Project description:Drosophila melanogaster larvae and filamentous fungi both utilise organic material. Here they compete for resources. Filamentous fungi can defend themselves and their substrate from predation respectively competition by the production and excretion of secondary metabolites, including substances with antibiotic and insecticidal properties. To analyse the traits that enables D. melanogaster larvae to reduce the harmful effects of fungal secondary metabolites and to develop on fungal infested substrate we confronted larvae with a toxin-producing wild type of Aspergillus nidulans, with a toxin-production-impaired mutant strain of A. nidulans, and with sterigmatocystin, a highly toxic metabolite of A. nidulans. Early first instar larvae were transferred to breeding substrate inhabited by fungal colonies respectively inoculated with the purified mycotoxin or controls. After 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours of confrontation larvae were collected and samples prepared for whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing.

Project description:Experimental evolution was conducted using Drosophila melanogaster populations that developed as larvae on breeding substrate that was infested with Aspergillus nidulans wild type, A. nidulans toxin-impaired mutant strain delta-laeA, the mycotoxin sterigmatocystin, or on fungi and toxin free substrate. Overall population were reared under these conditions for 11 generations, where after each confrontation generation one relaxation generation (fungi and toxin free breeding substrate) was conducted. Nine generations after the last selection treatment, first instar larvae were confronted with 3 days old A. nidulans wild type colonies or control conditions. 24 hours after confrontation start larvae were collected. For each biological replicate 52 larvae were collected from 4 independent confrontation units, balanced design. Three populations per selection regime were conducted, resulting in: 2 conditions x 4 selection regimes x 3 biological replicates (equal to fly population) = 24 samples. Selection regimes: sCO= control; sWT= A. nidulans wild type; sLA= A. nidulans mutant strain; sST= Sterigmatocystin. confrontation condition: cCO= control; cWT= A. nidulans wild type.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A. nidulans comparing starvation for 0 (reference), 12 and 24 h. The main objective was to identify genes specifically regulated during starvation by atmA and xprG. The results of the experiment were further validated by real-time PCR. Experimental procedure: Three A. nidulans strains were used in this study: WT, delta atmA and delta xprG. Strains were grown on minimal medium for 24 h (0 h starvation reference), then exposed to 12 and 24 h starvation. atmA: ATM, Ataxia-Telangiectasia mutated; Malavazi, I., Savoldi, M., Da Silva Ferreira, M.

Project description:The study aims essentially at the characterisation of suberin degradation mechanisms by Aspergillus nidulans, at a fundamental level. Suberin is an important protective barrier in plant, thus the study of its biodegradation significantly impacts on phytopatology. In addition, fungal suberin degrading enzymes might provide important insights to develop new waste management, bioremediation and biodeterioration prevention strategies.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans OE::rsmA compared to wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA). A twelve array study using total RNA recovered from six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and six separate cultures of Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA (restorer of secondary metabolism A), using custom-designed, four-plex arrays. The experiment was divided into two runs. In the first run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans carrying a plasmid overexpressing rsmA under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed. In the second run, three biological replicates each of Aspergillus nidulans wild-type RDIT9.32 (veA) and Aspergillus nidulans overexpressing rsmA at the native locus under the control of the gpdA promoter were assayed.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Aspergillus nidulans AN1599 (PbcR) overexpression mutant, compared to the FGSC A4 wild-type strain. Overexpression of the Zn(II)2Cys6 –type transcription factor, AN1599.4 (PbcR, pimaradiene biosynthetic cluster regulator), activates a secondary metabolite gene cluster in Aspergillus nidulans. Activation of the pathway in Aspergillus nidulans lead to a production of ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene.
