Project description:Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites which are produced by numerous fungi and pose a continuous challenge to the safety and quality of food commodities in South Africa. These toxins have toxicologically relevant effects on humans and animals that eat contaminated foods. In this study, a diagnostic DNA microarray was developed for the identification of the most common food-borne fungi, as well as the genes leading to toxin production. A total of 40 potentially mycotoxigenic fungi isolated from different food commodities, as well as the genes that are involved in the mycotoxin synthetic pathways, were analyzed. For fungal identification, oligonucleotide probes were designed by exploiting the sequence variations of the elongation factor 1-alpha (EF-1 α) coding regions and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the rRNA gene cassette. For the detection of fungi able to produce mycotoxins, oligonucleotides directed towards genes leading to toxin production from different fungal strains were identified in data available in the public domain. The oligonucleotides selected for fungal identification and the oligonucleotides specific for toxin producing genes were spotted onto microarray slides. The diagnostic microarray developed can be used to identify potentially mycotoxigenic fungi as well as genes leading to toxin production in both laboratory and food samples offering an interesting potential for microbiological laboratories.

For the detection of fungi able to produce mycotoxins, oligonucleotides directed towards genes leading to toxin production from different fungal strains were identified in data available in the public domain. Analysis was performed with 40 fungal cultures were obtained from the Agricultural Research Council culture collection (ARC), Pretoria, South Africa.an in-house spotted oligonucleotide microarray. The identity of each fungus was confirmed by standard laboratory procedures. For DNA isolation, the fungal strains were grown on 1.5% malt extract agar at 25°C for 1-2 weeks and total genomic fungal DNA was extracted following the DNA extraction protocol described by Raeder and Broda (1985). The internal transcribed spacer oligonucleotides ITS1, ITS3 and ITS4 were used as a reference for normalization of all spot intensity data.Samples were fluorescently labelled with Cy5 dye by using a Cyâ¢Dye Post-labelling Reactive Dye Pack and wre hybridized to the oligonucleotide microarray overnight. Two biological and one technical replicate (using independent labelling reactions) was performed, each replication consisting of a reverse labelling experiment.

Project description:The gut microbiome consists of a multi-kingdom microbial community. Whilst the role of bacteria as causal contributors governing host physiological development is well established, the role of fungi remains to be determined. Here, we use germ-free mice colonized with defined species of bacteria, fungi, or both to differentiate the causal role of fungi on microbiome assembly, immune development, susceptibility to colitis, and airway inflammation. Fungal colonization promotes major shifts in bacterial microbiome ecology, and has an independent effect on innate and adaptive immune development in young mice. While exclusive fungal colonization is insufficient to elicit overt dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, bacterial and fungal co-colonization increase colonic inflammation. Ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation reveals that bacterial, but not fungal colonization is necessary to decrease airway inflammation, yet fungi selectively promotes macrophage infiltration in the airway. Together, our findings demonstrate a causal role for fungi in microbial ecology and host immune functionality, and therefore prompt the inclusion of fungi in therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating early life microbiomes.

Project description:In bacteria, antibiotic tolerance, the ability of a susceptible population to survive high doses of cidal drugs, has been shown to compromise therapeutic outcomes. In comparison, whether fungicide tolerance can be induced by host-derived factors during fungal diseases remains unproven. Here, through a systematic evaluation of metabolite-drug-fungal interactions in the leading fungal meningitis pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, we found that glucose, on which the brain depends for fuel, induces fungal tolerance to amphotericin B (AmB) in mouse brain tissue and patient cerebrospinal fluid via the fungal glucose repression activator Mig1. To explore the mechanisms underlying glucose-dependent AmB tolerance mediated by Mig1, we used time-series RNA-seq to evaluate dynamic gene expression in wildtype and mig1Δ fungi after exposure to AmB under both drug-tolerant (glucose) or drug-sensitive (galactose) conditions.

Project description:In order to get insights into the ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi to perceive their biotic environment as well as into the mechanisms of the interactions between ectomycorrhizal fungi and soil bacteria, we analysed the transcriptomic response of the ectomycorrhizal fungus L. bicolor and of two beneficial, and neutral soil bacteria during their interactions in vitro.

Project description:Interaction of microbes affects the growth, metabolism and differentiation of members of the community. While direct and indirect competitions, like spite and nutrient consumption have negative effect on each other, microbes also evolved in nature not only to fight, but in some cases to adapt or support each other while increasing the fitness of the community. Presence of bacteria and fungi in the soil results in interactions and various examples were described, including mutualism. Bacilli attach to the plant root and form complex communities in the rhizosphere. Bacillus subtilis, when grown in the presence of Aspergillus niger interacts with the fungal partner, attaches and grows on the hyphae. Using dual transcriptome experiment, we show that both fungi and bacteria alter their metabolisms during the interaction. Interestingly, the transcription of genes related to the antifungal and antibacterial defense mechanism of B. subtilis and A. niger, respectively, are decreased upon attachment of bacteria to the mycelia. Our microarray experiments provide a novel insight into the mutual interaction of a bacterium and a fungus. Aspergillus niger were grown with and without Bacillus subtilis. Biological triplicates were made for both conditions, Affymetrix microarray experiments were performed on these samples.

Project description:Gut microbiome modulates the host immune development, yet the functional contribution of gut fungi remains elusive. We previously showed that mice colonized only with fungi displayed allergic features and fecal metabolite profiles similar to germ-free mice. To gain insights into the functional changes attributed to fungal colonization, we performed proteomic analyses of feces and small intestine of gnotobiotic mice colonized with either bacteria, fungi, or both. Comparison of fecal metaproteomic profiles between mouse groups yielded broad changes in the relative levels of bacterial, fungal and mouse proteins. Many of the detected fungal proteins have been previously reported as a part of extracellular vesicles and having immunomodulating properties. Changes in the levels of mouse proteins derived from the small intestine impacted essential cellular pathways, including lipid metabolism and apoptosis. The results show how fungal colonization impacts the host proteome and suggest an influence on the host final cellular phenotype.
