Project description:Pochonia chlamydosporia (Goddard) Zare & Gams (Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes, Hypocreales, Pochoniaceae, Pochonia) is a nematophagous fungus with significant potential as a biocontrol agent against animal-parasitic nematode. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying its infection process remain poorly understood. This study aims to provide a comprehensive investigation of P. chlamydosporia infection dynamics in Parascaris equorum eggs using both microscopic and proteomic approaches. The infection was monitored at three distinct stages (early, middle, and late), with corresponding ultrastructural and molecular changes observed. Microscopic analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and light microscopy (LM) revealed the progressive invasion of P. chlamydosporia into nematode eggs. These observations provided detailed insights into the morphological changes in both fungal structures and nematode eggs, highlighting key infection stages such as fungal attachment, germination, and egg degradation. Furthermore, the observations confirmed the stages of fungal colonization, emphasizing the dynamic host-pathogen interaction at the macroscopic level. To complement these observations, a 4D-DIA-based quantitative proteomics approach was employed to analyze the exoproteomic changes in P. chlamydosporia during infection. A total of 410 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified across the three infection stages, with 313 proteins upregulated and 403 proteins downregulated. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that these DEPs are involved in critical biological processes, including cellular stress response, proteolysis, metabalic process, and hydrolase activity. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis further identified key infection-associated pathways, such as signal transduction, cell wall biosynthesis, energy metabolism, and host-pathogen interactions. These findings suggest that P. chlamydosporia employs a highly coordinated molecular strategy to adapt to and exploit its host. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) validation of key genes involved in signal transduction and immune evasion mechanisms further supported the molecular basis of P. chlamydosporia's parasitic behavior. These findings contribute to our understanding of fungal-nematode interactions and lay a solid foundation for the development of P. chlamydosporia as a sustainable tool for integrated pest management.

Project description:Metabolites from a collection of selected fungal isolates have been screened for insecticidal activity against the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. Crude organic extracts of culture filtrates from six fungal isolates (Paecilomyces lilacinus, Pochonia chlamydosporia, Penicillium griseofulvum, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Talaromyces pinophilus) caused mortality of aphids within 72 h after treatment. In this work, bioassay-guided fractionation has been used to characterize the main bioactive metabolites accumulated in fungal extracts. Leucinostatins A, B and D represent the bioactive compounds produced by P. lilacinus. From P. griseofulvum and B. bassiana extracts, griseofulvin and beauvericin have been isolated, respectively; 3-O-Methylfunicone and a mixture of destruxins have been found in the active fractions of T. pinophilum and M. anisopliae, respectively. A novel azaphilone compound, we named chlamyphilone, with significant insecticidal activity, has been isolated from the culture filtrate of P. chlamydosporia. Its structure has been determined using extensive spectroscopic methods and chemical derivatization.
