Three minor peptaibols, trichokonins (TKs)-Ia, Ib, and IX, were obtained from the culture broth of Trichoderma koningii Oudemans. Primary structures of these peptaibols were elucidated by ion-spray ionization mass spectrometry (ISI-MS) including the collision-induced dissociation (CID) technique together with two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY).

A peptide mixture named tolypin, originally isolated from species of the fungal genus Tolypocladium, was structurally characterised and sequences compared to those reported for efrapeptins isolated from strains of Tolypocladium inflatum. Chiral amino acid analysis, direct infusion, and online HPLC electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry provided composition, molecular weights of peptides, and series of diagnostic fragment ions. Sequences deduced from ESI-MS revealed that tolypins C-G are identical to efrapeptins C-G.

Fungal associations with nematodes have attracted scientific attention because of the need to develop new biocontrol agents. In this context, , an antagonistic fungus previously isolated from the plant parasitic cyst nematode , was selected to carry out an in-depth metabolomic study for its active metabolites. Herein, three new nonapeptide peptaibols with leucinostatin based sequences were isolated and identified by 1, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS-MS.

1,4-Disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole (Tz) is widely used in peptides as a trans-amide bond mimic, despite having hazardous effects on the native peptide activity. The impact of amide bond substitution by Tz on peptide secondary structures is scarcely documented. We performed a Tz scan, by systematically replacing peptide bonds following the Aib residues with Tz on two model peptaibols: alamethicin F50/5 and bergofungin D, which adopt stable α- and 310 helices, respectively.

1. An existing assay for UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activity in trout liver microsomes was optimized using trout liver S9 fractions. Individual experiments were conducted to determine the time dependence of UGT activity as well as optimal levels of S9 protein, uridine 5'-diphosphoglucuronic acid (UDPGA), substrate (p-nitrophenol) and alamethicin, a pore-forming agent added to eliminate latency.

The filamentous fungus designated 'Trichoderma viride' strain 63 C-1 simultaneously produces suzukacillins (SZs), two microheterogeneous groups of peptaibols, under submerged culture conditions. Both groups are readily distinguishable by TLC: the major group is designated SZ-A, whereas the minor group with a higher Rf value is named SZ-B. The peptide mixture was obtained from a MeOH extract of the mycelium.
