Structure Identification of Two Polysaccharides from Morchella sextelata with Antioxidant Activity.

ABSTRACT: Mushrooms of the Morchella genus exhibit a variety of biological activities. Two polysaccharides (MSP1-1, 389.0 kDa; MSP1-2, 23.4 kDa) were isolated from Morchella sextelata by subcritical water extraction and column chromatography fractionation. Methylation and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis determined MSP1-1 as a glucan with a backbone of (1→4)-α-D-glucan branched at O-6, and MSP1-2 as a galactomannan with coextracted α-glucan. Light scattering analysis and transmission electron microscopy revealed that MSP1-1 possessed a random coil chain and that MSP1-2 had a network chain. This is the first time that a network structure has been observed in a polysaccharide from M. sextelata. Despite the differences in their chemical structures and conformations, both MSP1-1 and MSP1-2 possessed good thermal stability and showed antioxidant activity. This study provides fundamental data on the structure-activity relationships of M. sextelata polysaccharides.

Isolation and identification of pathogens of Morchella sextelata bacterial disease.

Project description:Morel mushroom (Morchella spp.) is a rare edible and medicinal fungus distributed worldwide. It is highly desired by the majority of consumers. Bacterial diseases have been commonly observed during artificial cultivation of Morchella sextelata. Bacterial pathogens spread rapidly and cause a wide range of infections, severely affecting the yield and quality of M. sextelata. In this study, two strains of bacterial pathogens, named M-B and M-5, were isolated, cultured, and purified from the tissues of the infected M. sextelata. Koch's postulates were used to determine the pathogenicity of bacteria affecting M. sextelata, and the pathogens were identified through morphological observation, physiological and biochemical analyses, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Subsequently, the effect of temperature on the growth of pathogenic bacteria, the inhibitory effect of the bacteria on M. sextelata on plates, and the changes in mycelial morphology of M. sextelata mycelium were analyzed when M. sextelata mycelium was double-cultured with pathogenic bacteria on plates. The results revealed that M-B was Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. aureofaciens and M-5 was Bacillus subtilis. Strain M-B started to multiply at 10-15°C, and strain M-5 started at 15-20°C. On the plates, the pathogenic bacteria also produced significant inhibition of M. sextelata mycelium, and the observation of mycelial morphology under the scanning electron microscopy revealed that the inhibited mycelium underwent obvious drying and crumpling, and the healthy mycelium were more plump. Thus, this study clarified the pathogens, optimal growth environment, and characteristics of M. sextelata bacterial diseases, thereby providing valuable basic data for the disease prevention and control of Morchella production.

The whole-genome sequence analysis of Morchella sextelata.

Project description:Morchella are macrofungi and are also called morels, as they exhibit a morel-like upper cap structure. Morels contain abundant essential amino acids, vitamins and biologically active compounds, which provide substantial health benefits. Approximately 80 species of Morchella have been reported, and even more species have been isolated. However, the lack of wild Morchella resources and the difficulties associated with culturing Morchella have caused a shortage in the morels available for daily consumption. Additionally, in-depth genomic and morphological studies are still needed. In this study, to provide genomic data for further investigations of culturing techniques and the biological functions of Morchella sextelata (M. sextelata), de novo genome sequencing was carried out on the Illumina HiSeq. 4000 platform using both the Illumina 150 and PacBio systems. The final estimated genome size of M. sextelata was 52.93 Mb, containing 59 contigs and a GC content of 47.37%. A total of 9,550 protein-coding genes were annotated. In addition, the repeat sequences, gene components and gene functions were analyzed using various databases. Furthermore, the secondary metabolite gene clusters and the predicted structures of their products were analyzed. Finally, a genomic comparison of different species of Morchella was performed.

Microbial communities associated with the black morel Morchella sextelata cultivated in greenhouses.

Project description:Morels (Morchella spp.) are iconic edible mushrooms with a long history of human consumption. Some microbial taxa are hypothesized to be important in triggering the formation of morel primordia and development of fruiting bodies, thus, there is interest in the microbial ecology of these fungi. To identify and compare fungal and prokaryotic communities in soils where Morchella sextelata is cultivated in outdoor greenhouses, ITS and 16S rDNA high throughput amplicon sequencing and microbiome analyses were performed. Pedobacter, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, and Flavobacterium were found to comprise the core microbiome of M. sextelata ascocarps. These bacterial taxa were also abundant in the soil beneath growing fruiting bodies. A total of 29 bacterial taxa were found to be statistically associated to Morchella fruiting bodies. Bacterial community network analysis revealed high modularity with some 16S rDNA operational taxonomic unit clusters living in specialized fungal niches (e.g., pileus, stipe). Other fungi dominating the soil mycobiome beneath morels included Morchella, Phialophora, and Mortierella. This research informs understanding of microbial indicators and potential facilitators of Morchella ecology and fruiting body production.

Characterization of Structure and Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides From Sesame Seed Hull.

Project description:Sesame seed hull is the major by-product of sesame seed processing and is rich in polysaccharides. In this work, sesame hull polysaccharides (SHP) were extracted by ultrasound-assisted alkali extraction methods with a yield of 6.49%. Three purified polysaccharide fractions were obtained after decolorization, deproteinization, and column chromatography. Then, their main composition and antioxidant activity were investigated. The dominant fraction was SHP-2 with a yield of 3.78%. It was composed of galacturonic acid (51.3%), glucuronic acid (13.8%), rhamnose (8.9%), glucose (8.4%), and others. The linkage types of SHP-2 have the α-D-GalpA-(1,4)-linked, α-D-GlcpA-(1,2)-linked, β-T-D-Rhap-linked, β-D-Glcp-(1,6)-linked, β-T-D-Galp-linked, α-L-Xylp-(1,4)-linked, α-L-Araf-(1,3,5)-linked, and β-D-Manp-(1,4)-linked. This study might provide some useful basic data for developing applications for sesame seed hull polysaccharides in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Determining why continuous cropping reduces the production of the morel Morchella sextelata.

Project description:Artificial cultivation of Morchella sextelata and other morels is expanding in China, but continuous cropping reduces Morchella for unknown reasons. Here, we investigated soil that had been used or not used for M. sextelata cultivation for 0, 1, and 2 years. We found that the continuous cropping of M. sextelata substantially reduced the pH and the nutrient content of the hyphosphere soil and increased sclerotia formation by M. sextelata. Changes in the structure of bacterial and fungal communities were associated with levels of available nitrogen (N) and phosphorus in the soil. With continuous cropping, the richness and diversity of fungal and bacterial communities increased, but the abundance of Bacillus and Lactobacillus decreased and the abundance of pathogenic fungi increased. FAPROTAX analysis indicated that N cycle functions were enriched more with than without continuous cultivation, and that enrichment of N cycle and sulfate respiration functions was higher in the second than in the first year of cultivation. FunGuild analysis indicated that the functions related to pathotrophs and wood saprotrophs were enriched by M. sextelata cultivation. Overall, the results suggest that continuous cropping may reduce M. sextelata production by acidifying the soil and increasing the abundance of pathogenic fungi. Additional research is needed to determine whether increases in the abundance of pathogenic fungi and changes in soil chemistry result in the declines in production that occur with continuous M. sextelata cultivation.

Transcriptomic analyses reveal the effects of herbicides on the mycelium of Morchella sextelata

Project description:Morchella sextelata, recognized for its medicinal properties and distinctive taste, is a highly valued edible mushroom. Despite its commercial importance, the mushroom's susceptibility to environmental factors and its reactions to herbicides commonly used in cultivation have not been extensively studied. This research aimed to explore how four prevalent herbicides—Trifluralin, Pendimethalin, S-metolachlor, and Acetochlor—affect the mycelial growth of Morchella sextelata. The study involved cultivating the mycelium in a Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium with concentrations of herbicides at ten times the standard application rate, followed by measuring the degree of mycelial growth inhibition. Employing transcriptomic analysis, RNA sequencing was conducted on the mycelium exposed to the herbicides. The subsequent transcriptome profiling indicated that the application of these herbicides impacted various biological pathways within Morchella sextelata, with a notable influence on glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and the glyoxylate cycle, which are crucial for energy production and metabolic processes. While Trifluralin and Pendimethalin demonstrated a less pronounced negative impact on mycelial growth, the study concluded that all tested herbicides were detrimental to Morchella sextelata. It is thus recommended that, in agricultural practice, the use of herbicides be approached with caution, and that application rates be strictly adhered to in order to ensure the healthy cultivation of Morchella sextelata and minimize potential pesticide residue issues.
