Priscila da Silva ix Resumo Os Fungos Anamorfos caracterizam-se por apresentar estruturas de reprodução assexuadas representadas pelos conidióforos, células conidiogênicas e conídios. São fungos sapróbios colonizadores de inúmeros substratos de plantas, principalmente da serapilheira. Muitas espécies tem seu habitat no folhedo e são característicos desse ambiente, principalmente espécies que exibem setas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a diversidade de Fungos Anamorfos presentes no folhedo de Caesalpinia echinata Lam., em duas áreas, uma impactada por poluição aérea (Parque Municipal do Ibirapuera) e outra sem essa influência (Reserva Biológica de Mogi-Guaçu), ambas no Estado de São Paulo. Os folíolos de C. echinata foram coletados bimestralmente, no período de fevereiro de 2005 a fevereiro de 2006 e aplicada a técnica de lavagem sucessiva de substratos e incubação em câmaras-úmidas. Os fungos foram isolados sob microscópio estereoscópico, colocados diretamente em lâminas permanentes para análise e identificação. Foram obtidos 33 táxons, 23 no Parque Municipal do Ibirapuera, 22 na Reserva Biológica de Mogi-Guaçu sendo 12 comuns às áreas de coleta, demonstrando similaridade de 53,3%. Os fungos Chlamydopsis proliferans Hol.-Jech. & R.F. Castañeda, Sporidesmium flagelliforme Matsush. e Uberispora heteroseptata R.F.Castañeda, Guarro & Cano, são novas referências para o Brasil, enquanto que Chlamydopsis proliferans Hol.-Jech. & R.F. Castañeda, Cryptophiale minor M.L. Farr, Gonytrichum macrocladum (Sacc.) S. Hughes, Mariannaea elegans (Corda) Samson, Periconia minutissima Corda, Sporidesmium flagelliforme Matsush. e Uberispora heteroseptata R.F.Castañeda, Guarro & Cano, são primeiras citações para o Estado de São Paulo. As descrições de Gyrothrix ramosa Zucconi & Onofri e Triposporium deviatum (Subram.) R.F. Castañeda são apresentadas pela primeira vez para o país. Sugere-se que os Fungos Anamorfos possam colonizar o folhedo de plantas estabelecidas em regiões impactadas por poluição aérea, não sendo este fator limitante para o desenvolvimento desses microrganismos. x Abstract The Anamorphic Fungi are characterized by asexual reproduction structures represented by conidiophores, conidiogenous cells and conidia. They are saprobic fungi colonizing several plants substrates, especially leaf litter and branchlets. Many taxa have their habitat in leaf litter and are characteristic from this environment, especially species with setae. The aim of this study was to verify the Anamorphic Fungi diversity in leaf litter of Caesalpinia

The fungus was identified as being a strain of Epicoccum nigrum. The fungal exudate presented strong antifungal activity against both yeasts and filamentous fungi, and inhibited the germination of fungal spores. The chemical characterization of the exudate showed that the pigmented molecule presenting antifungal activity is the disalt of epipyrone A—a water-soluble polyene metabolite with a molecular mass of 612.29 and maximal UV–Vis absorbance at 428 nm. This antifungal compound showed excellent stability to different temperatures and neutral to alkaline pH. Keywords: polyenes; pigment; fungicide; antimicrobial; yeast; antibiotic; bioactives 1.

  • Particle-Size Distributions and Seasonal Diversity of Allergenic and Pathogenic Fungi in Outdoor Air

Although exposure to fungal allergens is considered a strong risk factor for asthma prevalence and severity, limitations in tracking fungal diversity in air have thus far prevented a clear understanding of their human pathogenic properties. This study used a cascade impactor for sampling, and quantitative real-time PCR plus 454 pyrosequencing for analysis to investigate seasonal, size-resolved fungal commu- nities in outdoor air in an urban setting in the northeastern United States. From the 20 libraries produced with an average of B800 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences (total 15 326 reads), 12 864 and 11 280 sequences were determined to the genus and species levels, respectively, and 558 different genera and 1172 different species were identified, including allergens and infectious pathogens. These analyses revealed strong relationships between fungal aerodynamic diameters and features of taxonomic compositions. The relative abundance of airborne allergenic fungi ranged from 2.8% to 10.7% of total airborne fungal taxa, peaked in the fall, and increased with increasing aerodynamic diameter.

  • Hidden Fungi: Combining Culture-Dependent and -Independent DNA Barcoding Reveals Inter-Plant Variation in Species Richness of Endophytic Root Fungi in Elymus Repens
    Journal of Fungi Article Hidden Fungi: Combining Culture-Dependent and -Independent DNA Barcoding Reveals Inter-Plant Variation in Species Richness of Endophytic Root Fungi in Elymus repens Anna K. Høyer and Trevor R. Hodkinson * Botany, School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, The University of Dublin, Dublin D2, Ireland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The root endophyte community of the grass species Elymus repens was investigated using both a culture-dependent approach and a direct amplicon sequencing method across five sites and from individual plants. There was much heterogeneity across the five sites and among individual plants. Focusing on one site, 349 OTUs were identified by direct amplicon sequencing but only 66 OTUs were cultured. The two approaches shared ten OTUs and the majority of cultured endo- phytes do not overlap with the amplicon dataset. Media influenced the cultured species richness and without the inclusion of 2% MEA and full-strength MEA, approximately half of the unique OTUs would not have been isolated using only PDA. Combining both culture-dependent and -independent methods for the most accurate determination of root fungal species richness is therefore recom- mended. High inter-plant variation in fungal species richness was demonstrated, which highlights the need to rethink the scale at which we describe endophyte communities.

They are responsible for visible or non-visible defects, such as off-odor and -flavor, and lead to significant food waste and losses as well as important economic losses. Control of fungal spoilage is a major concern for industrials and scientists that are looking for efficient solutions to prevent and/or limit fungal spoilage in dairy products. Several traditional methods also called traditional hurdle technologies are implemented and combined to prevent and control such contaminations. Prevention methods include good manufacturing and hygiene practices, air filtration, and decontamination systems, while control methods include inactivation treatments, temperature control, and modified atmosphere packaging. However, despite technology advances in existing preservation methods, fungal spoilage is still an issue for dairy manufacturers and in recent years, new (bio) preservation technologies are being developed such as the use of bioprotective cultures. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the diversity of spoilage fungi in dairy products and the traditional and (potentially) new hurdle technologies to control their occurrence in dairy foods.

Pamphile Departamento de Biotecnologia, Genética e Biologia Celular, Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Maringá, PR, Brasil Corresponding author: J.A. Pamphile E-mail: [email protected] Genet. Mol. Res. 12 (2): 935-950 (2013) Received August 6, 2012 Accepted January 16, 2013 Published April 2, 2013 DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.4238/2013.April.2.10 ABSTRACT. Brazil has a great diversity of plants, and considering that all plant species studied to date have endophytic microorganisms (bacteria or fungi), the country is a resource in the search for bioactive compounds. Endophytes live within plants without causing damage and may be in dynamic equilibrium with the health of the plant. Endophytic fungi can be identified by sequencing the region corresponding to internal transcribed spacer 1-5,8S-internal transcribed spacer 2 ribosomal DNA, and carrying out phylogenetic analyses of these sequences helps to identify species. The objective of this research was to perform in silico phylogenetic analysis of fungi isolated from various plant families in Brazil. For this study, we chose 12 articles published between 2005 and 2012 that examined endophytes isolated in Brazil. We analyzed sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank database and carried out alignment to determine the genetic distance of strains using the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis version 5 program. The articles yielded 73 plant species belonging to 13 families found in the Brazilian States of Amazonas, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Paraná, and São Paulo.
