The polypore mushroom Irpex lacteus, a new causative agent of fungal infections.

ABSTRACT: Irpex lacteus, a wood-decaying basidiomycete, was isolated from a pulmonary abscess of an immunosuppressed child. This medical strain was compared morphologically and by sequencing of the ribosomal intergenic spacers with specimens from both culture collections and herbarium desiccated material. The patient was treated successfully with amphotericin B.

New Sesquiterpenoids From Plant-Associated <i>Irpex lacteus</i>.

Project description:Bacteria produce a large number of virulence factors through the quorum sensing (QS) mechanism. Inhibiting such QS system of the pathogens without disturbing their growth is a potential strategy to control multi-drug-resistant pathogens. To accomplish this, two new tremulane-type sesquiterpenoids, irpexolaceus H (1) and I (2), along with two known furan compounds, irpexlacte B (3) and C (4), were isolated from Orychophragmus violaceus (L.) OE Schulz endophytic fungus Irpex lacteus (Fr.) Fr. Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic data (NMR, HRESIMS, IR, and UV), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis. Furthermore, those compounds were evaluated for anti-quorum sensing (anti-QS) activity, and compound 3 was found contributing to the potential QS inhibitory activity.

Furan Derivatives and Polyketides from the Fungus Irpex lacteus.

Project description:Eight new furan derivatives, irpexins A‒H (1‒8), two new polyketides, irpexins I and J (9 and 10), together with nine known compounds were isolated from the fermentation of Irpex lacteus. The structures and absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods and Mosher ester reaction. All compounds shows no cytotoxicity to human MCF-7 and Hela cancer cell lines at the concentration of 10 μM.

Characterization of Acetylxylan Esterase from White-Rot Fungus <i>Irpex lacteus</i>.

Project description:The carbohydrate esterase family 1 (CE1) in CAZy contains acetylxylan esterases (AXEs) and feruloyl esterases (FAEs). Here we cloned a gene coding for an AXE belonging to CE1 from Irpex lacteus (IlAXE1). IlAXE1 was heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris, and the recombinant enzyme was purified and characterized. IlAXE1 hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl acetate, α-naphthyl acetate and 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate, however, it did not show any activity on ethyl ferulate and methyl p-coumarate. We also examined the activity on partially acetylated and feruloylated xylan extracted from corncob by hydrothermal reaction. Similarly, ferulic and p-coumaric acids were not liberated, and acetic acid was only detected in the reaction mixture. The results indicated that IlAXE1 is an acetylxylan esterase actually reacted to acetyl xylan. However, since IlAXE1 was unable to completely release acetic acid esterifying xylopyranosyl residues, it is assumed that acetyl groups exhibiting resistance to deacetylation by IlAXE1 are present in corn cob xylan.

Seco-tremulane Sesquiterpenoids from the Cultures of the Medicinal Fungus Irpex lacteus HFG1102.

Project description:Six previously undescribed 5,6-seco-tremulane analogues, together with two known ones, were isolated from the culture broth of the medicinal fungus Irpex lacteus HFG1102. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated via extensive spectroscopic methods, including NMR and HRMS spectroscopic analyses.

Irlactane and Tremulane Sesquiterpenes from the Cultures of the Medicinal Fungus Irpex lacteus HFG1102.

Project description:A new irlactane-type, namely irlactin K (1), and 22 tremulane-type sesquiterpenes including fourteen previously undescribed ones, namely irpexolactins A-N (2-15), and a known irlactane-type sesquiterpenoid, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the medicinal fungus Irpex lacteus HFG1102. The structures of all the isolates were characterized by extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of irlactin K and the known compound conocenol B (20) were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The vasorelaxant effects of irlactin K (1), irpexolactins A (2), C (4), K (12), and irlactam (22) were evaluated.

Extracts of Polypore Mushroom Mycelia Reduce Viruses in Honey Bees.

Project description:Waves of highly infectious viruses sweeping through global honey bee populations have contributed to recent declines in honey bee health. Bees have been observed foraging on mushroom mycelium, suggesting that they may be deriving medicinal or nutritional value from fungi. Fungi are known to produce a wide array of chemicals with antimicrobial activity, including compounds active against bacteria, other fungi, or viruses. We tested extracts from the mycelium of multiple polypore fungal species known to have antiviral properties. Extracts from amadou (Fomes) and reishi (Ganoderma) fungi reduced the levels of honey bee deformed wing virus (DWV) and Lake Sinai virus (LSV) in a dose-dependent manner. In field trials, colonies fed Ganoderma resinaceum extract exhibited a 79-fold reduction in DWV and a 45,000-fold reduction in LSV compared to control colonies. These findings indicate honey bees may gain health benefits from fungi and their antimicrobial compounds.

Deciphering lignocellulose deconstruction by the white rot fungus Irpex lacteus based on genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

Project description:Irpex lacteus is one of the most potent white rot fungi for biological pretreatment of lignocellulose for second biofuel production. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism involved in lignocellulose deconstruction, genomic and transcriptomic analyses were carried out for I. lacteus CD2 grown in submerged fermentation using ball-milled corn stover as the carbon source.Irpex lacteus CD2 efficiently decomposed 74.9% lignin, 86.3% cellulose, and 83.5% hemicellulose in corn stover within 9 days. Manganese peroxidases were rapidly induced, followed by accumulation of cellulase and hemicellulase. Genomic analysis revealed that I. lacteus CD2 possessed a complete set of lignocellulose-degrading enzyme system composed mainly of class II peroxidases, dye-decolorizing peroxidases, auxiliary enzymes, and 182 glycoside hydrolases. Comparative transcriptomic analysis substantiated the notion of a selection mode of degradation. These analyses also suggested that free radicals, derived either from MnP-organic acid interplay or from Fenton reaction involving Fe2+ and H2O2, could play an important role in lignocellulose degradation.The selective strategy employed by I. lacteus CD2, in combination with low extracellular glycosidases cleaving plant cell wall polysaccharides into fermentable sugars, may account for high pretreatment efficiency of I. lacteus. Our study also hints the importance of free radicals for future designing of novel, robust lignocellulose-degrading enzyme cocktails.
