Phenylacetic acid is also detoxified by means of the homogentisate pathway, which begins with the 2-hydroxyphenylacetate hydroxylation of phenylacetic acid to 2-hydroxyphenylacetate in a reaction catalysed by the pahA-encoded Phenylacetate hydroxylase phenylacetate hydroxylase. This catabolic step has been tested in three different penicillin-producing strains of Proteomics P. rubens (P. notatum, P. chrysogenum NRRL 1951 and P. chrysogenum Wisconsin 54–1255) in the presence of Penicillium rubens sucrose and lactose as non-repressing carbon sources. P. chrysogenum Wisconsin 54–1255 was able to accumulate 2-hydroxyphenylacetate at late culture times. Analysis of the P. rubens genome showed the presence of several PahA homologs, but only Pc16g01770 was transcribed under penicillin production conditions. Gene knock-down experiments indicated that the protein encoded by Pc16g01770 seems to have residual activity in phenylacetic acid degradation, this catabolic activity having no effect on benzylpenicillin biosynthesis. Proteome-wide ana- lysis of the Wisconsin 54–1255 strain in response to phenylacetic acid revealed that this molecule has a positive effect on some proteins directly related to the benzylpenicillin biosynthetic pathway, the synthesis of amino acid precursors and other important metabolic processes. Significance: The adaptive response of Penicillium rubens to benzylpenicillin production conditions remains to be fully elucidated. This article provides important information about the molecular mechanisms interconnected with phenylacetate (benzylpenicillin side chain precursor) utilization and penicillin biosynthesis, and will contribute to the understanding of the complex physiology and adaptation mechanisms triggered by P. rubens (P. chrysogenum Wisconsin 54–1255) under benzylpenicillin production conditions. 1.

  • Succession and Persistence of Microbial Communities and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes Associated with International Space Stati
    Singh et al. Microbiome (2018) 6:204 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-018-0585-2 RESEARCH Open Access Succession and persistence of microbial communities and antimicrobial resistance genes associated with International Space Station environmental surfaces Nitin Kumar Singh1, Jason M. Wood1, Fathi Karouia2,3 and Kasthuri Venkateswaran1* Abstract Background: The International Space Station (ISS) is an ideal test bed for studying the effects of microbial persistence and succession on a closed system during long space flight. Culture-based analyses, targeted gene-based amplicon sequencing (bacteriome, mycobiome, and resistome), and shotgun metagenomics approaches have previously been performed on ISS environmental sample sets using whole genome amplification (WGA). However, this is the first study reporting on the metagenomes sampled from ISS environmental surfaces without the use of WGA. Metagenome sequences generated from eight defined ISS environmental locations in three consecutive flights were analyzed to assess the succession and persistence of microbial communities, their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, and virulence properties. Metagenomic sequences were produced from the samples treated with propidium monoazide (PMA) to measure intact microorganisms. Results: The intact microbial communities detected in Flight 1 and Flight 2 samples were significantly more similar to each other than to Flight 3 samples. Among 318 microbial species detected, 46 species constituting 18 genera were common in all flight samples. Risk group or biosafety level 2 microorganisms that persisted among all three flights were Acinetobacter baumannii, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella enterica, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia frederiksenii,andAspergillus lentulus.EventhoughRhodotorula and Pantoea dominated the ISS microbiome, Pantoea exhibited succession and persistence. K. pneumoniae persisted in one location (US Node 1) of all three flights and might have spread to six out of the eight locations sampled on Flight 3.

  • Penicillium Nalgiovense
    Svahn et al. Fungal Biology and Biotechnology (2015) 2:1 DOI 10.1186/s40694-014-0011-x RESEARCH Open Access Penicillium nalgiovense Laxa isolated from Antarctica is a new source of the antifungal metabolite amphotericin B K Stefan Svahn1, Erja Chryssanthou2, Björn Olsen3, Lars Bohlin1 and Ulf Göransson1* Abstract Background: The need for new antibiotic drugs increases as pathogenic microorganisms continue to develop resistance against current antibiotics. We obtained samples from Antarctica as part of a search for new antimicrobial metabolites derived from filamentous fungi. This terrestrial environment near the South Pole is hostile and extreme due to a sparsely populated food web, low temperatures, and insufficient liquid water availability. We hypothesize that this environment could cause the development of fungal defense or survival mechanisms not found elsewhere. Results: We isolated a strain of Penicillium nalgiovense Laxa from a soil sample obtained from an abandoned penguin’s nest. Amphotericin B was the only metabolite secreted from Penicillium nalgiovense Laxa with noticeable antimicrobial activity, with minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.125 μg/mL against Candida albicans. This is the first time that amphotericin B has been isolated from an organism other than the bacterium Streptomyces nodosus. In terms of amphotericin B production, cultures on solid medium proved to be a more reliable and favorable choice compared to liquid medium. Conclusions: These results encourage further investigation of the many unexplored sampling sites characterized by extreme conditions, and confirm filamentous fungi as potential sources of metabolites with antimicrobial activity.

In this study, the cultivable fraction of fungi and bacteria from Barents Sea sediments has been studied to mine new bioactive molecules with antibacterial activity against a panel of human pathogens. We isolated diverse strains of psychrophilic and halophilic bacteria and fungi from a collection of nine samples from sea sediment. Following a full bioassay-guided approach, we isolated a new promising polyextremophilic marine fungus strain 8Na, identified as Aspergillus protuberus MUT 3638, possessing the potential to produce antimicrobial agents. This fungus, isolated from cold seawater, was able to grow in a wide range of salinity, pH and temperatures. The growth conditions were optimised and scaled to fermentation, and its produced extract was subjected to chemical analysis. The active component was identified as bisvertinolone, a member of sorbicillonoid family that was found to display significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 30 μg/mL.

In this study, 18 marine-derived fungi were isolated and identified from marine invertebrates and investigated with regard to their antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. DPPH, SO, NO and ABTS assays were used for monitoring free radical scavenging activity, and MTT assay was used for cytotoxic activity. For antimicrobial activity determination minimum inhibitory concentration was calculated. As a result, six Penicillium, five Aspergillus, one Alternaria, Cladosporium, Malassezia, Mycosphaerella, Sporobolomyces, Talaromyces and Trichoderma species were isolated from the marine invertebrate. Some of these fungal extracts such as Aspergillus chevalieri has shown high antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, further Aspergillus awamori, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium brevicompactum have shown significant cytotoxic activity against HCT-116 cells.

Other species are considered enzyme factories or are common indoor air allergens. Although DNA sequences are essential for robust identification of Penicillium species, there is currently no comprehensive, verified reference database for the genus. To coincide with the move to one fungus one name in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants, the generic concept of Penicillium was re-defined to accommodate species from other genera, such as Chromocleista, Eladia, Eupenicillium, Torulomyces and Thysanophora, which together comprise a large monophyletic clade.

PO212 can resist a high concentration of chlorate anion and displays a classical nitrate-deficiency ( nit -) phenotype resulting in poor colonial growth when nitrate is used as the main source of nitrogen. Analyses of genes implicated in nitrate assimilation evidenced the strong sequence conservation of PO212 and CH8 genome with penicillin producers such as reference strain 1 JOURNAL PRE-PROOF P. rubens Wisconsin 54-1255, P2niaD18 and Pc3, however also revealed the presence of mutations. PO212 carries a mutation in the gene coding for zinc-binuclear cluster transcription factor NirA that specifically mediates the regulation of genes involved in nitrate assimilation.
