The composition of pectin hydrolase complexes produced by various Aspergillus alliaceus strains was studied under the conditions of induction, catabolite repression, or constitutive synthesis. The strains were found similar in terms of the polygalacturonase spectrum and different with regard to the levels of endo- and exoenzyme activities. The analysis of the zymograms of inducible polygalacturonases revealed that all tested cultures contained at least 24 molecular forms of polygalacturonase. Taking into account only the three molecular forms typical of all analyzed strains of A. alliaceus with pI values of 5.7, 5.9, and 6.3, one can use the spectrum of constitutive, catabolite repression-resistant polygalacturonases as an additional taxonomic species criterion.

Marine-derived fungi have emerged as a source for novel metabolites with a broad range of bioactivities. However, accessing the full potential of fungi under standard laboratory conditions remains challenging. LC-MS-based metabolomics in combination with varied culture conditions is a fast and powerful tool to detect new metabolites.

The present study describes the microbial transformation of anabolic drugs, metenolone acetate (1), and epiandrosterone (6). Three new metabolites, 6β,17β-dihydroxy-1-methyl-3-oxo-5α-androst-1-en (2), 5α,15α-dihydroxy-1-methyl-3-oxo-1-en-17-yl acetate (3), 15β-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-oxo-5α-androst-1,4-dien-17-yl acetate (4), and a known metabolite, 17β-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-androstadiene-3-one (5) were obtained by biotransformation of metenolone acetate (1) via Trametes hirsuta mushroom. Metabolites 7, and 8 were obtained from the incubation of epiandrosterone (6) with Cunninghamella blakesleeana.

Background: The cryptic Aspegillus species are rare, these microorganisms are usually more resistant to common antifungal therapies. Therefore, a correct identification is important when evaluating the impact of such species in aspergillosis.
Aims: We aimed to describe the frequency, clinical and microbiological characteristics, and the outcomes of those cases of aspergillosis caused by cryptic species in a tertiary hospital.
