Microthia,Holocryphia and Ursicollum,three new genera on Eucalyptus and Coccoloba for fungi previously known as Cryphonectria

Cryphonectria havanensis is a fungus associated with Eucalyptus species in Cuba and Florida (U.S.A.). Until recently, there have been no living cultures of C. havanensis and it has thus not been possible to assess its taxonomic status. Isolates thought to represent this fungus have, however, emerged from surveys of Eucalyptus in Mexico and Hawaii (U.S.A.). Results of this study showed that these isolates represent C. havanensis but reside in a genus distinct from Cryphonectria sensu stricto, which is described here as Microthia. Isolates of an unidentified fungus occurring on Myrica faya in the Azores and Madeira also grouped in Microthia and were identical to other M. havanensis isolates. Cryphonectria coccolobae, a fungus occurring on sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera) in Bermuda and Florida, was found to be morphologically identical to Microthia and is transferred to this genus, but as a distinct species. Surveys for M. coccolobae on sea grape in Florida, yielded a second diaporthalean fungus from this host. This fungus is morphologically and phylogenetically distinct from M. coccolobae and other closely related taxa and is described as Ursicollum fallax gen. et sp. nov. Phylogenetic analyses in this study have also shown that isolates of C. eucalypti, a pathogen of Eucalyptus in South Africa and Australia, group in a clade separate from all other groups including that representing Cryphonectria sensu stricto. This difference is supported by the fact that Cryphonectria eucalypti has ascospore septation different to that of all other Cryphonectria species. A new genus, Holocryphia, is thus erected for C. eucalypti.Taxonomic novelties: Microthia Gryzenh. & M.J. Wingf. gen. nov., Microthia havanensis (Bruner) Gryzenh. & M.J.

Phylogenetic reassessment of Mycosphaerella spp. and their anamorphs occurring on Eucalyptus. II.

Species of Eucalyptus are widely planted as exotics in the tropics and Southern Hemisphere and to some extent in southern Europe, for timber and fibre production. Species of Mycosphaerella are commonly associated with leaves and twigs of Eucalyptus and can result in defoliation, dieback, and even tree death. In the present study, numerous isolates of Mycosphaerella species were collected from leaf litter, living leaves exhibiting leaf spot symptoms or severe Mycosphaerella leaf blotch symptoms. Isolates were compared based on DNA sequence data for the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1 & ITS2) and the 5.8S gene. These data, together with characteristics of the fungal growth on three different media, morphology of the anamorph and teleomorph structures as well as ascospore germination patterns were used to describe 21 new species.Taxonomic novelties: Colletogloeopsis stellenboschiana Crous sp. nov., Mycosphaerella davisoniellae Crous sp. nov.

Studies on some edible wild mushrooms from Nigeria: 1. Nutritional,teratogenic and toxic considerations

The biological value of 5 mushroomsChlorophyllum molybditis, Psathyrella atroumbonata, Termitomyces robustus, Termitomyces striatus andVolvariella esculenta from our collection of wild edible mushrooms were determined using weanling rats.C. molybditis supported rapid growth with PER (2.63) higher than the casein control (2.50).P. atroumbonata was average in biological performance (PER 1.50) whileT. robustus andV. esculenta did not support growth at all. Rats onT. striatus dried at 60°C for 48 h lost weight rapidly and showed pathological signs of toxicity by the second day. All rats on this died died by the fourth day of the experiment. When the diet ofT. striatus dried at 90°C for about 8 h was fed, the rats gained weight marginally but all survived. Prolonged storage ofT. striatus at 60°C for 5–8 weeks also seemed to detoxify the poisonous component such thatPER andNPR values were 0.8 and 2.0 respectively. 2 pairs each of adult rats fedC. molybditis andTricholoma lobayensis diets for 10 days were mated. Rats ofC. molybditis diet gave 5 and 6 litters each and only one of these litters seemed to have retarded growth. Rats onT. lobayensis diet did not produce any litters for 14 weeks but the female produced off-spring when mated with control male rats.

Pharmacological studies on varieties of tobacco: Nicotiana sylvestris,N. tabacum x N. sylvestris F1, N. tabacum N. x sylvestris amphidiploid and tobacco from cigarettes

The crossing of common tobaccos(Nicotiana tabacum) withN. sylvestris results in tobacco hybrids which have less markedly expressed hypertensive effects both in the intravenous injection of aqueous extracts and in the smoking of cigarettes by the experimental animals in comparison with common bulgarian cigarettes. It is further found that tobacco hybrids are much less toxic. It is assumed that cigarettes produced from these tobacco hybrids will be comparatively less deleterious than ordinary cigarettes.

Zusammenfassung Kreuzung des gewöhnlichen Tabaks(Nicotiana tabacum) mitN. sylvestris ergibt Hybriden, die deutlich geringere hypertonische Wirkungen im Tierversuch zeigten und zwar sowohl bei intravenöser Injektion wässriger Extrakte als auch im Rauchversuch mit Zigaretten im Vergleich zu Kontrollen (handelsübliche bulgarische Zigaretten).Ferner wurde gefunden, daß Tabakhybriden viel weniger toxisch sind. Es ist anzunehmen, daß Zigaretten, die aus Hybridtabak hergestellt werden, vergleichsweise weniger schädlich sind als herkömmliche Zigaretten.

Résumé Le croisement de tabacs ordinaires avecN. sylvestris contribue à l'obtention de tabacs-hybrides qui, lors de l'injection veineuse d'extraits aqueux et de la respiration de la fumée de cigarettes par des animaux expérimentaux, manifestent des effets hypertensifs moins prononcés que les cigarettes ordinaires. Il a été établi, en outre, que la toxicité des tabacs-hybrides est sensiblement moindre que celle des tabacs ordinaires. On admet, en conséquence, que les cigarettes préparées avec ces tabacs-hybrides seraient relativement moins nocives que les cigarettes ordinaires.

     

栽培因子对大豆生长发育及群体产量的影响Ⅱ. 肥水、生长调控措施对产量的影响

研究了影响大豆产量的栽培因子——肥水、化控、化调、掐顶对大豆器官的生长发育和养分(NPK)吸收、生化指标、株型性状和群体产量的影响。结果表明：苗期肥水促进中期中部器官(叶、柄、茎节)的生长，花期肥水促进中后期上部器官(叶、柄、茎节)的生长；不同时期追施氮肥、磷肥，显著促进大豆相应生长中心器官对养分的吸收，追施氮肥不仅氮素含量增加，还有“以氮促磷”、“以氮促钾”的作用，并呈现出随着追肥期的推迟籽粒蛋白质含量增加的趋势；夏大豆最佳追肥时期是初花至花后10d，比对照增产15．6％～24．2％。多效唑化控，株高降低，叶片变小，籽粒产量有增有减。试验6种生长调节剂，“华孚”增产显著，增产5．8％。     

Effects of homogenization pressure and stabilizers on some physical characteristics of a beverage prepared from partially defatted, roasted peanuts

A low-fat beverage with roasted peanut flavor was developed from peanuts. The potential milk substitute contained 11.8% total solids, 2.0% fat and 3.7% protein, and was whitish orange-yellow in color. The effects of stabilizing additives and homogenization pressure (13.8×10⁶ Pa or 41.4×10⁶ Pa) on selected physical characteristics were determined. Suspension stability was improved by addition of carrageenan [Benlacta CM61-B (CM), 0.02–0.04%] or a hydrogenated mono- and diglyceride [Emuldan HV52K (HV, 0.2–0.4%)]. Homogenizing at 41.4×10⁶ Pa increased viscosity of all samples except that of the controls but did not improve the suspension stability (top:bottom solids) of the beverage. The most viscous formulations (17.5±0.95 cps) were those containing 0.04% CM. Treatments yielding the best combination, compared to cow's milk values, of high suspension stability (0.5±0.03, where 1.0=maximum stability) and low viscosity (3.7±0.89 cps) were those containing 0.2% HV which were homogenized at 13.8×10⁶ Pa.     

Biodegradable and biocompatible biomaterial, polyhydroxybutyrate, produced by an indigenous Vibrio sp. BM-1 isolated from marine environment

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is one of the polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) which has biodegradable and biocompatible properties. They are adopted in the biomedical field, in, for example, medical implants and drug delivery carriers. This study seeks to promote the production of PHB by Vibrio sp. BM-1, isolated from a marine environment by improving constituents of medium and implementing an appropriate fermentation strategy. This study successfully developed a glycerol-yeast extract-tryptone (GYT) medium that can facilitate the growth of Vibrio sp. BM-1 and lead to the production of 1.4 g/L PHB at 20 h cultivation. This study also shows that 1.57 g/L PHB concentration and 16% PHB content were achieved, respectively, when Vibrio sp. BM-1 was cultivated with MS-GYT medium (mineral salts-supplemented GYT medium) for 12 h. Both cell dry weight (CDW) and residual CDW remained constant at around 8.2 g/L and 8.0 g/L after the 12 h of cultivation, until the end of the experiment. However, both 16% of PHB content and 1.57 g/L of PHB production decreased rapidly to 3% and 0.25 g/L, respectively from 12 h of cultivation to 40 h of cultivation. The results suggest that the secretion of PHB depolymerase that might be caused by the addition of mineral salts reduced PHB after 12 h of cultivation. However, work will be done to explain the effect of adding mineral salts on the production of PHB by Vibrio sp. BM-1 in the near future.     

栽培因子对大豆生长发育及群体产量的影响Ⅰ. 播期、密度、行株距(配置方式)对产量的影响

通过5年10项次的系列试验,研究了影响大豆产量的栽培因子的单因素、多因素对大豆器官生长发育和群体产量的影响,分析了栽培因子的实施效应。播期、密度、行株距配置试验研究结果表明:一般夏大豆品种较早播种,生长稳健,分枝、有效荚数和单株粒重增加,有利于高产;不同株型类型品种的适宜密度有显著差异,主茎型>分枝紧凑型>分枝松散型,在适宜密度条件下均可达到较高产量水平;缩小行距,有利于增加群体数量,叶面积指数增加;适当增加株距,有利于改善单株生育状况和后期透光条件,提高单株生产力。因此,夏大豆产区实现田间最佳分布措施是缩小行距,扩大株距。

Relationships between disease levels on seed tubers,on crops during growth and in stored potatoes. 1. Introduction and black scurf

Summary In the Introduction general methods are described to assess inocolum of several potato diseases on seed tubers; on the progeny tubers during growth, at harvest and after 4 different storage regimes. Assessments were made in up to 26 commercial King Edward crops in each of 5 years, and up to 13 crops from ‘healthier’ seed, derived from stem cuttings, in 4 years. Results are reported from the work on black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani). Stem canker incidence was more closely related to the incidence of sclerotia on seed tubers than was the frequency ofRhizoctonia hyphae on growing tuber surfaces. Incidence of sclerotia on stored tubers was better related to the amount of surface colonization during growth than that of stem canker. Assessments on harvested and stored progeny of ‘healthier’ seed were correlated with those on adjacent commercial crops, indicating spread or, more likely, a common source of inocolum.

Zusammenfassung In einer Studie wurde das Auftreten verschiedener Krankheiten im Erntegut der Sorte King Edward untersucht, die zwischen 1971 und 1975 in dem Fenland-Gebiet von Ostengland gewachsen war. Jedes Jahr wurden zwischen 15 und 26 Proben von Marktware untersucht und zwischen 1972 und 1975 wurde ‘gesünderes’ Pflanzgut (das von Stecklingen abstammte) auf dem selben Feld wie einige der Proben der Marktware gepflanzt (Tab. 1). Die Feststellung des Inokulums oder der Krankheit wurde an Pflanzgutproben, an Pflanzen w?hrend des Wachstums und an Knollen der Nachkommenschaft zum Erntezeitpunkt genommen. Geerntete Knollen wurden auch einheitlich verletzt und bei 3°C und 10°C gelagert, mit oder ohne zweiw?chige Wundheilperiode bei 15°C. Nach 3–4 Monaten erfolgte die Feststellung des Krankheitsbefalls. Die Auswertung der Ergebnisse wurde durch Regression zwischen allen m?glichen Paaren der Ergebnisse für jede Krankheit durchgeführt, wobei jedes Jahr sowohl getrennt als auch alle Jahre kombiniert genommen wurden. Die Regressionen wurden auch für das ‘gesündere’ Erntegut, das mit der entsprechenden Marktware übereinstimmte, durchgeführt. Rhizoctonia solani wurde auf dem Pflanzgut und auf dem nachfolgenden Erntegut als Prozentbefall mit Sklerotien angegeben, der Myzelbelag auf der Knollenoberfl?che rund um die Augen wurde durch mikroskopische Untersuchung von Augenstücken festgestellt und das Auftreten von Weisshosigkeit wurde w?hrend des Wachstums gesch?tzt. Das durchschnittliche Auftreten von Inokulum oder Krankheitsbefall auf Marktware (Tab. 2) zeigte, dass 1975 der Befall der Augen am h?ufigsten war und dass 1971 und 1975 der Krankheitsbefall im Lager am gr?ssten war. ‘Gesünderes’ Pflanzgut hatte gew?hnlich weniger Pocken als der Durchschnitt der Marktware aber der Befall der Augen der Tochterknollen w?hrend des Wachstums und zur Ernte war gr?sser und auf gelagerten Knollen wurden mehr Pocken gefunden (Tab. 3). Unter den nassen Erntebedingungen 1974 traten mehr Pocken auf den bei 10°C gelagerten Knollen auf als auf den bei 3°C, aber es ergaben sich keine Unterschiede in anderen Jahren. Die Signifikanz der Regressionen zwischen den Erhebungen, die nach verschiedenen Methoden oder zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten (Tab. 4) gemacht wurden und Diagramme der signifikanten Regressionen in einzelnen Jahren (Abb. 1) zeigten, dass makroskopische und mikroskopische Bestimmungen auf dem Pflanzgut (Abb. la) und Befall der Schale rund um die Augen und Weisshosigkeit w?hrend des Wachstums (Abb. 1d) in allen Jahren miteinander verbunden waren. Die Weisshosigkeit stand h?ufiger in Beziehung zum Ausmass des Pockenbesatzes des Pflanzgutes (Abb. 1b) als der Befall der Augen (Abb. 1c). Dies führt zu der Annahme, dass die meisten Stengelinfektionen vom Inokulum des Pflanzgutes ausgingen w?hrend der Befall der Schale rund um die Augen auch durch andere Inokulumquellen (z.B. den Boden) beeinflusst wurden. Der Befall der Augen zur Ernte stand in jedem Jahr in Beziehung zum Befall w?hrend des Wachstums (Abb. 1e) und in 4 Jahren stand das Ausmass des Pockenbesatzes auf gelagerten Knollen in Beziehung zum Augenbefall w?hrend des Wachstums und zur Ernte (Abb. 1f und 1g). Die mikroskopische Untersuchung w?hrend des Wachstums gibt daher eine vernünftige Sch?tzung des Krankheitsbefalls im Lager. Wenn die Erhebungen des ‘gesünderen’ Pflanzgutes mit denen gleichartiger Marktware verglichen wurden (Abb. 2), ergaben sich signifikante Verbindungen für den Augenbefall w?hrend des Wachstums und zur Ernte, für den Pockenbesatz auf gelagerten Knollen, aber nicht für die Weisshosigkeit. Dies weist auf eine Verbreitung des Inokulums, auf die Bedeutung der allgemeinen Bodenbeschaffenheit oder, wahrscheinlicher, eine gemeinsame Quelle des Inokulums, vielleicht im Boden hin.

Résumé Une étude a été entreprise sur la variété King Edward, pour conna?tre l'incidence de différentes maladies. Cette étude s'est déroulée de 1971 à 1975 dans la région de Fenland en Angleterre Orientale. Chaque année, on a examiné entre 15 et 26 lots commerciaux; entre 1972 et 1975 des semences ‘plus saines’ (provenant de bouturage) ont été plantées dans le même champ que les lots commerciaux (tableau 1). Les estimations d'inoculum ou de maladie ont été faites sur des échantillons de tubercules de semence, sur des plantes en course de croissance, et sur les tubercules-fils à la récolte. Les tubercules-fils récoltés ont été également endommagés de manière uniforme et conservés à 3°C et 10°C, avec ou sans période initiale de cicatrisation des blessures de 2 semaines à 15°C. L'incidence de la maladie a été estimé après 3–4 mois. Les résultats ont été analysés par régressions entre toutes les paires possibles de données pour chaque maladie, en prenant séparément chaque année et toutes les années combinées. Les régressions ont aussi été faites à partir des estimations provenant des lots ‘plus sains’, et des estimations correspondantes provenant des lots commerciaux adjacents. L'estimation du rhizoctone a été faite par notation du pourcentage de sclérotes sur les tubercules de semence et sur les tubercules-fils en conservation. La colonisation de la peau, autour des yeux, par du mycelium deRhizoctonia solani a été déterminée par examen microscopique au niveau des yeux. L'incidence des nécroses sur tige a été estimée au cours de la croissance. L'incidence moyenne de l'inoculum ou de la maladie sur les lots commerciaux (tableau 2) a montré que la colonisation du tubercule au niveau des yeux a été plus fréquente en 1975, et que l'incidence de la maladie en cours de conservation a été plus forte en 1971 et 1975. Les tubercules de semence ‘plus saine’ ont eu moins de rhizoctone que la moyenne des lots commerciaux, mais la colonisation des tubercules-fils, au niveau des yeux pendant la période de croissance et à la récolte a été plus grande. On a également trouvé plus de sclérotes sur les tubercules conservés (tableau 3). En 1974, les conditions de récolte étant plus humides, il y avait plus de sclérotes sur les tubercules conservés à 10°C que sur ceux conservés à 3°C; mais, pour les autres années, il n'y avait aucune différence entre les traitements. La signification des régressions entre les estimations faites par différentes méthodes ou à différentes époques (tableau 4), et les graphiques relatifs aux régressions significatives pour chacune des années (Fig. 1) ont montré qu'il y avait toutes les années des relations entre les estimations macroscopiques et microscopiques sur la semence (Fig. 1 a), la colonisation de la peau autour des yeux et les nécroses des tiges en cours de végétation (Fig. 1d). Les nécroses sur tige étaient plus fréquemment en rapport avec les sclérotes portés par la semence (Fig. 1b) qu'ac la colonisation au niveau des yeux du tubercule (Fig. 1c). Les auteurs suggèrent donc que la plupart de la contamination de la tige provient de l'inoculum présent sur le tubercule de semence mais que la colonisation de la peau autour des yeux est également influencée par d'autres sources d'inoculum (par ex. le sol). Chaque année, la colonisation des yeux à la récolte était en relation avec celle en cours de croissance (Fig. 1c). Pour les 4 années, la quantité de sclérotes sur les tubercules conservés était en rapport avec l'incidence de la colonisation au niveau des yeux pendant la croissance et à la récolte (Figures 1f et 1g). Les estimations faites en cours de croissance donne donc une estimation correcte de l'incidence de la maladie en cours de conservation. Quand on compare les résultats des lots ‘plus sains’ et ceux des lots commerciaux adjacents, il y a des associations significatives pour la colonisation des yeux durant la croissance et à la récolte, pour les sclérotes sur les tubercules conservés, mais pas pour les nécroses sur tige. Ceci suggère la dispersion de l'inoculum, l'importance des conditions de sol ou plus vraisemblablement la présence d'une source commune d'inoculum au niveau du sol.

Kurilosides A1, A2, C1, D,E and F—Triterpene Glycosides from the Far Eastern Sea Cucumber Thyonidium (= Duasmodactyla) kurilensis (Levin): Structures with Unusual Non-Holostane Aglycones and Cytotoxicities

Six new monosulfated triterpene tetra-, penta- and hexaosides, namely, the kurilosides A₁ (1), A₂ (2), C₁ (3), D (4), E (5) and F (6), as well as the known earlier kuriloside A (7), having unusual non-holostane aglycones without lactone, have been isolated from the sea cucumber Thyonidium (= Duasmodactyla) kurilensis (Levin) (Cucumariidae, Dendrochirotida), collected in the Sea of Okhotsk near Onekotan Island from a depth of 100 m. Structures of the glycosides were established by 2D NMR spectroscopy and HR-ESI mass spectrometry. Kurilosides of the groups A and E contain carbohydrate moieties with a rare architecture (a pentasaccharide branched by C(4) Xyl1), differing from each other in the second monosaccharide residue (quinovose or glucose, correspondingly); kurilosides of the group C are characterized by a unique tetrasaccharide branched by a C(4) Xyl1 sugar chain; and kurilosides of the groups D and F are hexaosides differing from each other in the presence of an O-methyl group in the fourth (terminal) sugar unit. All these glycosides contain a sulfate group at C-6 of the glucose residue attached to C-4 Xyl1 and the non-holostane aglycones have a 9(11) double bond and lack γ-lactone. The cytotoxic activities of compounds 1–7 against mouse neuroblastoma Neuro 2a, normal epithelial JB-6 cells and erythrocytes were studied. Kuriloside A₁ (1) was the most active compound in the series, demonstrating strong cytotoxicity against the erythrocytes and JB-6 cells and a moderate effect against Neuro 2a cells.     

Pyranodipyran Derivatives with Tyrosyl DNA Phosphodiesterase 1 Inhibitory Activities and Fluorescent Properties from Aspergillus sp. EGF 15-0-3

Four new benzodipyran racemates, namely (±)-aspergiletals A–D (3–6), representing a rare pyrano[4,3-h]chromene scaffold were isolated together with eurotiumide G (1) and eurotiumide F (2) from the soft-coral-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. EGF 15-0-3. All the corresponding optically pure enantiomers were successfully separated by a chiral HPLC column. The structures and configurations of all the compounds were elucidated based on the combination of NMR and HRESIMS data, chiral separation, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, quantum chemical ¹³C NMR, and electronic circular dichroism calculations. Meanwhile, the structure of eurotiumide G was also revised. The TDP1 inhibitor activities and photophysical properties of the obtained compounds were evaluated. In the TDP1 inhibition assay, as a result of synergy between (+)-6 and (−)-6, (±)-6 displayed strong inhibitory activity to TDP1 with IC₅₀ values of 6.50 ± 0.73 μM. All compounds had a large Stokes shift and could be utilized for elucidating the mode of bioactivities by fluorescence imaging.     

Saccharobisindole,Neoasterric Methyl Ester,and 7-Chloro-4(1H)-quinolone: Three New Compounds Isolated from the Marine Bacterium Saccharomonospora sp.

Analysis of the chemical components from the culture broth of the marine bacterium Saccharomonospora sp. CNQ-490 has yielded three novel compounds: saccharobisindole (1), neoasterric methyl ester (2), and 7-chloro-4(1H)-quinolone (3), in addition to acremonidine E (4), pinselin (5), penicitrinon A (6), and penicitrinon E (7). The chemical structures of the three novel compounds were elucidated by the interpretation of 1D, 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data. Compound 2 generated weak inhibition activity against Bacillus subtilis KCTC2441 and Staphylococcus aureus KCTC1927 at concentrations of 32 μg/mL and 64 μg/mL, respectively, whereas compounds 1 and 3 did not have any observable effects. In addition, compound 2 displayed weak anti-quorum sensing (QS) effects against S. aureus KCTC1927 and Micrococcus luteus SCO560.     

Hierridin B Isolated from a Marine Cyanobacterium Alters VDAC1, Mitochondrial Activity,and Cell Cycle Genes on HT-29 Colon Adenocarcinoma Cells

Background: Hierridin B was isolated from a marine cyanobacterium Cyanobium sp. strain and induced cytotoxicity selectively in HT-29 adenocarcinoma cells. The underlying molecular mechanism was not yet elucidated. Methods: HT-29 cells were exposed to the IC₅₀ concentration of hierridin B (100.2 μM) for 48 h. Non-targeted proteomics was performed using 2D gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. The mRNA expression of apoptotic and cell cycle genes were analyzed by real-time PCR. Automated quantification of 160 cytoplasm and mitochondrial parameter was done by fluorescence microscopy using CellProfiler software. Results: Proteomics identified 21 significant different proteins, which belonged to protein folding/synthesis and cell structure amongst others. Increase of VDAC1 protein responsible for formation of mitochondrial channels was confirmed by mRNA expression. A 10-fold decrease of cytoskeleton proteins (STMN1, TBCA) provided a link to alterations of the cell cycle. CCNB1 and CCNE mRNA were decreased two-fold, and P21CIP increased 10-fold, indicative of cell cycle arrest. Morphological analysis of mitochondrial parameter confirmed a reduced mitochondrial activity. Conclusion: Hierridin B is a potential anticancer compound that targets mitochondrial activity and function.     

AhaP,A Quorum Quenching Acylase from Psychrobacter sp. M9-54-1 That Attenuates Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio coralliilyticus Virulence

Although Psychrobacter strain M9-54-1 had been previously isolated from the microbiota of holothurians and shown to degrade quorum sensing (QS) signal molecules C6 and C10-homoserine lactone (HSL), little was known about the gene responsible for this activity. In this study, we determined the whole genome sequence of this strain and found that the full 16S rRNA sequence shares 99.78–99.66% identity with Psychrobacter pulmonis CECT 5989^T and P. faecalis ISO-46^T. M9-54-1, evaluated using the agar well diffusion assay method, showed high quorum quenching (QQ) activity against a wide range of synthetic N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHLs) at 4, 15, and 28 °C. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass-spectrometry (HPLC-MS) confirmed that QQ activity was due to an AHL-acylase. The gene encoding for QQ activity in strain M9-54-1 was identified from its genome sequence whose gene product was named AhaP. Purified AhaP degraded substituted and unsubstituted AHLs from C4- to C14-HSL. Furthermore, heterologous expression of ahaP in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 reduced the expression of the QS-controlled gene lecA, encoding for a cytotoxic galactophilic lectin and swarming motility protein. Strain M9-54-1 also reduced brine shrimp mortality caused by Vibrio coralliilyticus VibC-Oc-193, showing potential as a biocontrol agent in aquaculture.
