The aim of this study was isolation of novel 22 and industrially applicable fungi derived from marine environments. In this study, 16 23 fungus-like strains, MS1–MS16, were isolated from coastal marine sediment in Maizuru Bay, 24 Japan, under aerobic culture conditions. Phylogenetic analysis of 18S rRNA gene sequences 25 indicated that 10 isolates belonged to Ascomycota, five isolates belonged to Sordariomycetes, 26 two were Dothideomycetes, and three were Saccharomycetes. Liquid and agar potato dextrose 27 cultures of strains MS1 and MS2 isolated from the coastal sediment released a melon-like 28 aroma. Gas chromatography analysis suggested that strains MS1 and MS2 produce four major 29 chemicals associated with a melon aroma, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, cis-6-nonenal, 3,6-nonadien-1-ol, 30 and trans,cis-2,6-nonadienal. The sequence analyses of the 26S rRNA domains 1/2 (D1/D2) 31 and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions indicated that strains MS1 and MS2 were 32 phylogenetically identified as Geotrichum candidum, a well-known yeast used as a cheese 33 starter. These results suggest the future isolations of novel and functional fungi from marine 34 environments. 35 36 Key words Marine fungi· Melon-aroma· Yeast· Coastal sediment· Phylogenetic analysis 37 38 Introduction 2 39 40 Fungi include a variety of industrially useful species such as Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma 41 reesei) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. H. jecorina produces and secretes a large amount of 42 cellulase, and is a useful industrial enzyme producer. S. cerevisiae has long been used as an 43 ethanol producer [1, 2]. Terpene glycosides in grapes were reported to be hydrolyzed to free 44 volatile terpene aroma compounds by yeasts during the aging of wines [3]. Ester levels in 45 Bordeaux red wines were strongly influenced by yeast strains [4]. Kluyveromyces lactis and S. 46 cerevisiae were two potent deacidifying and volatile sulphur-aroma producing 47 yeasts of the cheese ecosystem [5]. S. cerevisiae were reported to produce the aroma 48 chemicals of 3-(methylthio)-1-propanol and 3-(methylthio)-propylacetate using L-methionine 49 as sole nitrogen source [6]. Yeasts have a close relationship with flavors and aromas of wines 50 and cheeses. 51 Marine organisms are thought to be excellent bioresources owing to their production of 52 many useful compounds [7]. Approximately 150–200 new compounds are isolated annually 53 from marine fungi [8]. Marine fungi that produce antimicrobial metabolites have been 54 screened [9]. New prenylxanthones were detected from the deep-sea sediment-derived fungus 55 Emericella sp., which was isolated from the sediment (3,258 m) of the South China Sea [10]. 56 New polyketides were detected from the deep-sea sediment-derived fungus Aspergillus sp., 57 which was isolated from the hydrothermal vent (2,255 m, temperature 114 ºC) in the 3 58 southwest Pacific [11]. There may be many uncultured fungal strains that produce useful 59 compounds in marine environments. 60 Isolated marine fungi have been classified into the phyla Chytridiomycota, Oomycota, 61 Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota. A marine chytridial parasitoid of dinoflagellates has been 62 identified as a new genus and species, Dinomyces arenysensis [12]. A total of 31 fungi isolates 63 were recovered from seawater and sediment samples from the Pearl River Delta (China), and 64 most belonged to the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota [13]. Ninety-eight fungal strains 65 were isolated from two samples of the marine sponge Dragmacidon reticulatum using six 66 different culture media, and 64 distinct fungal ribotypes that belonged to 24 genera of 67 Ascomycota and Zygomycota were obtained [14]. An analysis of internal transcribed spacer 68 (ITS) sequences revealed that 101 phenotypically different fungal isolates obtained from 11 69 sponge samples collected in King George Island, Antarctica belong to the phylum 70 Ascomycota [15]. There may be many uncultured fungal strains representing a wide range of 71 taxa in marine environments. 72 The definition of marine fungi is problematic. Marine Ascomycetes have a wide salinity 73 tolerance, including low-salinity conditions, and are less conditioned by the available 74 substrate [16]. The effects of seawater concentration on hyphal growth and antimicrobial 75 metabolite production in marine fungi have been studied using 0%, 50%, and 100% 76 seawater-based culture medium [9]. The aim of this study was isolation of novel and 4 77 industrially applicable fungi derived from marine environments. In this study, fungi were 78 isolated from coastal marine sediment in Maizuru Bay, Japan. Fungi derived from marine 79 sediment habitats were isolated with 100% seawater-based culture medium. Phylogenetic 80 analyses of the 18S rRNA gene, 26S rRNA domains 1 and 2 (26S rRNA D1/D2), and ITS 1/2 81 regions were conducted to identify the isolated fungal strains. 82 83 Materials and methods 84 85 Sampling and isolation 86 87 A coastal marine surface sediment sample (0–5 cm in depth) was collected using a 88 Smith-McIntyre sediment sampler from a site in Maizuru Bay (35°29'41.1"N 135°22'05.2"E; 89 July 19, 2013) in Kyoto prefecture, Japan. The sediment sample was spread on potato 90 dextrose (PD) agar plates based on seawater, and incubated at 25 °C. Colonies that had a 91 fungus-like appearance were selected for further isolation procedures. The isolation procedure 92 was conducted several times to obtain a pure colony appearance using PDA agar plates. 93 Isolated fungus-like strains were designated strains MS1–MS16. 94 95 Phylogenetic analyses 96 5 97 Sequence analyses of the 18S rRNA gene, 26S rRNA D1/D2, and ITS regions were conducted. 98 Isolated fungal strains were incubated in PD liquid medium at 30 °C and 120 rpm of shaking 99 for 48 h, and cells were collected by centrifugation (15,000 × g for 10 min). Total DNA was 100 extracted from fungus cells using the FastDNA SPIN Kit for Soil (MP Biomedicals, Solon, 101 OH, USA). DNA fragments of the 18S rRNA gene, 26S rRNA D1/D2, and ITS regions were 102 amplified by polymerase chain reaction with SapphireAmp® Fast PCR Master Mix (Takara 103 Bio, Otsu, Japan). 104 PCR amplification conditions for the 18S rRNA gene were 40 cycles each of 98 °C for 5 s, 105 50 °C for 5 s, and 72 °C for 15 s using the specific primer set NS1 and Fungi18S-R (Table 1) 106 [17]. PCR amplification conditions for the 26S rRNA D1/D2 region were 40 cycles each of 107 98 °C for 5 s, 56 °C for 5 s, and 72 °C for 15 s using the specific primer set NL1and NL4 108 (Table 1) [18]. PCR amplification conditions for the ITS regions were 40 cycles each of 98 °C 109 for 5 s, 53 °C for 5 s, and 72 °C for 15 s using the specific primer set ITS1 and ITS4 (Table 1) 110 [19]. 111 PCR products were purified using the High Pure PCR Product Purification Kit (Roche 112 Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), and were sequenced using the Applied Biosystems 3730 113 xl DNA Analyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Database searches for 114 similar sequences were conducted using the BLASTN application available at the NCBI 115 website. A multiple sequence alignment was performed using the Clustal Omega program 6 116 available at the EMBL-EBI website. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the 117 neighbor-joining method implemented in MEGA6.0 [20] with 1,000 bootstrap replicates. 118 Smittium imitatum or Dipodascus tetrasporeus was used as an outgroup. The sequences of the 119 18S rRNA gene reported in this study have been deposited in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank 120 databases under the accession numbers LC032042 (strain MS1) to LC032051 (strain MS16), 121 26S rRNA D1/D2 region sequences under LC032052 (strain MS1) to LC032053 (strain MS2), 122 and ITS region sequences under LC032054 (strain MS1) to LC032055 (strain MS2). 123 124 Gas chromatography analysis 125 126 Isolated strains MS1 and MS2 were incubated in the PD liquid medium based on seawater at 127 30 °C and 120 rpm of shaking for 7 d in 50-ml vials. Head space gases in the vials were 128 injected into a gas chromatography (GC) apparatus of GC-2010 (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).
