The aim of 26 this work was to produce a monoclonal antibody and diagnostic assay for its detection in tomato 27 fruit and juice. Using hybridoma technology, a cell line (FE10) was generated that produced a 28 monoclonal antibody belonging to the immunoglobulin class M (IgM) that was specific to G. 29 candidum and the closely related teleomorphic species Galactomyces geotrichum and 30 anamorphic species Geotrichum europaeum and Geotrichum pseudocandidum in the 31 Galactomyces geotrichum/G. candidum complex. The MAb did not cross-react with a wide 32 range of unrelated fungi, including some likely to be encountered during crop production and 33 processing. The MAb binds to an immunodominant high molecular mass (>200 kDa) 34 extracellular polysaccharide antigen that is present on the surface of arthroconidia and hyphae of 35 G. candidum. The MAb was used in a highly specific Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay 36 (ELISA) to accurately detect the fungus in infected tomato fruit and juice. Specificity of the 37 ELISA was confirmed by sequencing of the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) 1-5.8S-ITS2 38 rRNA-encoding regions of fungi isolated from naturally-infected tomatoes. 39 40 Keywords: Geotrichum candidum, hybridoma, monoclonal antibody, enzyme-linked 41 immunosorbent assay 42 43 44 45 2 46 1. Introduction 47 Geotrichum candidum is a filamentous yeast-like fungus. It is a ubiquitous organism 48 found in a range of habitats including air, water, silage and soil (Butler and Eckert, 1962; 49 O’Brien et al., 2005) and also in foodstuffs such as milk, cheese and fermented milk products 50 (Boutrou and Guégen, 2005; Marcellino et al., 2001; Mistry, 2004; Pottier et al., 2008; Ruas- 51 Madiedo et al., 2006; Wouters et al., 2002). As a component of the normal microbiota of the 52 human digestive tract, it has been reported, albeit infrequently, as a cause of infection in 53 immuno-compromised patients (Farina et al., 1999; Vasei and Imanieh, 1999; Verghese and 54 Ravichandran, 2003; Andre et al., 2004; Sfakianakis et al., 2007; Henrich et al., 2009). 55 As a plant pathogen, G. candidum causes sour-rot of citrus fruit, tomatoes, carrot, and 56 other fruits and vegetables (Pitt and Hocking, 2009). Most susceptible to infection are ripe or 57 overripe fruits and vegetables, particularly those kept in moisture-holding packaging (Skavia et 58 al., 2004) and wounded tissue (Moline, 1984). Decay spreads rapidly, resulting in a sour- 59 smelling watery mass. While the fungus prefers high temperatures and humidity, it is active at 60 temperatures as low as 2oC. Consequently, the fungus is an important post-harvest storage 61 pathogen (Moline, 1984; Oladiran and Iwu, 1992; Skavia, 2004; Tournas, 2005). In addition, G. 62 candidum is the predominant contaminant on tomato processing equipment and is referred to as 63 “machinery mould” (Splittstoesser et al., 2006). As a consequence, the fungus is used by 64 regulatory inspectors as a microbiological criterion to assess sanitation of equipment in fruit and 65 vegetable processing plants and in bottling works (Xu and Hang, 1988). 66 While microscope and culture-based mould counts and a lectin-mediated chitin-binding 67 assay can be used to assess the total fungal burden in raw tomato juice (Potts et al., 2000, 2001; 68 AOAC, 2010), these tests are not sufficiently specific to discriminate between different 3 69 contaminating organisms. As an alternative to mould counts, an enzyme immunoassay using 70 polyclonal antiserum was developed to quantify mould content of tomato paste, but the 71 antibodies cross-reacted with all of the major tomato spoilage organisms (Robertson and Patel, 72 1989). Because of this, there is a pressing need for the development of a test that allows the 73 specific detection of G. candidum during the production, harvesting, post-harvest handling and 74 processing of tomatoes. 75 Hybridoma technology allows the production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that are 76 specific to individual genera, species or even isolates of fungi (Thornton et al., 2002; Thornton, 77 2008; Thornton, 2009). The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a MAb specific 78 to G. candidum and its use to develop a highly specific and sensitive diagnostic assay (ELISA) 79 for detection of the fungus in tomato fruit and juice. 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 4 92 2. Materials and methods 93 2.1. Fungal culture 94 All fungi (Table 1) were routinely cultured on malt yeast agar (MYA) slants under a 16 h 95 fluorescent light regime at 26 oC. MYA agar consisted of malt yeast (MY) medium 96 (bactopeptone, 0.5% w/v; malt extract, 1.0% w/v; glucose, 0.4% w/v; yeast extract, 0.4% w/v) 97 and agar, 2.0% w/v; and was adjusted to pH 7.3 with 1M NaOH prior to autoclaving at 121 oC 98 for 15 min. 99 100 2.2. Development of MAbs, preparation of immunogen, and immunization regime 101 Balb/c mice were immunized with soluble antigens prepared from lyophilized mycelium of 102 G. candidum (CBS strain 115.23). Arthroconidia were suspended in water after 5-d-old MYA 103 slant cultures were flooded with 5 mL dH2O and gently agitated with an inoculation loop. 104 Conidial suspensions were then filtered through Miracloth to remove mycelium and transferred to 105 1.5 mL micro-centrifuge tubes. The conidia were washed three times with dH2O by repeated 106 vortexing and centrifugation at 14,462 g for 5 min and finally suspended in dH2O to give a 107 concentration of 106 conidia/mL solution. Flasks containing 150 mL of MY medium were 108 inoculated with 200 mL of the conidial suspension and incubated with shaking (150 rpm) for 48 h o 109 at 26 C. The contents of the flasks were snap frozen in liquid N2, and lyophilized. Lyophilized 110 material was suspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS: 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 8 mM 111 Na2HPO4, and 1.5 mM KH2PO4 [pH7.2]) and the resultant suspension centrifuged for 5 min at 112 14,462 g. The supernatant, containing solubilized antigens, was used as the immunogen and as a 113 source of antigens for hybridoma screening assays. For immunization, 6-wk-old BALB/c female 114 white mice were given four intraperitoneal injections (300 µL per injection) of antigen extract 5 115 containing 2.3 mg protein per mL PBS at 2-wk intervals and a single booster injection five days 116 before fusion. 117 118 2.3. Production and screening of hybridomas and determination of antibody specificity 119 Hybridoma cells were produced by the method described elsewhere (Thornton, 2001) and 120 the supernatants were screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against 121 antigens immobilized to the wells of Maxisorp microtitre plates (Nunc; 442404)(50 µL per 122 well). For antibody specificity tests, fungi were grown on MYA slopes and surface washings 123 prepared as described elsewhere (Thornton, 2009). Protein concentrations, determined 124 spectrophotometrically at 280 nm (Nanodrop, Agilent Technologies Limited, Berkshire, UK), 125 were adjusted to 60 µg/mL buffer. Fifty µL volumes were then used to coat the wells of 126 microtitre plates. After incubating overnight at 4 oC, wells were washed four times with PBST 127 (PBS containing Tween 20, 0.05% v/v) and once each with PBS and dH2O and air-dried at 23 128 oC in a laminar flow hood.

Baumgardner, MD Aurora University of Wisconsin Medical Group, Aurora Health Care, Milwaukee, WI; Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI; Center for Urban Population Health, Milwaukee, WI Abstract Fungal infections in humans resulting from human or animal contact are relatively uncommon, but they include a significant proportion of dermatophyte infections. Some of the most commonly encountered diseases of the integument are dermatomycoses. Human or animal contact may be the source of all types of tinea infections, occasional candidal infections, and some other types of superficial or deep fungal infections. This narrative review focuses on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of anthropophilic dermatophyte infections primarily found in North America.

    MLAB 1331: MYCOLOGY LECTURE GUIDE I. OVERVIEW OF MYCOLOGY A. Importance of mycology 1. Introduction Mycology - the study of fungi Fungi - molds and yeasts Molds - exhibit filamentous type of growth Yeasts - pasty or mucoid form of fungal growth 50,000 + valid species; some have more than one name due to minor variations in size, color, host relationship, or geographic distribution 2. General considerations Fungi stain gram positive, and require oxygen to survive Fungi are eukaryotic, containing a nucleus bound by a membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. (Bacteria are prokaryotes and do not contain these structures.) Fungi are heterotrophic like animals and most bacteria; they require organic nutrients as a source of energy. (Plants are autotrophic.) Fungi are dependent upon enzymes systems to derive energy from organic substrates - saprophytes - live on dead organic matter - parasites - live on living organisms Fungi are essential in recycling of elements, especially carbon. 3. Role of fungi in the economy a. Industrial uses of fungi (1) Mushrooms (Class Basidiomycetes) Truffles (Class Ascomycetes) (2) Natural food supply for wild animals (3) Yeast as food supplement, supplies vitamins (4) Penicillium - ripens cheese, adds flavor - Roquefort, etc. (5) Fungi used to alter texture, improve flavor of natural and processed foods b.

  • Introduction to Mycology
    Introduction to Mycology Dr. Sundes Sultan Introduction to Mycology Mycology is the study of fungi – Yeast Mold Yeasts and molds Have different structural and reproductive characteristics Yeast are unicellular, nucleated rounded fungi while molds are multicellular, filamentous fungi Yeast reproduce by a process called budding while molds produce spores to reproduce Some yeast are opportunistic pathogens in that they cause disease in immuno-compromised individuals Yeast are used in the preparation in the variety of foods Basic terms as they relate to mycology: Hypha (hyphae plural) - fundamental tube- like structural units of fungi. Septate - divided by cross walls. Aseptate - lacking cross walls. Mycelium - a mass (mat) of hyphae forming the vegetative portion of the fungus. Aerial - growing or existing in the air. Vegetative - absorbs nutrients. Fertile - bears conidia (spores) for reproduction. Basic Terms (continued) Sporulation & Spores - preferred terms when there is a merging of nuclear material. Self- fertile are termed homothallic. Mating types are termed heterothallic. Sexual spores - exhibit fusion of nuclei. Ascospore - spore formed in a sac-like cell known as an ascus. Often eight (8) spores formed. (Ascomycetes) Basic Terms (continued) Basidiospore - sexual spore produced on a specialized club-shaped structure, called a basidium. (Basidiomycetes) Zygospore - a thick-walled spore formed during sexual reproduction (Phycomycetes) Sporulation & Spores (continued) Asexual spores - most common type. Conidia - asexual fungal spores borne externally in various ways from a conidiophore; often referred to a macroconidia (multicellular) and microconidia (unicellular). Arthroconidium (Arthrospore) - special type of asexual spore formed by disarticulation of the mycelium. Sporulation & Spores (continued) Chlamydospore - thick-walled asexual spore formed by direct differentiation of the mycelium (concentration of protoplasm and nutrients).
