Endophytic fungi specifically introduce novel metabolites into grape flesh cells in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Since endophytes can affect metabolism of host plants, they are expected to be used to improve crop quality, especially for crops with organoleptic sensitive products such as wine grape. However, details of metabolic interactions between endophytes and host plants were less understood. In this work, we used high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze the metabolites of fruit flesh cells of grape treated with dual culture of different endophytic fungal strains (EFS). We observed that the dual-culture with different fungal strains show different metabolites composition in grape cells. In response to different EFS, quantities of detected metabolites in grape cells varied from 6 to 17 in this assay, and 1 to 11 novel metabolites were introduced into metabolome of grape cells. Dual-culture with fungal strains CS2, RH16 and RH5 introduced the highest quantities (10 or 11) of novel metabolites in grape cells. More importantly, the modification of metabolic profiles in grape cells via fungal endophytes appeared to be fungal strain/genus-specificity. Overall, this work revealed that introduction of specific metabolites in host plants may be one consequence during the process of endophytes-host metabolic interactions, which raise the possibility to shape grape qualities and characteristics using tool of fungal endophytes.

Structurally Uncommon Secondary Metabolites Derived from Endophytic Fungi.

Project description:Among microorganisms, endophytic fungi are the least studied, but they have attracted attention due to their high biological diversity and ability to produce novel and bioactive secondary metabolites to protect their host plant against biotic and abiotic stress. These compounds belong to different structural classes, such as alkaloids, peptides, terpenoids, polyketides, and steroids, which could present significant biological activities that are useful for pharmacological or medical applications. Recent reviews on endophytic fungi have mainly focused on the production of novel bioactive compounds. Here, we focus on compounds produced by endophytic fungi, reported with uncommon bioactive structures, establishing the neighbor net and diversity of endophytic fungi. The review includes compounds published from January 2015 to December 2020 that were catalogued as unprecedented, rare, uncommon, or possessing novel structural skeletons from more than 39 different genera, with Aspergillus and Penicillium being the most mentioned. They were reported as displaying cytotoxic, antitumor, antimicrobial, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory activity. The solid culture, using rice as a carbon source, was the most common medium utilized in the fermentation process when this type of compound was isolated.

In Vitro Morphogenesis of Arabidopsis to Search for Novel Endophytic Fungi Modulating Plant Growth.

Project description:Fungal endophytes have shown to affect plant growth and to confer stress tolerance to the host; however, effects of endophytes isolated from water plants have been poorly investigated. In this study, fungi isolated from stems (stem-E) and roots (root-E) of Mentha aquatica L. (water mint) were identified, and their morphogenetic properties analysed on in vitro cultured Arabidopsis (L.) Heynh., 14 and 21 days after inoculation (DAI). Nineteen fungi were analysed and, based on ITS analysis, 17 isolates showed to be genetically distinct. The overall effect of water mint endophytes on Arabidopsis fresh (FW) and dry weight (DW) was neutral and positive, respectively, and the increased DW, mainly occurring 14 DAI, was possibly related to plant defence mechanism. Only three fungi increased both FW and DW of Arabidopsis at 14 and 21 DAI, thus behaving as plant growth promoting (PGP) fungi. E-treatment caused a reduction of root depth and primary root length in most cases and inhibition-to-promotion of root area and lateral root length, from 14 DAI. Only Phoma macrostoma, among the water mint PGP fungi, increased both root area and depth, 21 DAI. Root depth and area 14 DAI were shown to influence DWs, indicating that the extension of the root system, and thus nutrient uptake, was an important determinant of plant dry biomass. Reduction of Arabidopsis root depth occurred to a great extent when plants where treated with stem-E while root area decreased or increased under the effects of stem-E and root-E, respectively, pointing to an influence of the endophyte origin on root extension. M. aquatica and many other perennial hydrophytes have growing worldwide application in water pollution remediation. The present study provided a model for directed screening of endophytes able to modulate plant growth in the perspective of future field applications of these fungi.

Metabolites of medicine food homology-derived endophytic fungi and their activities.

Project description:Medicine food homology (MFH) substances not only provide essential nutrients as food but also have corresponding factors that can prevent and help treat nutritional imbalances, chronic disease, and other related issues. Endophytic fungi associated with plants have potential for use in drug discovery and food therapy. However, the endophytic fungal metabolites from MFH plants and their effects have been overlooked. Therefore, this review focuses on the various biological activities of 108 new metabolites isolated from 53 MFH-derived endophytic fungi. The paper explores the potential nutritional and medicinal value of metabolites of MFH-derived endophytic fungi for food and medical applications. This research is important for the future development of effective, safe, and nontoxic therapeutic nutraceuticals for the prevention and treatment of human diseases.

Patents on Endophytic Fungi Related to Secondary Metabolites and Biotransformation Applications.

Project description:Endophytic fungi are an important group of microorganisms and one of the least studied. They enhance their host's resistance against abiotic stress, disease, insects, pathogens and mammalian herbivores by producing secondary metabolites with a wide spectrum of biological activity. Therefore, they could be an alternative source of secondary metabolites for applications in medicine, pharmacy and agriculture. In this review, we analyzed patents related to the production of secondary metabolites and biotransformation processes through endophytic fungi and their fields of application. We examined 245 patents (224 related to secondary metabolite production and 21 for biotransformation). The most patented fungi in the development of these applications belong to the Aspergillus, Fusarium, Trichoderma, Penicillium, and Phomopsis genera and cover uses in the biomedicine, agriculture, food, and biotechnology industries.

The symbioses of endophytic fungi shaped the metabolic profiles in grape leaves of different varieties.

Project description:Endophytic fungi produce many novel bioactive metabolites that are directly used as drugs or that function as the precursor structures of other chemicals. The metabolic shaping of endophytes on grape cells was reported previously. However, there are no reports on the interactions and metabolic impact of endophyte symbiosis on in vitro vine leaves, which may be examined under well-controlled conditions that are more representative of the natural situation of endophytes within grapevines. The present study used an in vitro leaf method to establish endophyte symbiosis of grapevines and analyze the effects on the metabolic profiles of grape leaves from two different cultivars, 'Rose honey' (RH) and 'Cabernet sauvignon' (CS). The effects of endophytic fungi on the metabolic profiles of grape leaves exhibited host selectivity and fungal strain specificity. Most of the endophytic fungal strains introduced novel metabolites into the two varieties of grape leaves according to the contents of the detected metabolites and composition of metabolites. Strains RH49 and MDR36, with high or moderate symbiosis rates, triggered an increased response in terms of the detected metabolites, and the strains MDR1 and MDR33 suppressed the detected metabolites in CS and RH leaves despite having strong or moderate symbiosis ability. However, the strain RH12 significantly induced the production of novel metabolites in RH leaves due to its high symbiosis ability and suppression of metabolites in CS leaves.

Grape flesh and skin ripening transcriptomic profiling

Project description:The experiment was aimed at describing similarities and differences between grapevine flesh and skin ripening at the transcriptome level. Transcriptional profiles throughout flesh and skin ripening were followed in three biological replicas during two consecutive growing seasons in a table grape cultivar ‘Muscat Hamburg’. Berries were weekly picked off bunches (one bunch per vine from each selected vine) from june to august. For each sampling, berries were classified in five ripening stages based on monitoring developmental stages instead of a simple chronological sampling. They corresponded to pre-véraison (P), 50% véraison (V1), 100% véraison (V2), ripe 1 (R1), and ripe 2 R2). P samples were harvested as green, hard berries of at least 15 mm in size, according to touch-assessed hardiness. Véraison berries with half or full coloured skin surface corresponded to V1 and V2 samples. After véraison, ripening berries were classified according to their floatability in solutions with different NaCl densities, as an indication of the internal sugar concentration. At this stage berries were sampled with densities between 110-130 g NaCl/L for R1 and between 130-150 g NaCl/L for R2, which corresponded to commercially ripen table grape berries. On each of the five samples, frozen berries were dissected and RNA from flesh and skin was obtained and processed for Grapegen Genechip microarray hybridizations. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Pablo Carbonell-Bejerano.

Multi-functional bioactive secondary metabolites derived from endophytic fungi of marine algal origin.

Project description:Endophytic fungi from marine macroalgae are endowed with various pharmacologically active metabolites. This study mined, identified and screened endophytic fungi (EF) isolated from marine algae from the west coast of South India for screening anticancer, antioxidant and antimicrobial secondary metabolite producers. Five EF isolated from sampled marine algae were identified using morphology and ITS based identification as Grammothele fuligo, Rigidoporus vinctus, Cystobasidium minutum, Candida railenensis and Pichia kudriavzevii. After culturing 20 days on PDA medium, the ethyl acetate extracts of Cystobasidium minutum showed potent antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa with an IC50 value of 458.7 ± 1.021 µg/mL whereas Pichia kudriavzevii extracts showed promising antioxidant activity (IC50 value of 65.78 ± 1.082 µg/mL, 38.74 ± 1.040 µg/mL and 32.01 ± 1.018 µg/mL for DPPH assay, ABTS assay and FRAP assay respectively) and high cytotoxic activity against MG63 cell line (IC50 = 145.1 ± 1.086 µg/mL, no activity against U87 cells). The phytochemical screening of the extracts unveiled the existence of diverse groups of secondary metabolites. Further, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis of the extract revealed the presence of compounds that are known to be antibacterial, antioxidant and cytotoxic. These results indicate that marine derived endophytes could be potent sources for multi-functional bioactive compounds and may find prospective application in pharmaceutical industry.
