Byssotoxin A, a secondary metabolite of Byssochlamys fulva.

چکیده
Byssochlamys fulva, isolated from corn, was grown on nutrient-amended shredded wheat medium for 14 days at 25 C. Crude solvent extract from these cultures was toxic to brine shrimp, chicken embryos, and rats. The extract was slightly inhibitory to the germination of of pea seeds, but was nontoxic to ten species of bacteria and one of yeast. One metabolite was isolated, given the trivial name byssotoxin A, and partially characterized chemically and physically.

Novel nonadride, heptadride and maleic acid metabolites from the byssochlamic acid producer Byssochlamys fulva IMI 40021 - an insight into the biosynthesis of maleidrides.
The filamentous fungus Byssochlamys fulva strain IMI 40021 produces (+)-byssochlamic acid 1, its novel dihydroanalogue 2 and four related secondary metabolites. Agnestadrides A, 17 and B, 18 constitute a novel class of seven-membered ring, maleic anhydride-containing (hence termed heptadride) natural products. The putative maleic anhydride precursor 5 for both nonadride and heptadride biosynthe...
متن کاملThe pectic enzymes of the fungus Byssochlamys fulva.
It was reported by Beavan & Brown (1949) that cultures of By8aochlamy8 fulva Olliver & Smith produced protopectinase, but neither polygalacturonase nor pectin esterase; they concluded that B. fulva produced a disaggregating enzyme, which lowered the viscosity ofpectin solutions, without the formation of free reducing groups. A re-investigation of the problem has been made, and in a preliminary ...
متن کاملControl of Byssochlamys and Related Heat-resistant Fungi in Grape Products.
Heat-resistant strains of Byssochlamys fulva, B. nivea, and other heat-resistant fungi were isolated from vineyard soil, grapes, grape-processing lines, and waste pomace. They are known to remain in grape juice occasionally and to grow in grape juice products. Ascospores of these fungi have a D value (decimal reduction time) of about 10 min at 190 F (88 C), but in the presence of 90 muliters of...
متن کاملPolyphasic taxonomy of the heat resistant ascomycete genus Byssochlamys and its Paecilomyces anamorphs
Byssochlamys and related Paecilomyces strains are often heat resistant and may produce mycotoxins in contaminated pasteurised foodstuffs. A comparative study of all Byssochlamys species was carried out using a polyphasic approach to find characters that differentiate species and to establish accurate data on potential mycotoxin production by each species. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS region...
