Eremophilane-Type Sesquiterpenes from a Marine-Derived Fungus Penicillium Copticola with Antitumor and Neuroprotective Activities

Chemical examination of a marine sponge-associated Penicillium copticola fungus resulted in the isolation of ten undescribed eremophilanes, namely copteremophilanes A–J (1–10), along with two new glycosides, 5-glycopenostatin F (11) and 5-glucopenostatin I (12). Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data, in association with ECD data and chemical conversions for configurational assignments. Analogs 1, 2, and 10 represent a group of uncommon skeletons of eremophilanes with an aromatic ring and a methyl migration from C-5 to C-9, and analogs 11 and 12 are characteristic of a PKS scaffold bearing a glucose unit. The incorporation of a chlorinated phenylacetic unit in 3–9 is rarely found in nature. Analog 7 showed neuroprotective effect, whereas 8 exhibited selective inhibition against human non-small cell lung cancer cells (A549). This study enriched the chemical diversity of eremophilanes and extended their bioactivities to neuroprotection.     

杨梅衰弱病根际土壤真菌的定量检测与分析

 杨梅衰弱病在杨梅主产区发生严重,但其成因尚未明确。为明确根际土壤真菌与衰弱病的相关性,本研究以来自仙居、临海和兰溪3个不同地区的健康植株和衰弱植株的根际土壤为材料,利用实时荧光定量PCR技术,对14种与连作障碍相关的土壤真菌进行了定量检测与分析。结果表明:杨梅根际真菌群体的含量比较丰富;被孢霉属(Mortierella spp.)和轮枝孢属(Verticillium spp.)在发病植株根际的含量均显著高于健康植株,与杨梅衰弱病呈正相关关系;青霉菌属(Penicillium spp.)在发病植株根际的含量显著低于健康植株,与杨梅衰弱病呈负相关关系。本研究建立了杨梅根际土壤真菌的快速检测体系,明确了健康株和衰弱株根际真菌菌群的差异,为杨梅衰弱病的研究和病害防控提供参考。     

灰黄青霉CF3对马铃薯土传病原真菌的拮抗性及其促生作用

为探索灰黄青霉Penicillium griseofulvum CF3对马铃薯土传病害病原真菌立枯丝核菌Rhizoctonia solani、茄病镰刀菌Fusariumsolani、硫色镰刀菌F.sulphureum及大丽轮枝菌Verticillium dahliae的拮抗性及对马铃薯的促生作用,采用菌丝生长速率法和甜瓜种子发芽法分别研究了CF3发酵液对病原菌菌丝的抑制作用、对立枯丝核菌微菌核形成的影响及其发酵液的促生作用,并采用盆栽试验法研究了CF3孢子粉对马铃薯植株的促生作用及对抗逆性的影响.CF3发酵滤液对4株病原真菌菌丝生长的抑菌率达53％～72.1％,对立枯丝核菌微菌核的抑制率达36.8％～100％,并显著促进甜瓜种子胚根、胚轴生长.灰黄青霉孢子粉拌土和包衣接种均能促进马铃薯植株生长并增强植株的抗逆性.其中,拌土接种使马铃薯地上植株鲜重和多酚氧化酶活性较对照分别增加38.3％和9％,丙二醛含量降低28.8％.研究表明灰黄青霉CF3对连作马铃薯常见土传真菌病害有较强的生防潜力,对马铃薯具有良好的促生作用.     

Paspalines C–D and Paxillines B–D: New Indole Diterpenoids from Penicillium brefeldianum WZW-F-69

Five new indole diterpenoids named paspaline C–D (1–2) and paxilline B–D (3–5), as well as eleven known analogues (6–16), were identified from fungus Penicillium brefeldianum strain WZW-F-69, which was isolated from an abalone aquaculture base in Fujian province, China. Their structures were elucidated mainly through 1D- and 2D-NMR spectra analysis and ECD comparison. Compound 1 has a 6/5/5/6/6/8 hexacyclic ring system bearing 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxocane, which is rare in natural products. Compound 2 has an unusual open F-ring structure. The cytotoxic activities against 10 cancer cell lines and antimicrobial activities against model bacteria and fungi of all compounds were assayed. No compound showed antimicrobial activity, but at a concentration of 1 μM, compounds 1 and 6 exhibited the highest inhibition rates of 71.2% and 83.4% against JeKo-1 cells and U2OS cells, respectively.

扩展青霉基因组DNA五种提取方法比较

为寻找一种适合于扩展青霉基因组DNA的提取方法,比较了固体培养、液体静置培养和液体振荡培养3种培养方式的提取效果,分别采用氯化苄法、蜗牛酶法、CTAB法、SDS法及异硫氰酸胍法提取扩展青霉菌基因组DNA,经DNA质量浓度测定及电泳分析,比较5种方法的差异,并利用扩展青霉的多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(Polygalacturonase)基因内一段保守序列,设计PCR引物,扩增大小为288 bp的特异目的基因,检测其灵敏性.结果表明:固体培养的方式较适合扩展青霉基因组DNA的提取,另外5种提取方法均能提取出扩展青霉菌基因组DNA,扩增出目的条带,其中氯化苄法和蜗牛酶法所提DNA的纯度均较好,但蜗牛酶法所提DNA量较少.因此,氯化苄法是5种提取方法中最可靠的DNA提取方法,所提DNA浓度高、纯度好、结果稳定,可作为PCR反应的模板进行特异性扩增,且该方法的最低检测限大约为1.01×10-1μg/mL.     

The use of sodium carbonate to improve curing treatments against green and blue moulds on citrus fruits

The effectiveness of curing oranges and lemons at 33 degrees C for 65h followed by storage under ambient and cold-storage conditions was investigated. This treatment effectively reduced the incidence of Penicillium digitatum (Pers) Sacc and P italicum Wehmer decay on inoculated and naturally infected oranges and lemons stored at 20 degrees C for 7 days. However, it failed to control green and blue mould infections on fruits placed in long-term cold storage, except green mould on oranges, which was effectively controlled. Dipping fruits in a sodium carbonate solution (20 g litre(-1)) for 2.5 min following a curing treatment at 33 degrees C for 65 h satisfactorily reduced green and blue mould incidence during subsequent long-term storage at 4 degrees C on oranges and at 10 degrees C on lemons. The efficacy was greater on injured fruits inoculated after the combination of treatments was applied, achieving a 60-80% reduction in decay in comparison with the curing treatment alone in all cases. A significant reduction of blue mould was also observed on fruits inoculated both before the treatments and on those re-inoculated after the treatments, demonstrating both protectant and eradicant activity. Thus, combining curing at 33 degrees C for 65 h with sodium carbonate treatment effectively controlled these post-harvest diseases on artificially inoculated citrus fruits and protected against re-infection. With naturally inoculated lemons, curing followed by sodium carbonate significantly reduced both green and blue mould incidence, but was not superior to curing alone. With naturally infected oranges, curing significantly reduced blue mould, but decay was not reduced further when followed by sodium carbonate treatment.     

Anthraquinones and Their Analogues from Marine-Derived Fungi: Chemistry and Biological Activities

Anthraquinones are an interesting chemical class of polyketides since they not only exhibit a myriad of biological activities but also contribute to managing ecological roles. In this review article, we provide a current knowledge on the anthraquinoids reported from marine-derived fungi, isolated from various resources in both shallow waters such as mangrove plants and sediments of the mangrove habitat, coral reef, algae, sponges, and deep sea. This review also tentatively categorizes anthraquinone metabolites from the simplest to the most complicated scaffolds such as conjugated xanthone–anthraquinone derivatives and bianthraquinones, which have been isolated from marine-derived fungi, especially from the genera Apergillus, Penicillium, Eurotium, Altenaria, Fusarium, Stemphylium, Trichoderma, Acremonium, and other fungal strains. The present review, covering a range from 2000 to 2021, was elaborated through a comprehensive literature search using the following databases: ACS publications, Elsevier, Taylor and Francis, Wiley Online Library, MDPI, Springer, and Thieme. Thereupon, we have summarized and categorized 296 anthraquinones and their derivatives, some of which showed a variety of biological properties such as enzyme inhibition, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antitubercular (against Mycobacterium tuberculosis), cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antifouling, and antioxidant activities. In addition, proposed biogenetic pathways of some anthraquinone derivatives are also discussed.
