The anti-neuroinflammatory meroterpenoid citreohybridonol was isolated for the first time from a sponge-derived fungus Penicillium atrovenetum. In this study, in addition to isolation and structure featuring, its unambiguous absolute configuration was determined exclusively by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The C-17-keto tautomer was clearly observed in X-ray analysis. The substance crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2 with a = 10.7496(5) Å, b = 14.3286(7) Å, c = 17.4909(8) Å, β = 103.235(2)°, V = 2622.5(2) Å, Z = 2, D = 1.280 g/cm. The chirality of the asymmetric carbon atoms was as follows: C3 (S), C5 (R), C6 (S), C8 (S), C9 (R), C10 (R), C13 (R), C14 (R).

Fungi in the Antarctic Cryosphere: Using DNA Metabarcoding to Reveal Fungal Diversity in Glacial Ice from the Antarctic Peninsula Region.

Microb Ecol

We assessed fungal diversity present in glacial from the Antarctic Peninsula using DNA metabarcoding through high-throughput sequencing (HTS). We detected a total of 353,879 fungal DNA reads, representing 94 genera and 184 taxa, in glacial ice fragments obtained from seven sites in the north-west Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. The phylum Ascomycota dominated the sequence diversity, followed by Basidiomycota and Mortierellomycota.

On the fifth day following inoculation into an unstirred liquid surface culture, Penicillium atrovenetum abruptly, and reproducibly, secretes large quantities (2 g/liter) of the toxic antibiotic 3-nitropropionate into the medium. Concomitantly and with the same time course, crude extracts of the fungus acquire the ability to catalyze the oxidation of 3-nitropropionate by O2. We purified this activity some 300-fold to homogeneity and find it to be a soluble, dimeric (Mr = 73,000) flavoprotein oxidase having FMN as prosthetic group with lambda max = 363 and 433 nm.

Thiabendazole, 2-(4'-thiazolyl) benzimidazole (TBZ) inhibited the growth of Penicillium atrovenetum at 8 to 10 mug/ml. Oxygen consumption with exogenous glucose was inhibited at 20 mug/ml, but endogenous respiration required more than 100 mug/ml. TBZ inhibited completely the following systems of isolated heart or fungus mitochondria: reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase, succinic oxidase, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-cytochrome c reductase, and succinic-cytochrome c reductase at concentrations of 10, 167, 10, and 0.
