JOURNAL OF ASIAN NATURAL PRODUCTS RESEARCH 2024:1-7. [PMID: 39093992 DOI: 10.1080/10286020.2024.2385367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
Four isocoumarin derivatives (1-4) and five phenols (5-9) were obtained from the endophytic fungus Pezicula neosporulosa VDB39, which was isolated from the branches of Vaccinium dunalianum Wight (Ericaceae). Compound 1 is a new derivative of isocoumarin. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Single X-ray crystallography confirmed the absolute configuration of compound 1. Additionally, the antiphytopathogenic fungi activity of isocoumarin derivatives (1-4) was evaluated.

Nguyen MP, Lehosmaa K, Toth K, Koskimäki JJ, Häggman H, Pirttilä AM. Weather in two climatic regions shapes the diversity and drives the structure of fungal endophytic community of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit. ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOME 2024; 19:7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) is one of the most important economic and natural resources in Northern Europe. Despite its importance, the endophytic fungal community of the fruits has rarely been investigated. Biogeographic patterns and determinants of the fungal diversity in the bilberry fruit are poorly understood, albeit fungal endophytes can have a close relationship with the host plants. Here, we investigated the effect of climatic regions, and their weather conditions within growth season and soil properties on fungal endophytic communities of bilberry fruits collected from northern and southern regions of Finland using high-throughput sequencing technology targeting the internal transcribed spacer 2 ribosomal DNA region for fungi. RESULTS Species richness and beta diversity (variation in community structure) were higher in the southern compared to the studied northern region. The weather condition of the growth season drove both fungal richness and community structure. Furthermore, abundance of the genera Venturia, Cladosporium, and Podosphaera was influenced by the weather, being different between the south and north regions. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that diversity and assembly structure of the fungal endophytes in bilberry fruits follow similar patterns as for foliar fungal endophytes, being shaped by various environmental factors, such as the climate and surrounding vegetation.

Abstract
Blueberries (Vaccinium sp.) are consumed all around the globe, however, their endophytic community has not been thoroughly researched, specifically their fruit endophytes. We aimed to isolate and analyze easily cultivable blueberry fruit endophytes to help in future research, concerning probiotic microorganisms. Twelve strains were isolated in this pilot study, genetically homologous with Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus cohnii, Salmonella enterica, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and [Candida] santamariae. To determine the molecular composition of these isolates we used label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). To our knowledge, this is the first time that SERS spectra for L. mesenteroides and C. santamariae are presented, as well as the first report of Candida yeast, isolated specifically from blueberry fruits. Our findings suggest that the differences in tested yeast and bacteria SERS spectra and subsequent differentiation are facilitated by minor shifts in spectral peak positions as well as their intensities. Moreover, we used principal component and discriminant function analyses to differentiate chemotypes within our isolate group, proving the sensitivity of the technique and its usefulness to recognize different strains in plant-associated microbe samples, which will aid to streamline future studies in biofertilizers and biocontrol agents.

Metabarcoding of fungal assemblages in Vaccinium myrtillus endosphere suggests colonization of above-ground organs by some ericoid mycorrhizal and DSE fungi. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11013.

Abstract
Plants harbor in their external surfaces and internal tissues a highly diverse and finely structured microbial assembly, the microbiota. Each plant compartment usually represents a unique ecological niche hosting a distinct microbial community and niche differentiation, which may mirror distinct functions of a specialized microbiota, has been mainly investigated for bacteria. Far less is known for the fungal components of the plant-associated microbiota. Here, we applied a metabarcoding approach to describe the fungal assemblages in different organs of Vaccinium myrtillus plants (Ericaceae) collected in a subalpine meadow in North-West Italy, and identified specific taxa enriched in internal tissues of roots, stems, leaves and flowers. We also traced the distribution of some important fungi commonly associated with plants of the family Ericaceae, namely the ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi and the dark septate endophytes (DSE), both playing important roles in plant growth and health. Operational taxonomic units attributed to established ErM fungal species in the genus Hyaloscypha and to DSE species in the Phialocephala-Acephala applanata complex (PAC) were found in all the plant organs. Mycorrhizal fungi are thought to be strictly associated with the plant roots, and this first observation of ErM fungi in the above-ground organs of the host plant may be explained by the evolutionary closeness of ErM fungi in the genus Hyaloscypha with non mycorrhizal fungal endophytes. This is also witnessed by the closer similarities of the ErM fungal genomes with the genomes of plant endophytes than with those of other mycorrhizal fungi, such as arbuscular or ectomycorrhizal fungi.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SARS-CoV-2, an emerging strain of coronavirus, has affected millions of people from all the continents of world and received worldwide attention. This emerging health crisis calls for the urgent development of specific therapeutics against COVID-19 to potentially reduce the burden of this emerging pandemic. PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the anti-viral efficacy of natural bioactive entities against COVID-19 via molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. METHODS A library of 27 caffeic-acid derivatives was screened against 5 proteins of SARS-CoV-2 by using Molegro Virtual Docker 7 to obtain the binding energies and interactions between compounds and SARS-CoV-2 proteins. ADME properties and toxicity profiles were investigated via www.swissadme.ch web tools and Toxtree respectively. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed to determine the stability of the lead-protein interactions. RESULTS Our obtained results has uncovered khainaoside C, 6-O-Caffeoylarbutin, khainaoside B, khainaoside C and vitexfolin A as potent modulators of COVID-19 possessing more binding energies than nelfinavir against COVID-19 Mpro, Nsp15, SARS-CoV-2 spike S2 subunit, spike open state and closed state structure respectively. While Calceolarioside B was identified as pan inhibitor, showing strong molecular interactions with all proteins except SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein closed state. The results are supported by 20 ns molecular dynamics simulations of the best complexes. CONCLUSION This study will hopefully pave a way for development of phytonutrients-based antiviral therapeutic for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 and further studies are recommended to evaluate the antiviral effects of these phytochemicals against SARS-CoV-2 in in vitro and in vivo models.

Abstract
Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) are one of the most studied groups of root fungal endophytes in recent years. However, the effects of DSE on host plant are still under debate, and the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we identified a DSE fungus of the genus Anteaglonium, named T010, from the wild blueberry. When inoculated into Vaccinium corymbosum L. plants, T010 could enhance root growth and promote shoot branching, leading to increased plant growth. By comparative transcriptome analysis, we obtained 1948 regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the V. corymbosum plants treated by T010. Further functional enrichment analysis identified a series of DEGs enriched in transcriptional regulation, material transport, phytohormone biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis. Moreover, the comparative analysis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry verified that T010 treatment induced the changes in the contents of various phytohormones and flavonoids. This is the first report on the isolation of DSE fungi of the genus Anteaglonium from blueberry roots. Moreover, our results suggested that T010 colonization could result in a series of changes in cell metabolism, biosynthesis and signal pathways, thereby promoting plant growth. Particularly, the changes of phytohormone and flavonoid metabolism induced by T010 colonization might contribute to the promotion of blueberry growth. Our results will provide new insights into understanding of the interaction of DSE fungi and host plants, as well as the development and utilization of DSE preparations.

Abstract
Fungal endophytes are sources of novel bioactive compounds but relatively few agriculturally important fruiting plants harboring endophytes have been carefully studied. Previously, we identified a griseofulvin-producing Xylaria species isolated from Vaccinium angustifolium, V. corymbosum, and Pinus strobus. Morphological and genomic analysis determined that it was a new species, described here as Xylaria ellisii. Untargeted high-resolution LC-MS metabolomic analysis of the extracted filtrates and mycelium from 15 blueberry isolates of this endophyte revealed differences in their metabolite profiles. Toxicity screening of the extracts showed that bioactivity was not linked to production of griseofulvin, indicating this species was making additional bioactive compounds. Multivariate statistical analysis of LC-MS data was used to identify key outlier features in the spectra. This allowed potentially new compounds to be targeted for isolation and characterization. This approach resulted in the discovery of eight new proline-containing cyclic nonribosomal peptides, which we have given the trivial names ellisiiamides A-H. Three of these peptides were purified and their structures elucidated by one and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1D and 2D NMR) and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HRMS/MS) analysis. The remaining five new compounds were identified and annotated by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Ellisiiamide A demonstrated Gram-negative activity against Escherichia coli BW25113, which is the first reported for this scaffold. Additionally, several known natural products including griseofulvin, dechlorogriseofulvin, epoxy/cytochalasin D, zygosporin E, hirsutatin A, cyclic pentapeptides #1–2 and xylariotide A were also characterized from this species.

A novel green approach for fabricating visible, light sensitive nano-broccoli-like antimony trisulfide by marine Sb(v)-reducing bacteria: Revealing potential self-purification in coastal zones. Enzyme Microb Technol 2020; 136:109514. [PMID: 32331725 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2020.109514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2019] [Revised: 12/29/2019] [Accepted: 01/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) is industrially important for processes ranging from a semiconductor dopant through batteries to a flame retardant. Approaches for fabricating Sb2S3 nanostructures or thin films are by chemical or physicochemical methods, while there have been no report focused on the biological synthesis of nano Sb2S3. In the present study, we fabricated nano-broccoli-like Sb2S3 using Sb(V) reducing bacteria. Thirty four marine and terrestrial strains are capable of fabricating Sb2S3 after 1-5 days of incubation in different selective media. The nano-broccoli-like bio-Sb2S3 was light sensitive between 400-550 nm, acting as a photo-catalyst with the bandgap energy of 1.84 eV. Moreover, kinetic and mechanism studies demonstrated that a k value of ∼0.27 h-1 with an R2 = 0.99. The bio-Sb2S3 supplemented system exhibited approximately 18.4 times higher photocatalytic activity for degrading methyl orange (MO) to SO42-, CO2 and H2O compared with that of control system, which had a k value of ∼0.015 h-1 (R2 = 0.99) under visible light. Bacterial community shift analyses showed that the addition of S or Fe species to the media significantly changed the bacterial communities driven by antimony stress. From this work it appears Clostridia, Bacilli and Gammaproteobacteria from marine sediment are potentially ideal candidates for fabricating bio-Sb2S3 due to their excellent electron transfer capability. Based on the above results, we propose a potential visible light bacterially catalyzed self-purification of both heavy metal and persistent organic contamination polluted coastal waters.
