  • ABSTRACT Title of Thesis
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: UNDERSTANDING THE INFLUENCE OF MICROBIAL SOURCES AND TIME ON THE DEVELOPING CREEPING BENTGRASS MICROBIOME Joseph Ryan Doherty, Master of Science, 2018 Thesis Directed by: Assistant Professor, Dr. Joseph A. Roberts Plant Science and Landscape Architecture Microbial communities are intimately intertwined with many processes affecting the health of plants. There is increasing interest in utilizing microbial communities to increase plant health while reducing management inputs. To that end, bacterial and fungal communities associated with creeping bentgrass were evaluated using next- generation sequencing technologies. Evaluating the impact of resident seed and soil microbial communities revealed introductions of microbes from the seed despite a strong influence from the soil. Observing long-term population dynamics revealed no shifts in fungal diversity over six months, while bacterial diversity increased from emergence to two months post-emergence. Across both studies taxonomic profiling revealed that bacterial and fungal communities were consistently dominated by just a few groups. In both studies, ordination analyses revealed clustering of samples by sampling time. These results show that changes in the microbiome are driven by rare species, and that the turfgrass microbiome is resilient to change over time.

  • Mycobiology Research Article
    Mycobiology Research Article Penicillium menonorum: A Novel Fungus to Promote Growth and Nutrient Management in Cucumber Plants Anam Giridhar Babu, Sang Woo Kim, Dil Raj Yadav, Umyong Hyum, Mahesh Adhikari and Youn Su Lee* Division of Bioresource Sciences, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 200-701, Korea Abstract The present study is the first report on the isolation of Penicillium menonorum from rhizosphere soil in Korea and its identification based on morphological characteristics and internal transcribed spacer gene sequence. The fungal isolate was named KNU-3 and was found to exhibit plant growth-promoting (PGP) activity through indole acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore production, as well as P solubilization. KNU-3 produced 9.7 mg/L IAA and solubilized 408 mg of Ca3PO4/L, and inoculation with the isolate significantly (p < 0.05) increased the dry biomass of cucumber roots (57%) and shoots (52%). Chlorophyll, starch, protein, and P contents were increased by 16%, 45%, 22%, and 14%, respectively, compared to plants grown in uninoculated soil. The fungus also increased soil dehydrogenase (30%) and acid phosphatase (19%) activities. These results demonstrate that the isolate KNU-3 has potential PGP attributes, and therefore it can be considered as a new fungus to enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth. Moreover, the discovery of PGP ability and traits of this fungus will open new aspects of research and investigations. In this study, plant growth promotion by P. menonorum KNU-3 is reported for the first time in Korea after its original description. Keywords Fungi, Molecular diversity, Morphology, Penicillium menonorum, Sequence analysis The growing world population and the increasing demand [1, 2].

PG College, Rajgarh 496551, Madhya Pradesh, India Email: [email protected] Received: 22 Apr 2016 Revised and Accepted: 20 June 2016 ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi that live asymptomatically inside the plant tissues have novel bioactive metabolites exhibiting a variety of biological activities, especially against cancer. This review highlights the research progress on the production of anticancer compounds by endophytic fungi from 1990- 2015. Anticancer activity is generally associated with the cytotoxicity of the compounds present in the endophytic fungi. The ubiquitous nature of endophytic fungi synthesise diverse chemicals with promising anticancer activity from either their original host or related species. Modification in fermentation parameters and genetic insight of endophytes may produce novel anti-cancerous compounds. Keywords: Cancer, Medicinal plants, Secondary metabolites © 2016 The Authors.

Moldagulova avenue, 34 Abstract With the use of classical identification methods, which imply the identification of fungi by cultural and morphological features, they may not be reliable. With the development of modern molecular methods, it became possible to quickly and accurately determine the species and race of the fungus. The purpose of this work was to study bioecology and refine the species composition of fungi of the genus Aspergillus, Penicillium on seeds of cereal crops. The article presents materials of scientific research on morphological and molecular genetic peculiarities of storage fungi, affecting seeds of grain crops. Particular attention is paid to the fungi that develop in the stored grain. The seeds of cereals (Triticum aestivum L., Avena sativa L., Hordeum vulgare L., Zea mays L., Oryza sativa L., Sorghum vulgare Pers., Panicum miliaceum L.) were collected from the granaries of five districts (Talgar, Iliysky, Karasai, Zhambul, Panfilov) of the Almaty region. The pathogens of diseases of fungal etiology were found from the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus influencing the safety, quality and safety of the grain.

Samson, [email protected] Abstract: The taxonomic history of anamorphic species attributed to Penicillium subgenus Biverticillium is reviewed, along with evidence supporting their relationship with teleomorphic species classified inTalaromyces. To supplement previous conclusions based on ITS, SSU and/or LSU sequencing that Talaromyces and subgenus Biverticillium comprise a monophyletic group that is distinct from Penicillium at the generic level, the phylogenetic relationships of these two groups with other genera of Trichocomaceae was further studied by sequencing a part of the RPB1 (RNA polymerase II largest subunit) gene.

  • Genome Sequencing and Analysis of Talaromyces Pinophilus Provide
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome sequencing and analysis of Talaromyces pinophilus provide insights into biotechnological Received: 4 October 2016 Accepted: 3 March 2017 applications Published: xx xx xxxx Cheng-Xi Li, Shuai Zhao, Ting Zhang, Liang Xian, Lu-Sheng Liao, Jun-Liang Liu & Jia-Xun Feng Species from the genus Talaromyces produce useful biomass-degrading enzymes and secondary metabolites. However, these enzymes and secondary metabolites are still poorly understood and have not been explored in depth because of a lack of comprehensive genetic information. Here, we report a 36.51-megabase genome assembly of Talaromyces pinophilus strain 1–95, with coverage of nine scaffolds of eight chromosomes with telomeric repeats at their ends and circular mitochondrial DNA. In total, 13,472 protein-coding genes were predicted. Of these, 803 were annotated to encode enzymes that act on carbohydrates, including 39 cellulose-degrading and 24 starch-degrading enzymes. In addition, 68 secondary metabolism gene clusters were identified, mainly including T1 polyketide synthase genes and nonribosomal peptide synthase genes. Comparative genomic analyses revealed that T. pinophilus 1–95 harbors more biomass-degrading enzymes and secondary metabolites than other related filamentous fungi. The prediction of theT. pinophilus 1–95 secretome indicated that approximately 50% of the biomass-degrading enzymes are secreted into the extracellular environment. These results expanded our genetic knowledge of the biomass-degrading enzyme system of T. pinophilus and its biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, facilitating the cultivation of T. pinophilus for high production of useful products. Talaromyces pinophilus, formerly designated Penicillium pinophilum, is a fungus that produces biomass-degrading enzymes such as α-amylase1, cellulase2, endoglucanase3, xylanase2, laccase4 and α-galactosidase2.

Academic Editor: Christopher L. Schardl Received: 21 November 2014 / Accepted: 14 January 2015 / Published: 20 January 2015 Abstract: Several fungi in two different families––the Clavicipitaceae and the Trichocomaceae––produce different profiles of ergot alkaloids, many of which are important in agriculture and medicine. All ergot alkaloid producers share early steps before their pathways diverge to produce different end products. EasA, an oxidoreductase of the old yellow enzyme class, has alternate activities in different fungi resulting in branching of the pathway. Enzymes beyond the branch point differ among lineages. In the Clavicipitaceae, diversity is generated by the presence or absence and activities of lysergyl peptide synthetases, which interact to make lysergic acid amides and ergopeptines. The range of ergopeptines in a fungus may be controlled by the presence of multiple peptide synthetases as well as by the specificity of individual peptide synthetase domains. In the Trichocomaceae, diversity is generated by the presence or absence of the prenyl transferase encoded by easL (also called fgaPT1). Moreover, relaxed specificity of EasL appears to contribute to ergot alkaloid diversification. The profile of ergot alkaloids observed within a fungus also is affected by a delayed flux of intermediates through the pathway, which results in an accumulation of intermediates or early pathway byproducts to concentrations comparable to that of the pathway end product.
