  • Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and Cereal-Derived Food Products: Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, and Control Strategies
    agronomy Review Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and Cereal-Derived Food Products: Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, and Control Strategies Sofia Agriopoulou Department of Food Science and Technology, University of the Peloponnese, Antikalamos, 24100 Kalamata, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-27210-45271 Abstract: Ergot alkaloids (EAs) are a group of mycotoxins that are mainly produced from the plant pathogen Claviceps. Claviceps purpurea is one of the most important species, being a major producer of EAs that infect more than 400 species of monocotyledonous plants. Rye, barley, wheat, millet, oats, and triticale are the main crops affected by EAs, with rye having the highest rates of fungal infection. The 12 major EAs are ergometrine (Em), ergotamine (Et), ergocristine (Ecr), ergokryptine (Ekr), ergosine (Es), and ergocornine (Eco) and their epimers ergotaminine (Etn), egometrinine (Emn), egocristinine (Ecrn), ergokryptinine (Ekrn), ergocroninine (Econ), and ergosinine (Esn). Given that many food products are based on cereals (such as bread, pasta, cookies, baby food, and confectionery), the surveillance of these toxic substances is imperative. Although acute mycotoxicosis by EAs is rare, EAs remain a source of concern for human and animal health as food contamination by EAs has recently increased. Environmental conditions, such as low temperatures and humid weather before and during flowering, influence contamination agricultural products by EAs, contributing to the Citation: Agriopoulou, S. Ergot Alkaloids Mycotoxins in Cereals and appearance of outbreak after the consumption of contaminated products. The present work aims to Cereal-Derived Food Products: present the recent advances in the occurrence of EAs in some food products with emphasis mainly Characteristics, Toxicity, Prevalence, on grains and grain-based products, as well as their toxicity and control strategies.

Cellulose is also the most abundant organic polymer on earth. Cellulose digestion yields simple sugars that can be used to produce biofuels. Cellulose breaks down to form compounds like hemicelluloses and lignins that are useful in energy production. Industrial cellulolysis is a process that involves multiple acidic and thermal treatments that are harsh and intensive.

Cultivation of fungal cultures on solid medium allowed the isolation of two novel tryptoquivaline-like metabolites, tryptoquialanine A (1) and tryptoquialanine B (2), also biosynthesized on citrus fruits. Their structural elucidation is described on the basis of their spectroscopic data, including those from 2D NMR experiments. The analysis of the biomass sterols led to the identification of 8-12. Fungal infection on the natural substrates induced the release of citrus monoterpenes together with fungal volatiles. The host-pathogen interaction in nature and the possible biological role of citrus volatiles are also discussed.

  • New Xerophilic Species of Penicillium from Soil
    Journal of Fungi Article New Xerophilic Species of Penicillium from Soil Ernesto Rodríguez-Andrade, Alberto M. Stchigel * and José F. Cano-Lira Mycology Unit, Medical School and IISPV, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), Sant Llorenç 21, Reus, 43201 Tarragona, Spain; [email protected] (E.R.-A.); [email protected] (J.F.C.-L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-977-75-9341 Abstract: Soil is one of the main reservoirs of fungi. The aim of this study was to study the richness of ascomycetes in a set of soil samples from Mexico and Spain. Fungi were isolated after 2% w/v phenol treatment of samples. In that way, several strains of the genus Penicillium were recovered. A phylogenetic analysis based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS), beta-tubulin (BenA), calmodulin (CaM), and RNA polymerase II subunit 2 gene (rpb2) sequences showed that four of these strains had not been described before. Penicillium melanosporum produces monoverticillate conidiophores and brownish conidia covered by an ornate brown sheath. Penicillium michoacanense and Penicillium siccitolerans produce sclerotia, and their asexual morph is similar to species in the section Aspergilloides (despite all of them pertaining to section Lanata-Divaricata). P. michoacanense differs from P. siccitol- erans in having thick-walled peridial cells (thin-walled in P. siccitolerans). Penicillium sexuale differs from Penicillium cryptum in the section Crypta because it does not produce an asexual morph. Its ascostromata have a peridium composed of thick-walled polygonal cells, and its ascospores are broadly lenticular with two equatorial ridges widely separated by a furrow. All four new species are xerophilic.

  • Biosynthesis of Ergot Alkaloids by Penicillium Citrinum Through Surface Culture Fermentation Process
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 47(2), pp. 361-365, 2015. Biosynthesis of Ergot Alkaloids by Penicillium citrinum through Surface Culture Fermentation Process Memuna Ghafoor Shahid,1,* Safdar Ali1 and Muhammad Nadeem2 1Botany Department, GC University, Lahore 2FBRC, PCSIR Laboratories Complex, Lahore Abstract.- The present study deals with the production of ergot alkaloids from Penicillium sp. IIB and the optimization of culture conditions for enhanced production of ergot alkaloids. The strain of Penicillium citrinum was proved to be considerably useful for biotechnological purposes. The effect of temperature, pH, tryptophan, asparagine, different supplementary nitrogen and carbon sources and KH2PO4 on ergot alkaloids production was optimized during the study. Ergot alkaloids were produced between 23°C and 30°C incubation temperatures, with maximum yield (2.01 g/l) at 25°C. Maximum ergot alkaloid production was achieved at pH 5 (2 mg/l) with maximum incubation period of 21 days. Key words: Ergot alkaloids, culture conditions, Penicillium species. INTRODUCTION through which one can enhance the yield of ergot alkaloids in the fermentation medium. Ergot alkaloids are indole metabolic MATERIALS AND METHODS compounds with specific biological activities (Schardl et al., 2006). Human recognition of ergot Fungal strain alkaloids is as old as the civilization. The Penicillium citrinum was obtained from compounds have been widely used as drugs and in Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, GC medicines to cure different human diseases.

    GuideClassification to Common Mold Types Hazard Class A: includes fungi or their metabolic products that are highly hazardous to health. These fungi or metabolites should not be present in occupied dwellings. Presence of these fungi in occupied buildings requires immediate attention.
