Cyclosporin C is the main antifungal compound produced by Acremonium luzulae.
A strain of Acremonium luzulae (Fuckel) W. Gams was selected in screening new microorganisms for biological control of fruit postharvest diseases, especially gray and blue mold diseases on apples and strawberries. This strain manifests a very strong activity against a large number of phytopathogenic fungi. In this work, the product responsible for this antifungal activity was isolated from modi...
متن کاملMicrobial hydroxylation of progesterone with Acremonium strictum.
Microbial hydroxylation of progesterone occurred in the culture of Acremonium strictum PTCC 5282 to produce two hydroxylated pregnene-like steroids. The metabolites were purified and characterized using spectroscopic methods and identified as 15alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and 15alpha-hydroxydeoxycorticosterone.
متن کاملMaltophilin: a new antifungal compound produced by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia R3089.
Strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia R3089, isolated from the rhizosphere of rape plants (Brassica napus L.), produced a novel antifungal compound, named maltophilin, which inhibited the growth of various saprophytic, human-pathogenic and phytopathogenic fungi but was inactive against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Maltophilin is a novel macrocyclic lactam antibiotic with a molecu...
متن کاملA case of colonization of a prosthetic mitral valve by Acremonium strictum.
A case of colonization of a prosthetic mitral valve in a 73-year-old Spanish male by the fungus Acremonium strictum W. Gams is described. The valve was replaced due to paravalvular leak and severe insufficiency and the patient died of multiorgan failure. The identity of the fungus was determined by morphological studies and it was confirmed by the analysis of the ITS region sequence analysis. M...
متن کاملCrystal structure of glucooligosaccharide oxidase from Acremonium strictum
Introduction Sugar oxidases and dehydrogenases that catalyze carbohydrate oxidation into the corresponding lactones are of considerable commercial importance. Glucooligosaccharide oxidase (GOOX) from Acremonium strictum was screened with the aim of identifying enzymes with potential applications such as an oligosaccharide acid production and various alternative carbohydrate assays. Screening of...
