Microbial hydroxylation of progesterone with Acremonium strictum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Characterisation of 3-methylorcinaldehyde synthase (MOS) in Acremonium strictum: first observation of a reductive release mechanism during polyketide biosynthesis.
Isolation and sequencing of a PKS gene isolated from xenovulene-producing cultures of Acremonium strictum indicated the presence of NT-, KS-, AT-, PT-, C-MeT- and R-domains; heterologous expression in Aspergillus oryzae resulted in the production of 3-methylorcinaldehyde, demonstrating the role of the terminal reductase domain in product release.
متن کاملGenetic diversity among clinical isolates of Acremonium strictum determined during an investigation of a fatal mycosis.
Primarily saprophytic in nature, fungi of the genus Acremonium are a well-documented cause of mycetoma and other focal diseases. More recently, a number of Acremonium spp. have been implicated in invasive infections in the setting of severe immunosuppression. During the course of routine microbiological studies involving a case of fatal mycosis in a nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell tran...
متن کاملAcremonium phylogenetic overview and revision of Gliomastix, Sarocladium, and Trichothecium
Over 200 new sequences are generated for members of the genus Acremonium and related taxa including ribosomal small subunit sequences (SSU) for phylogenetic analysis and large subunit (LSU) sequences for phylogeny and DNA-based identification. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that within the Hypocreales, there are two major clusters containing multiple Acremonium species. One clade contains Acremo...
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...
