AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on the transformation of the bioactive compound (-)-mellein from a marine-derived fungus, Cladosporium sp.
  • A culture with the bacterium Stappia sp. led to the creation of a new metabolite called (3R,4S)-4-hydroxymellein.
  • The stereostructure of this new metabolite was determined through comprehensive analysis of physical and chemical data.

Article Abstract

The biological transformation of the bioactive dihydroisocoumarin, (-)-mellein, isolated from the marine-derived fungus Cladosporium sp., was studied. The preparative-scale culture of (-)-mellein with a marine isolate of a bacterium Stappia sp. resulted in the isolation of its oxidized metabolite, (3R,4S)-4-hydroxymellein. The stereostructure of the metabolite obtained was assigned on the basis of detailed physicochemical data analyses.

Five new polyketides, asperochrapyran () and asperochralactones A-D (-), along with 12 known polyketides (-), were obtained from the fungal strain . Structures of all isolates were elucidated by their spectroscopic parameters. The relative configurations of the new compounds were deduced by the data of coupling constants and NOESY spectra.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) affects the metabolome of two virulence strains of a fungus isolated from grapevines.
  • The research included testing the phytotoxicity of fungal extracts on tomato plants and the cytotoxicity on mammalian cell lines, revealing reduced toxicity in the presence of GABA.
  • Metabolomic analysis identified several compounds produced by the fungus, showing that GABA both decreases the main compound (indole-3-carboxylic acid) and diversifies the metabolites produced.

Objective: To explore the secondary metabolites of fungus Aspergillus ochraceus LCJ11-102 associated with the coral Dichotella gemmacea under environmental stress and to obtain characteristic compounds with biological activities.

Methods: A nutrient-deprived culture medium (biomimetic culture) and a high salt culture medium were used for fermentation. Fingerprints of HPLC of the fermentation broth were used to investigate the diversity of secondary metabolites.

A new [11]cytochalasin derivative, xylarisin (1), was isolated from the marine-derived fungus Xylaria sp. PSU-F100 along with six known metabolites: three mellein derivatives (2-4), one pyrone derivative (5) and two carboxylic acids (6,7). The structure and stereochemistry of 1 were determined by NMR and X-ray diffraction analyses.
