Hydroxamic acid from Histoplasma capsulatum that displays growth factor activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growth factor(s) present in a spent liquid medium after culture of the yeast form of Histoplasma capsulatum enhanced both yeast and mycelial growth of nine isolates tested. Hydroxamic acid extracted from the culture fluid displayed growth factor activity.

Identification of coprogen B and its breakdown products from Histoplasma capsulatum.
Iron added to a chemically defined liquid medium suppressed hydroxamic acid production at 37 degrees C by yeast cells of Histoplasma capsulatum. Four hydroxamic acids, HA-I, HA-II, HA-III, and HA-IV, present in the low-iron fluid after the culture of H. capsulatum were isolated by extraction and cation-exchange chromatography through cellulose phosphate (0.35% formic acid). Visible spectra of p...
متن کاملReduction of a tetrazolium salt in determining growth activity of yeast-phase Histoplasma capsulatum.
A colorimetric method using a tetrazolium compound, 3,4,5-dimethylthiozalil-(1 or 2),2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (TTBr), was developed for studying the growth activity of yeast-phase Histoplasma capsulatum. Materials extracted in phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, from cells at different stages of growth reduced TTBr. Colorimetric changes were correlated with enzymatic activity. Under standardized c...
متن کاملIdentification of constituents of human neutrophil azurophil granules that mediate fungistasis against Histoplasma capsulatum.
Previously we demonstrated that human neutrophils mediate potent and long-lasting fungistasis against Histoplasma capsulatum yeasts and that all of the fungistatic activity resides in the azurophil granules. In the present study, specific azurophil granule constituents with fungistatic activity were identified by incubation with H. capsulatum yeasts for 24 h and by quantifying the subsequent gr...
متن کاملScreening of Amino Acids on the Growth of Microsporum Canis and Histoplasma Capsulatum
Amino acids are the important nitrogenous components responsible for the growth and reproduction of fungi. During this study 10 grams of each amino acids were added into 50ml of sabourd dextrose (SD) liquid media. Later on they were inoculated with isolated dermatophytic fungi ie Microsporum canis and Histoplasma capsulatum and incubated at 25±1oc for 15 days. After 15 days grown fungal were me...
متن کاملHydroxamate siderophores of Histoplasma capsulatum.
The zoopathogenic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, like other eukaryotic aerobic microorganisms, requires iron for growth. Under conditions of low iron availability, the fungus secretes hydroxamates that function as siderophores (iron chelators). The experiments to be reported were designed to gather further information on the hydroxamate siderophores of H. capsulatum. The fungus was grown in a s...
