ABSTRACT: We constructed a bacterial fungal synthetic community and found that it has stronger phosphorus solubilization ability than a single bacterium or fungus. Among them, fungi mainly play a role in phosphorus solubilization, while bacteria can promote fungal phosphorus solubilization. Through metabolomics, the mechanism of fungal phosphorus solubilization is analyzed to further explore whether fungi utilize bacterial metabolites to promote phosphorus solubilization. It was found that fungi mainly utilize organic acids to dissolve phosphorus, while bacterial metabolite whey acid can be utilized by fungi to promote their ability to dissolve phosphorus.

Project description:Endophytic fungi are root-inhabiting fungi that can promote plant growth in a variety of ways. They can directly stimulate plant growth by producing phytohormones, such as auxin and gibberellins. They can also indirectly promote plant growth by helping plants to acquire nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and by protecting plants from pests and pathogens.In this study, we used a proteomic approach to identify the proteins that are expressed in rice plants after they are treated with endophytic fungi. We found that the treatment with endophytic fungi resulted in the expression of a number of proteins involved in plant growth, nutrient acquisition, and defense. These results suggest that endophytic fungi can promote plant growth and improve plant resilience to stress.

Project description:Fungal infections, especially for candidiasis and aspergillosis, claim an unacceptably high fatality. However, the determining mechanism that promote fungal lethal infections are still elusive. The energy ATP necessary for fungal cell growth and function is synthesized mainly through oxidative phosphorylation, whose key enzyme is F1Fo-ATP synthase. Nonetheless, it remians unknown how this enzyme affects fungal pathogenicity. Here we show that F1Fo-ATP synthase subunit deletion completely abrogates C. albicans lethal infection rather than leading to remarkable intracellular ATP concentration and growth defect. Mechanically, subunit deletion reduces PFK1 activity via interrupting PFK1 phosphorylation to trigger its conformational change, decreases downstream FBP level, blocks Ras1-dependent and -independent cAMP-PKA pathway, and curtails virulence factors. Based on these findings, we engineer a small molecule compound aimed at subunit that effectively protects mice from succumbing to invasive candidiasis. In summary, our findings reveal that F1Fo-ATP synthase δ subunit determines the lethal infection of pathogenic fungi and represents a potential new therapeutic target.

Project description:Soil dwelling Aspergillus fungi possess the versatile metabolic capability to utilize complex organic compounds which are toxic to humans, yet the mechanisms they employ remain largely unknown. Benzo(a)pyrene is a common carcinogenic contaminant, posing a significant concern for human health. Here, we report that Aspergillus fungi can degrade benzo(a)pyrene effectively. In Aspergillus nidulans, exposure to benzo(a)pyrene results in transcriptomic and metabolic changes associated with cellular growth and energy generation, implying that the fungus utilizes benzo(a)pyrene as a food. Importantly, we identify and characterize the conserved bapA gene encoding a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that exerts the first step in the degradation of benzo(a)pyrene. We further demonstrate that the fungal NF-κB-type global regulators VeA and VelB are required for benzo(a)pyrene degradation in A. nidulans, which occurs through expression control of bapA in response to nutrient limitation. Our study illuminates fundamental knowledge of fungal benzo(a)pyrene metabolism and provides novel insights into enhancing bioremediation potential.

Project description:Endophytic fungi are fungi that live inside the roots of plants. They can promote plant growth through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. Direct mechanisms include the production of phytohormones, such as auxin and gibberellins, which can stimulate plant growth. Endophytic fungi can also fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphate, and produce siderophores, which are compounds that chelate iron and make it available to plants. In addition, some endophytic fungi produce antimicrobial metabolites that can protect plants from pests and pathogens. Indirect mechanisms include the induction of systemic resistance, which is a plant's ability to defend itself against pests and pathogens. Endophytic fungi can also help plants to tolerate abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and heavy metals. In this study, we used a proteomic approach to identify the proteins that are expressed in rice plants after they are treated with endophytic fungi. We found that the treatment with endophytic fungi resulted in the expression of a number of proteins involved in plant growth, stress response, and defense. These results suggest that endophytic fungi can promote plant growth and improve plant resilience to stress.

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:Through transcriptome profiling using RNA-seq, we investigated the mechanisms behind bacterial endosymbiont (Burkholderia rhizoxinica) control over host (Rhizopus microsporus) reproductive biology. By analyzing differential expression across six different conditions, including fungal opposite mates growing independently with or without endosymbionts, as well as opposite mates growing together with endosymbionts (mating) or without endosymbionts (no mating), we were able to identify that endosymbionts control expression of a Ras signaling protein critical for sexual reproduction in many fungi (Ras2). As little is known regarding sexual reproduction in Mucoromycotina, we also used these data to investigate conservation of sex-related genes across all fungi, as well as predict potential genes involved in sensing of trisporic acid, the mating pheromone used by these fungi.

Project description:The recent release of a large number of genomes from ectomycorrhizal, orchid mycorrhizal and root endophytic fungi have provided deep insight into fungal lifestyle-associated genomic adaptation. Comparative analyses of symbiotic fungal taxa showed that similar outcomes of interactions in distant related root symbioses are examples of convergent evolution. The order Sebacinales represents a sister group to the Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota) that is comprised of ectomycorrhizal, ericoid-, orchid- mycorrhizal, root endophytic fungi and saprotrophs (Oberwinkler et al., 2013). Sebacinoid taxa are widely distributed from arctic to temperate to tropical ecosystems and are among the most common and species-rich groups of ECM, OM and endophytic fungi (Tedersoo et al., 2012, Tedersoo et al., 2010, Oberwinkler et al., 2013). The root endophyte Piriformospora indica and the orchid mycorrhizal fungus S. vermifera (MAFF 305830) are non-obligate root symbionts which were shown to be able to interact with many different experimental hosts, including the non-mycorrhizal plant Arabidopsis thaliana. These two fungi display similar colonization strategies in barley and in Arabidopsis and the ability to establish beneficial interactions with different hosts (Deshmukh et al., 2006). Colonization of the roots by P. indica and S. vermifera results in enhanced seed germination and biomass production as well as increased resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses in its experimental hosts, including various members of the Brassicaceae family, barley, Nicotiana attenuata and switchgrass (Ghimire, 2011, Ghimire et al., 2009, Ghimire et al., 2011, Waller et al., 2008, Barazani et al., 2007, Deshmukh et al., 2006). Microarray experiments were performed to identify and characterize conserved sebacinoid genes as key determinants in the Sebacinales symbioses.

Project description:Through transcriptome profiling using RNA-seq, we investigated the mechanisms behind bacterial endosymbiont (Burkholderia rhizoxinica) control over host (Rhizopus microsporus) reproductive biology. By analyzing differential expression across six different conditions, including fungal opposite mates growing independently with or without endosymbionts, as well as opposite mates growing together with endosymbionts (mating) or without endosymbionts (no mating), we were able to identify that endosymbionts control expression of a Ras signaling protein critical for sexual reproduction in many fungi (Ras2). As little is known regarding sexual reproduction in Mucoromycotina, we also used these data to investigate conservation of sex-related genes across all fungi, as well as predict potential genes involved in sensing of trisporic acid, the mating pheromone used by these fungi. 6 different conditions were analyzed, each consisting of two biological replicates. These included Rhizopus microsporus ATCC52813 (sex +) growing alone with endosymbionts, R. microsporus ATCC52814 (sex -) growing alone with endosymbionts, ATCC 52813 growing alone without endosymbionts, ATCC52814 growing alone without endosymbionts, ATCC52813 and ATCC52814 growing together with endosymbionts (successfully mating), and ATCC52813 and ATCC52814 growing together without endosymbionts (failure to mate). In each condition, fungi were cultivated on half-strength PDA and plugs of mycelium were placed at the edge of the plate. After 6 days, approximately 2.5 cm of tissue were harvested from the center of the plate. Each biological replicate consists of 5 plates which were pooled prior to RNA extraction to ensure sufficient tissue was collected.
