Abstract:

In this study, the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles by Penicillium chrysogenum, isolated from Ahar copper mine, was investigated. The gold nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing the aqueous gold ions using the culture supernatant of the filamentous fungi. The UV–vis spectrum displayed a characteristic peak at 532 nm that is very specific for gold nanoparticles. The XRD spectrum confirmed the presence of crystalline gold nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy exhibited the intracellular formation of gold nanoparticles in spherical, triangle and rod shapes with the size range of 5 to 100 nm.

Mechanism and regulation of sorbicillin biosynthesis by Penicillium chrysogenum

Penicillium chrysogenum is a filamentous fungus that is used to produce β-lactams at an industrial scale. At an early stage of classical strain improvement, the ability to produce the yellow-coloured sorbicillinoids was lost through mutation. Sorbicillinoids are highly bioactive of great pharmaceutical interest. By repair of a critical mutation in one of the two polyketide synthases in an indus...

Accumulation of intracellular inorganic sulfate by Penicillium chrysogenum.

The cell membranes of microorganisms appear to be rather complex, metabolically active entities, equipped with many specific active transport mechanisms which mediate the uptake and accumulation of a variety of compounds. Bacteria have been shown to accumulate amino acids (Cohen and Rickenberg, 1956; Gale, 1947; 1953), carbohydrates (Cohen and Monod, 1957; Rickenberg et al., 1956), and inorgani...
