The cellulase of Fusarium solani. Resolution of the enzyme complex.

ABSTRACT: 1. Culture filtrates from Fusarium solani were fractionated by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, followed by gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100, into a C(1) component, a C(x) component (CM-cellulase) and a beta-glucosidase (cellobiase) component. 2. The individual components showed little capacity for the solubilization of cotton fibre (cellulase activity), but when recombined in their original proportions 81% of the original cellulase activity was recovered. 3. The C(1) components of F. solani and Trichoderma koningii were similar in their pH optima, heat stabilities over the pH range 5-8 and elution volumes on Sephadex G-100. 4. The C(1) component of F. solani synergized with the C(x) component of T. koningii and conversely. 5. The C(1) and the beta-glucosidase components of F. solani were devoid of the swelling-factor (S-factor) activity associated with the C(x) component.

The cellulase of Fusarium solani. Purification and specificity of the -(1-4)-glucanase and the -D-glucosidase components.

Project description:1. Cell-free culture filtrates of the fungus Fusarium solani were examined for homogeneity with respect to beta-d-glucosidase and C(x) activities. 2. o-Nitrophenyl beta-d-glucoside and cellobiose were both used as substrates for beta-d-glucosidase activity. 3. No evidence for the non-identity of nitrophenyl beta-d-glucosidase and cellobiase activities could be found, either by heat treatment, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 or by isoelectric focusing. 4. The beta-d-glucosidase component was also a feeble exo-beta-glucanase: it had a molecular weight of approx. 400000. 5. The fall in viscosity of a solution of CM-cellulose, the formation of reducing sugars in a solution of CM-cellulose and the solubilization of phosphoric acid-swollen cellulose (Walseth cellulose), were all used for the measurement of C(x) activity. 6. The ratio of the two types of CM-cellulase activity was not changed after gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 or after chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. 7. Three peaks of C(x) activity were obtained after electrofocusing, but all three possessed the same ratio of the two types of CM-cellulase activity as well as the same CM-cellulase/Walseth activity ratio, as the unfractionated enzyme; all three isoenzymes (isoelectric points, 4.75, 4.80-4.85 and 5.15) acted in synergism with a mixture of the C(1) and the beta-d-glucosidase components to the same extent in the solubilization of cotton fibre. 8. The molecular weight of the C(x) component was approx. 37000.

Malignant Keratitis Caused by a Highly-Resistant Strain of Fusarium Tonkinense from the Fusarium Solani Complex.

Project description:Fusarium spp. are moulds ubiquitously distributed in nature and only occasionally pathogenic for humans. Species of the Fusarium solani complex are the predominant keratitis-inducing pathogens, because they are endowed with proper virulence factors. These fungi can adhere to the cornea creating a biofilm and, with the help of enzymes and cytotoxins, penetrate the cornea. Whereas an intact cornea is hardly able to be invaded by Fusarium spp. in spite of appropriate virulence factors, these opportunistic fungi may profit from predisposing conditions, for example mechanical injuries. This can lead to a progressive course of corneal infection and may finally affect the whole eye up to the need for enucleation. Here, we present and discuss the clinical, microbiological and histopathological aspects of a particular case due to Fusarium tonkinense of the Fusarium solani complex with severe consequences in a patient without any obvious predisposing factors. A broad portfolio of antifungal agents was applied, both topically and systemically as well as two penetrating keratoplasties were performed. The exact determination of the etiologic agent of the fungal infection proved likewise to be very challenging.

Molecular Variability of the <i>Fusarium solani</i> Species Complex Associated with Fusarium Wilt of Melon in Iran.

Project description:Species of the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) are responsible for the Fusarium wilt disease of melon (Cucumis melo), a major disease of this crop in Iran. According to a recent taxonomic revision of Fusarium based primarily on multilocus phylogenetic analysis, Neocosmospora, a genus distinct from Fusarium sensu stricto, has been proposed to accommodate the FSSC. This study characterized 25 representative FSSC isolates from melon collected in 2009-2011 during a field survey carried out in five provinces of Iran. Pathogenicity assays showed the isolates were pathogenic on different varieties of melon and other cucurbits, including cucumber, watermelon, zucchini, pumpkin, and bottle gourd. Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of three genetic regions, including nrDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), 28S nrDNA large subunit (LSU) and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1), Neocosmospora falciformis (syn. F. falciforme), N. keratoplastica (syn. F. keratoplasticum), N. pisi (syn. F. vanettenii), and Neocosmospora sp. were identified among the Iranian FSSC isolates. The N. falciformis isolates were the most numerous. This is the first report of N. pisi causing wilt and root rot disease in melon. Iranian FSSC isolates from different regions in the country shared the same multilocus haplotypes suggesting a long-distance dispersal of FSSC, probably through seeds.

Characterization of Two Fusarium solani Species Complex Isolates from the Ambrosia Beetle Xylosandrus morigerus.

Project description:Ambrosia beetles are insect vectors of important plant diseases and have been considered as a threat to forest ecosystems, agriculture, and the timber industry. Several factors have been suggested as promoters of the pathogenic behavior of ambrosia beetles; one of them is the nature of the fungal mutualist and its ability to establish an infectious process. In Mexico, Xylosandrus morigerus is an invasive ambrosia beetle that damages many agroecosystems. Herein, two different isolates from the X. morigerus ambrosia beetle belonging to the Fusarium genus are reported. Both isolates belong to the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) but not to the Ambrosia Fusarium clade (AFC). The two closely related Fusarium isolates are pathogenic to different forest and agronomic species, and the morphological differences between them and the extracellular protease profile suggest intraspecific variability. This study shows the importance of considering these beetles as vectors of different species of fungal plant pathogens, with some of them even being phylogenetically closely related and having different pathogenic abilities, highlighting the relevance of the fungal mutualist as a factor for the ambrosia complex becoming a pest.

Heterologous Expression of the Core Genes in the Complex Fusarubin Gene Cluster of Fusarium Solani.

Project description:Through stepwise recreation of the biosynthetic gene cluster containing PKS3 from Fusarium solani, it was possible to produce the core scaffold compound of bostrycoidin, a red aza-anthraquinone pigment in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This was achieved through sequential transformation associated recombination (TAR) cloning of FvPPT, fsr1, fsr2, and fsr3 into the pESC-vector system, utilizing the inducible bidirectional galactose promoter for heterologous expression in S. cerevisiae. The production of the core metabolite bostrycoidin was investigated through triplicate growth cultures for 1-4 days, where the maximum titer of bostrycoidin was achieved after 2 days of induction, yielding 2.2 mg/L.

Study on the anti-biofilm mechanism of 1,8-cineole against <i>Fusarium solani</i> species complex.

Project description:Fungal-infections are mostly due to fungi in an adhering, biofilm-mode of growth and not due to planktonically growing, suspended-fungi. 1, 8-cineole is a natural product, which has been shown to possess antifungal effect. However, the anti-biofilm effect and mechanism of 1,8-cineole against Fusarium solani species complex has not reported previously. In this study, we found that 1,8-cineole has a good antifungal activity against F. solani with an MIC value of 46.1 μg/ml. Notably, 1,8-cineole showed good anti-biofilm formation activity against F. solani via inhibiting cell adhesion, hypha formation and decreasing the secretion of extracellular matrix at the concentration of ≥5.76 μg/ml. In addition, transcriptome sequencing analysis results showed that F. solani species complex genes related to ECM, protein synthesis and energy metabolism were down-expressed in the biofilms formation process treated with 1,8-cineole. In conclusion, these results show that 1,8-cineole has good anti-biofilm formation activity against F. solani species complex, and it exerts its anti-biofilm formation activity by downregulating of ergosterol biosynthetic genes, inhibiting adhesion, hindering the synthesis of ECM and interfering mitochondrial activity. This study suggests that 1,8-cineole is a promising anti-biofilm agent against F. solani species complex.
