Effect of chemical compounds on amino acid content of some Fusarium species and its significance to fungal chemotaxonomy

The cellular amino acid profiles of nine species of Fusarium; namely, Fusarium anthophilum, Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium cerealis, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium graminum, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans, Fusarium pseudograminearum, Fusarium roseum, and Fusariumsacchari var. elongatum growing on malt extract medium were determined. The amino acid profiles of the investigated fungi were varied and could be used for identification and characterisation of certain Fusarium species. Addition of certain chemical compounds including aspartic acid, glutamic acid, methionine, selenium, and urea to the growth medium affected the amino acid profiles. However, susceptibility of amino acid content to environmental conditions increased the variation of amino acid profiles among all the investigated Fusarium species. Some amino acids were only produced when certain chemical compounds were added to the growth medium. Valine was produced by F. anthophilum only in the presence of aspartic acid or selenium, while serine was produced in the presence of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, or methionine. Also, cysteine was produced by F. avenaceum in the presence of glutamic acid or urea. F. cerealis produced tryptophan only in the presence of aspartic acid or urea, while F. graminearum produced leucine in glutamic, methionine or urea. Similarly, many different amino acids were produced by each Fusarium species only in the presence of certain chemical compounds. The results revealed that the amino acid profiles will be more useful for characterisation and identification of fungi if they are determined under different conditions.     

Biotransformation of salvianolic acid B by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cucumerinum and its two degradation routes

Resting cells of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cucumerinum (F. oxsporum) were used for the biotransformation of salvianolic acid B (Sal B). Three transformed products, isolithospermic acid, prolithospermic acid and danshensu, were identified on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic data. The stability of the two ester bonds of Sal B was studied and two degradation routes were found. In the biotransformation system, Sal B was transformed into isolithospermic acid first which was then converted into prolithospermic acid. In alkaline solutions, Sal B was transformed into lithospermic acid first which was then converted into prolithospermic acid. This is the first reports of the NMR spectra of isolithospermic acid and this result may indicate the metabolic pathways of Sal B in vivo.

Compound 3cd exhibited excellent fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, with an EC₅₀ value of 10.9 μg/mL, which was comparable to that of commercial fungicidal triadimefon (EC₅₀ = 6.1 μg/mL). Furthermore, molecular docking study suggested that 3cd had high binding affinities with 1W9U, like argifin.

Ultraweak Luminescence Generated by Sweet Potato and Fusarium oxysporum Interactions Associated with a Defense Response

Abstract— Ultraweak luminescence generated by sweet potato and nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum interactions associated with a defense response was detected by a photoncounting method using ultrahigh-sensitive photodetectors. The time-dependent intensity variation, the spectrum and the two-dimensional imaging of the ultraweak luminescence are indicative of the defense response of the sweet potato to F. oxysporum. The production of ipomeamarone as a phytoalexin means that F. oxysporum induced the defense response in the sweet potato.     

An improved electrochemiluminescence polymerase chain reaction method for the detection of Fusarium wilts

An improved electrochemiluminescence polymerase chain reaction （ECL-PCR） method was developed and applied to detect Fusarium wilt. Briefly, the internal transcribed spacer （ITS） sequence of Fusarium oxysporumf, sp Cubense （FOC） was amplified by PCR. Two universal fragments, which were complimentary to Ru（bpy）3^2＋ （TBR） labeled probe and Biotin labeled probe, respectively, were connected to the tail of primers so that all the PCR products got universal sequences. Then biotin labeled probes and TBR labeled probes were hybridized with the PCR products at the same time. Through the specific interaction between biotin and streptavidin, the PCR products were captured by streptavidin coated magnetic bead and then detected by ECL assay. The experiment results showed that the healthy banana samples and infected ones can be discriminated by this ECL-PCR method. This improved ECL-PCR approach is useful in Fusarium wilt detection due to its high sensitivity, simplicity and stability.     

Composition and antipathogenic activities of the twig essential oil of Chamaecyparis formosensis from Taiwan

In this study, antipathogenic activities of the twig essential oil and its constituents from Chamaecyparis formosensis Matsum were evaluated in vitro against six plant pathogenic fungi. The essential oil from the fresh twigs was isolated using hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus, and characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS. Twenty-five compounds were identified, representing 98.9% of the oil. The main components were beta-eudesmol (25.1%), tau-muurolol (21.6%), elemol (15.0%), totarol (14.9%), and alpha-cadinol (12.4%). The twig oil (500 mcirog/mL) showed growth inhibitory activity against the phytopathogenic fungi, Fusarium oxysporum, Pestalotiopsis funereal, and Ganoderma austral, with antifungal indices of 92.7%, 71.1%, and 87.7%, respectively. In addition, the oil suppressed totally the growth of Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Fusarium solani. In order to ascertain the source compounds of these antipathogenic activities, the main components were individually evaluated. Tau-Muurolol and alpha-cadinol exhibited excellent activity against F. oxysporum, R. solani, C. gloeosporioides, and F. solani, with IC50 < 50 microg/mL. These compounds also efficiently inhibited the mycelial growths of P. funereal and G. austral. Thus, alpha-cadinol and tau-muurolol could be considered as potential natural fungicides for controlling fungal pathogens and worth.     

Synthesis and biological activity of ethyl 2-(5-methyl-3-arylisoxazole-4-carboxamido)-4-alkylthiazole-5-carboxylate

Rapid differentiation of Fusarium oxysporum isolates using PCR-SSCP with the combination of pH-variable electrophoretic medium and low temperature

Differentiation of Fusarium oxysporum is significantly important for unraveling the pathogenetic mechanism of Fusaria wilts. In this study, isolates of F. oxysporum were screened from the soils in the rhizosphere of watermelon plant by Komada medium and differentiated by SSCP approach with the combination of pH-variable electrophoretic medium (Tris-MES-EDTA (TME), pH 6.1) and low temperature (9 degrees C). We found that TME was a good electrophoretic medium and its pH value was variable over the course of electrophoresis in our apparatus. The pH-variable electrophoretic medium made more contribution for the better differentiation of F. oxysporum isolates than low temperature. The combination of TME pH 6.1 and low temperature showed an improved effect on resolution of ssDNAs. Leaving partial nondenatured dsDNA for SSCP was advantageous for differentiation of F. oxysporum isolates. The SSCP patterns of F. oxysporum isolates proved to be highly reproducible. Sequencing data confirmed that this SSCP method could detect one single base change within the 550 bp PCR fragment from the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer region of F. oxysporum.
