    NONLINEAR CONSTRAINT-BASED MODELING OF THE FUNCTION AND EVOLUTION OF C4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Elijah Lane Bogart August 2015 © 2015 Elijah Lane Bogart ALL RIGHTS RESERVED NONLINEAR CONSTRAINT-BASED MODELING OF THE FUNCTION AND EVOLUTION OF C4 PHOTOSYNTHESIS Elijah Lane Bogart, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 C4 plants, such as maize, concentrate carbon dioxide in a specialized compart- ment surrounding the veins of their leaves to improve the efficiency of carbon dioxide assimilation. The C4 photosynthetic system is a key target of efforts to improve crop yield through biotechnology, and its independent development in dozens of plant species widely separated geographically and phylogenetically is an intriguing example of convergent evolution. The availability of extensive high-throughput experimental data from C4 and non-C4 plants, as well as the origin of the biochemical pathways of C4 photosynthesis in the recruitment of enzymatic reactions already present in the ancestral state, makes it natural to study the development, function and evolu- tion of the C4 system in the context of a plant’s complete metabolic network, but the essentially nonlinear relationship between rates of photosynthesis, rates of photorespiration, and carbon dioxide and oxygen levels prevents the appli- cation of conventional, linear methods for genome-scale metabolic modeling to these questions. I present an approach which incorporates nonlinear constraints on reaction rates arising from enzyme kinetics and diffusion laws into flux balance analysis problems, and software to enable it.

  • Review of Oxepine-Pyrimidinone-Ketopiperazine Type Nonribosomal Peptides
    H OH metabolites OH Review Review of Oxepine-Pyrimidinone-Ketopiperazine Type Nonribosomal Peptides Yaojie Guo , Jens C. Frisvad and Thomas O. Larsen * Department of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Technical University of Denmark, Søltofts Plads, Building 221, DK-2800 Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark; [email protected] (Y.G.); [email protected] (J.C.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +45-4525-2632 Received: 12 May 2020; Accepted: 8 June 2020; Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: Recently, a rare class of nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) bearing a unique Oxepine-Pyrimidinone-Ketopiperazine (OPK) scaffold has been exclusively isolated from fungal sources. Based on the number of rings and conjugation systems on the backbone, it can be further categorized into three types A, B, and C. These compounds have been applied to various bioassays, and some have exhibited promising bioactivities like antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi and transcriptional activation on liver X receptor α. This review summarizes all the research related to natural OPK NRPs, including their biological sources, chemical structures, bioassays, as well as proposed biosynthetic mechanisms from 1988 to March 2020. The taxonomy of the fungal sources and chirality-related issues of these products are also discussed. Keywords: oxepine; nonribosomal peptides; bioactivity; biosynthesis; fungi; Aspergillus 1. Introduction Nonribosomal peptides (NRPs), mostly found in bacteria and fungi, are a class of peptidyl secondary metabolites biosynthesized by large modularly organized multienzyme complexes named nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) [1]. These products are amongst the most structurally diverse secondary metabolites in nature; they exhibit a broad range of activities, which have been exploited in treatments such as the immunosuppressant cyclosporine A and the antibiotic daptomycin [2,3].

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Donald H. Pfister Danny Haelewaters STUDIES OF THE LABOULBENIOMYCETES: DIVERSITY, EVOLUTION, AND PATTERNS OF SPECIATION ABSTRACT CHAPTER 1: Laboulbeniales is one of the most morphologically and ecologically distinct orders of Ascomycota. These microscopic fungi are characterized by an ectoparasitic lifestyle on arthropods, determinate growth, lack of asexual state, high species richness and intractability to culture. DNA extraction and PCR amplification have proven difficult for multiple reasons. DNA isolation techniques and commercially available kits are tested enabling efficient and rapid genetic analysis of Laboulbeniales fungi. Success rates for the different techniques on different taxa are presented and discussed in the light of difficulties with micromanipulation, preservation techniques and negative results. CHAPTER 2: The class Laboulbeniomycetes comprises biotrophic parasites associated with arthropods and fungi.

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.

Some metabolites are attractive as drugs or pigments while others act as harmful mycotoxins. Filamentous fungi have the capacity to produce a wide array of secondary metabolites including polyketides. The majority of genes required for production of these metabolites are mostly organized in gene clusters, which often are silent or barely expressed under laboratory conditions, making discovery and analysis difficult.
