[PMID: 39128577 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Microorganisms co-exist and co-evolve in nature, forming intricate ecological communities. The interspecies cross-talk within these communities creates and sustains their great biosynthetic potential, making them an important source of natural medicines and high-value-added chemicals. However, conventional investigations into microbial metabolites are typically carried out in pure cultures, resulting in the absence of specific activating factors and consequently causing a substantial number of biosynthetic gene clusters to remain silent. This, in turn, hampers the in-depth exploration of microbial biosynthetic potential and frequently presents researchers with the challenge of rediscovering compounds. In response to this challenge, the coculture strategy has emerged to explore microbial biosynthetic capabilities and has shed light on the study of cross-talk mechanisms. These elucidated mechanisms will contribute to a better understanding of complex biosynthetic regulations and offer valuable insights to guide the mining of secondary metabolites. This review summarizes the research advances in microbial cross-talk mechanisms, with a particular focus on the mechanisms that activate the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Additionally, the instructive value of these mechanisms for developing strategies to activate biosynthetic pathways is discussed. Moreover, challenges and recommendations for conducting in-depth studies on the cross-talk mechanisms are presented.

Abstract
Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (ZSS) is the first choice for the treatment of insomnia. This research aimed to reveal the spatial distribution of identifying quality markers of ZSS and to illustrate the metabolite quality characteristics of this herbal medicine. Here, we performed a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) in situ to detect and image 33 metabolites in ZSS, including three saponins, six flavonoids, four alkaloids, eight fatty acids, and 12 amino acids. The MALDI images of the metabolites clearly showed the heterogeneous spatial distribution in different regions of ZSS tissues, such as the cotyledon, endosperm, and radicle. The distribution area of two saponins, six flavonoids, and three alkaloids increased significantly after the fried processing of ZSS. Based on the ion images, samples with different processing technologies were distinguished unambiguously by the pattern recognition method of orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA). Simultaneously, 23 major influencing components exerting higher ion intensities were identified as the potential quality markers of ZSS. Results obtained in the current research demonstrate that the processing of ZSS changes its content and distribution of the medicinal components. The analysis of MALDI-MSI provides a novel MS-based molecular imaging approach to investigate and monitor traditional medicinal plants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Two main approaches (organ culture and hypothermia) for the preservation and storage of human donor corneas are globally adopted for corneal preservation before the transplant. Hypothermia is a hypothermic storage which slows down cellular metabolism while organ culture, a corneal culture performed at 28-37 °C, maintains an active corneal metabolism. Researchers, till now, have just studied the impact of organ culture on human cornea after manipulating and disrupting tissues. OBJECTIVES The aim of the current work was to optimize an analytical procedure which can be useful for discovering biomarkers capable of predicting tissue health status. For the first time, this research proposed a preliminary metabolomics study on medium for organ culture without manipulating and disrupting the valuable human tissues which could be still used for transplantation. METHODS In particular, the present research proposed a method for investigating changes in the medium, over a storage period of 20 days, in presence and absence of a human donor cornea. An untargeted metabolomics approach using UHPLC-QTOF was developed to deeply investigate the differences on metabolites and metabolic pathways and the influence of the presence of the cornea inside the medium. RESULTS Differences in the expression of some compounds emerged from this preliminary metabolomics approach, in particular in medium maintained for 10 and 20 days in presence but also in the absence of cornea. A total of 173 metabolites have been annotated and 36 pathways were enriched by pathway analysis. CONCLUSION The results revealed a valuable untargeted metabolomics approach which can be applied in organ culture metabolomics.

Abstract
Bioactivity screening revealed that the antifungal activities of EtOAc extracts from coculture broths of Trametes versicolor SY630 with either Vanderbylia robiniophila SY341 or Ganoderma gibbosum SY1001 were significantly improved compared to that of monocultures. Activity-guided isolation led to the discovery of five aromatic compounds (1-5) from the coculture broth of T. versicolor SY630 and V. robiniophila SY341 and two sphingolipids (6 and 7) from the coculture broth of T. versicolor SY630 and G. gibbosum SY1001. Tramevandins A-C (1-3) and 17-ene-1-deoxyPS (6) are new compounds, while 1-deoxyPS (7) is a new natural product. Notably, compound 2 represents a novel scaffold, wherein the highly modified p-terphenyl bears a benzyl substituent. The absolute configurations of those new compounds were elucidated by X-ray diffraction, ECD calculations, and analysis of physicochemical constants. Compounds 1, 2, and 5-7 exhibited different degrees of antimicrobial activity, and the antifungal activities of compounds 6 and 7 against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans are comparable to those of fluconazole, nystatin, and sphingosine, respectively. Transcriptome analysis, propidium iodide staining, ergosterol quantification, and feeding assays showed that the isolated sphingolipids can extensively downregulate the late biosynthetic pathway of ergosterol in C. albicans, representing a promising mechanism to combat antibiotic-resistant fungi.

Bioactivity and Metabolomic Profile of Extracts Derived from Mycelial Solid Cultures of Hypsizygus marmoreus. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2552. [PMID: 37894210 PMCID: PMC10609027 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11102552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The beech mushroom (Hypsizygus marmoreus) is a highly nutritious, edible medicinal mushroom native to East Asia. The present research investigated the impact of different substrates on the metabolite compositions of H. marmoreus mycelia cultivated in vitro. The substrates tested included malt extract agar, malt extract agar enriched with barley malt, and malt extract agar enriched with grape pomace. The study also assessed antimicrobial and antiradical activities of the extracts against gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), yeasts (Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. parapsilosis), and dermatophytes (Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. tonsurans, T. rubrum, Arthroderma quadrifidum, A. gypseum, A. curreyi, and A. insingulare). The results revealed that the H. marmoreus mycelia extracts demonstrated antibacterial and antifungal activities against the tested microorganisms. Extracts obtained from the cultivation in substrates enriched with either barley malt or grape pomace exhibited the highest antibacterial activity among all the tested bacterial strains except for P. aeruginosa. The same extracts showed the highest inhibitory effect against C. albicans and C. parapsilosis. Noteworthy, the extract from the mushroom cultivated in the substrate enriched with grape pomace also exhibited remarkable efficacy against T. mentagrophytes and T. tonsurans. Terpenoid and carbapenem compounds could be related to the antimicrobial properties of the extracts from mushrooms cultivated in substrates enriched with grape pomace. In comparison, the higher antiradical properties could be related to the content of indole compounds. In conclusion, growth substrate selection affects the nutritional and medicinal properties of H. marmoreus, making it a valuable contribution to the understanding of the cultivation of this mushroom.

Abstract
In our previous work, postredienes A-C, three unusual linear sesterterpenes with high antifungal activities, were isolated from Pleurotus ostreatus SY10 when cocultured with Trametes robiniophila SY636. However, their titers were low, and exploration of newly biosynthesized trace analogues is required. Herein, genome mining analysis predicted that 17 gene clusters are involved in terpenoid biosynthesis in P. ostreatus. Thus, coculture conditions for strains SY10 and SY636 were optimized using a single-factor test and Box-Behnken design. As a result, the titers of postredienes A-C were increased by over 2.5-fold, reaching 1.28 to 8.40 mg/L. Moreover, five new terpenoids, named postredienes D-H (1-5), were successfully isolated. Compound 1 exhibited activities against the human pathogenic fungi Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans comparable to those of amphotericin B. Compound 2 represents a novel sesterterpene with a five-membered ring at C-7. The absolute configurations of 1-5 were elucidated by making the methoxyphenylacetic acid esters and acetonide derivatives, combined with ECD and NMR calculation. Two potential gene clusters and relevant biosynthetic pathways for 1-5 were subsequently proposed based on real-time reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis. The current study provides new insights into the research of terpenoid biosynthesis genes in P. ostreatus and other basidiomycetes.

Abstract
The demand for cheap, healthy, and sustainable alternative protein sources has turned research interest into microbial proteins. Mycoproteins prevail due to their quite balanced amino acid profile, low carbon footprint and high sustainability potential. The goal of this research was to investigate the capability of Pleurotus ostreatus to metabolize the main sugars of agro-industrial side streams, such as aspen wood chips hydrolysate, to produce high-value protein with low cost. Our results indicate that P. ostreatus LGAM 1123 could be cultivated both in a C-6 (glucose)- and C-5(xylose)-sugar-containing medium for mycoprotein production. A mixture of glucose and xylose was found to be ideal for biomass production with high protein content and rich amino acid profile. P. ostreatus LGAM 1123 cultivation in a 4 L stirred-tank bioreactor using aspen hydrolysate was achieved with 25.0 ± 3.4 g L-1 biomass production, 1.8 ± 0.4 d-1 specific growth rate and a protein yield of 54.5 ± 0.5% (g/100 g sugars). PCA analysis of the amino acids revealed a strong correlation between the amino acid composition of the protein produced and the ratios of glucose and xylose in the culture medium. The production of high-nutrient mycoprotein by submerged fermentation of the edible fungus P. ostreatus using agro-industrial hydrolysates is a promising bioprocess in the food and feed industry.

Abstract
Fomitopsis officinalis is a holartic polyporous mushroom that forms large fruiting bodies on old standing trees, fallen logs, or stumps. F. officinalis is a medicinal mushroom species that is most commonly used in traditional European medicine. In this study, we explore the spatial metabolic differences in F. officinalis' mushroom parts, i.e., the cap (median and apical parts) and the hymenium. Additionally, chromatographic analysis was conducted in order to unravel the composition of specialized metabolites in the hydroalcoholic mushroom extracts. The potential antifungal and bacterial effects of extracts were tested against pathogen strains of Gram+ and Gram- bacteria, and yeast, dermatophytic, and fungal-pool species. Extracts from the apical part were the richest in terms of phenolic compounds; consistent with this finding, the extracts were also the most effective antiradical and antimicrobial agents with MIC values < 100 µg/mL for most of the tested bacterial and dermatophytic species. According to these findings, F. officinalis extracts are valuable sources of primary and secondary metabolites, thus suggesting potential applications in the formulation of food supplements with biological properties in terms of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

[PMID: 36422242 PMCID: PMC9699243 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12111102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Lake Mariout is Egypt's degraded coastal marine habitat that encompasses a variety of wastes. The biodiversity and hard environmental conditions allow the co-existence of organisms with high resistance and rich metabolism, making them potential candidates for screening and isolating novel microbial strains. A bacterial isolate (BF202) cultured from the marine sediments of Alexandria's Mariout Lake (Egypt) was tested for its antimicrobial and anticancer potential. The phylogenetic analysis of the isolated strain's 16S rDNA and gyrB revealed that BF202 belongs to Brevibacillus laterosporus (B. laterosporus). Antibiosis of B. laterosporus was confirmed against microbial pathogens including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, and Staphylococcus aureus. The highest antibacterial activity was detected on glucose peptone medium after 18 h of incubation at 35 °C, and at pH of 7.0 in the presence of mannose and ammonium carbonate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The cytotoxicity of the methanolic extract against breast cancer (MCF-7) and normal Vero cell lines, using the MTT test, revealed IC50 values of 7.93 and 23.79 µg/mL, respectively. To identify apoptotic and necrotic cells, a flow cytometric analysis using annexin V-FITC/PI dual-labeling was utilized and recorded a higher number of necrotic cells compared to apoptotic ones. Similarly, the cell cycle S-phase arrest was reported. The LC-MS-MS investigation of B. laterosporus extract and the molecular networking database analysis demonstrated five strategic diketopiperazine compounds with antimicrobial and anticancer activities. Taken together, this research shows that the crude extract of B. laterosporus might be an effective agent against drug-resistant bacteria and malignant disorders due to its richness in diketopiperazines.

Untargeted Metabolomics Used to Describe the Chemical Composition, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Effects of Extracts from Pleurotus spp. Mycelium Grown in Different Culture Media. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:1468. [PMID: 36358124 PMCID: PMC9686522 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11111468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Pleurotus species isolated in vitro were studied to determine the effect of different media on their production of secondary metabolites, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activity. The different metabolites among Pleurotus samples covered a total of 58 pathways. Comparisons were made between the metabolic profiles of Pleurotus spp. mycelia grown in two substrates: Potato-dextrose-agar-PDA, used as control (S1), and PDA enriched with 0.5 % of wheat straw (S2). The main finding was that the metabolic pathways are strongly influenced by the chemical composition of the growth substrate. The antibacterial effects were particularly evident against Escherichia coli, whereas Arthroderma curreyi (CCF 5207) and Trichophyton rubrum (CCF 4933) were the dermatophytes more sensitive to the mushroom extracts. The present study supports more in-depth investigations, aimed at evaluating the influence of growth substrate on Pleurotus spp. antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
