundance at optimal 21°C and extreme 37°C temperatures, respectively. F. graminearum showed low chlamydospore formation on MCM–mannitol, even when exposed to 37°C under prolonged 5 days incubation. Generally, F. sporotrichioides has higher chlamydospore abundance, longer chlamydospore chain, and production rapidity compared to F. graminearum in both abiotic and biotic treatments. However, biocontrol bacteria and mycoparasite posed minimal effects on chlamydospore formation, as compared to abiotic stressors, thus controlling the Fusaria but not triggering them to generate chlamydospores as protection shields.

Antimorphogenic effects of 2-deoxy-D-glucose in Candida albicans

Abstract 2-Deoxy- d -glucose (dGlc) is able to inhibit both N -acetyl-hexosamine-induced chlamydosporogenesis and N -acetyl-glucosamine- or proline-induced germ-tube formation in Candida albicans . This inhibition is exerted also at dGlc concentrations which do not affect growth in the yeast form and do not reduce either the uptake or the incorporation of N-acetyl- d -glucosamine (GlcNAc) into yeast or hyphal cell material. Inhibition of germtube formation by dGlc does not occur in serum and is fully reversed by glucose. It is suggested that dGlc acts as a potent antimorphogenic effector in C. albicans .     

Evaluation of SOC for the presumptive identification of Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans

SOC, a fungal growth medium composed of Solryth^R, oxgall, and caffeic acid, was evaluated as a medium to provide rapid, differential identification of Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. Using a variety of common isolation media to produce the yeast inocula, the germ tube methods tested ranked in the following order of decreasing sensitivity: SOC (97%±1), serum (92%±5), rabbit coagulase plasma with EDTA in combination with tryptic soy broth (89%±5), TOC (89%±6), and rabbit coagulase plasma with EDTA (83%±4). In chlamydospore production, SOC also proved to be the most sensitive after 24 h incubation: SOC (96%±2), TOC (80%±2), and cornmeal-Tween 80 agar (14%±3). Other medically important yeasts showed normal patterns of growth within 24 h on SOC, thus assisting in their identification.Eighty strains of Cryptococcus neoformans showed characteristic brown pigmentation on SOC and TOC within 18 h, while all other species of the genus Cryptococcus and 229 Candida isolates did not show a change in pigmentation.
