Low microbial diversity, yeast prevalence, and nematode-trapping fungal presence in fungal colonization and leaf microbiome of Serjania erecta. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15456. [PMID: 38965317 PMCID: PMC11224404 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-66161-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Medicinal plant microbiomes undergo selection due to secondary metabolite presence. Resident endophytic/epiphytic microorganisms directly influence plant's bioactive compound synthesis. Hypothesizing low microbial diversity in Serjania erecta leaves, we assessed leaf colonization by epiphytic and endophytic fungi. Given its traditional medicinal importance, we estimated diversity in the endophytic fungal microbiome. Analyses included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), isolation of cultivable species, and metagenomics. Epiphytic fungi interacted with S. erecta leaf tissues, horizontally transmitted via stomata/trichome bases, expressing traits for nematode trapping. Cultivable endophytic fungi, known for phytopathogenic habits, didn't induce dysbiosis symptoms. This study confirms low leaf microbiome diversity in S. erecta, with a tendency towards more fungal species, likely due to antibacterial secondary metabolite selection. The classification of Halicephalobus sp. sequence corroborated the presence of nematode eggs on the epidermal surface of S. erecta by SEM. In addition, we confirmed the presence of methanogenic archaea and a considerable number of methanotrophs of the genus Methylobacterium. The metagenomic study of endophytic fungi highlighted plant growth-promoting yeasts, mainly Malassezia, Leucosporidium, Meyerozyma, and Hannaella. Studying endophytic fungi and S. erecta microbiomes can elucidate their impact on beneficial bioactive compound production, on the other hand, it is possible that the bioactive compounds produced by this plant can recruit specific microorganisms, impacting the biological system.

Comparative Analysis of Peniophora lycii and Trametes hirsuta Exoproteomes Demonstrates “Shades of Gray” in the Concept of White-Rotting Fungi. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810322. [PMID: 36142233 PMCID: PMC9499651 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
White-rot basidiomycete fungi are a unique group of organisms that evolved an unprecedented arsenal of extracellular enzymes for an efficient degradation of all components of wood such as cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. The exoproteomes of white-rot fungi represent a natural enzymatic toolbox for white biotechnology. Currently, only exoproteomes of a narrow taxonomic group of white-rot fungi—fungi belonging to the Polyporales order—are extensively studied. In this article, two white-rot fungi, Peniophora lycii LE-BIN 2142 from the Russulales order and Trametes hirsuta LE-BIN 072 from the Polyporales order, were compared and contrasted in terms of their enzymatic machinery used for degradation of different types of wood substrates—alder, birch and pine sawdust. Our findings suggested that the studied fungi use extremely different enzymatic systems for the degradation of carbohydrates and lignin. While T. hirsuta LE-BIN 072 behaved as a typical white-rot fungus, P. lycii LE-BIN 2142 demonstrated substantial peculiarities. Instead of using cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic hydrolytic enzymes, P. lycii LE-BIN 2142 primarily relies on oxidative polysaccharide-degrading enzymes such as LPMO and GMC oxidoreductase. Moreover, exoproteomes of P. lycii LE-BIN 2142 completely lacked ligninolytic peroxidases, a well-known marker of white-rot fungi, but instead contained several laccase isozymes and previously uncharacterized FAD-binding domain-containing proteins.

Abstract
Marine plastic debris serve as substrates for the colonization of a variety of prokaryote and eukaryote organisms. Of particular interest are the microorganisms that have adapted to thrive on plastic as they may contain genes, enzymes or pathways involved in the adhesion or metabolism of plastics. We implemented DNA metabarcoding with nanopore MinION sequencing to compare the 1-month-old biomes of hydrolyzable (polyethylene terephthalate) and non-hydrolyzable (polyethylene) plastics surfaces vs. those of glass and the surrounding water in a Mediterranean Sea marina. We sequenced longer 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and ITS barcode loci for a more comprehensive taxonomic profiling of the bacterial, protist, and fungal communities, respectively. Long read sequencing enabled high-resolution mapping to genera and species. Using previously established methods we performed differential abundance screening and identified 30 bacteria and five eukaryotic species, that were differentially abundant on plastic compared to glass. This approach will allow future studies to characterize the plastisphere communities and to screen for microorganisms with a plastic-metabolism potential.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis is one of the main pillars of sustainability for industrial production. Enzyme application allows minimization of the use of toxic solvents and to valorize the agro-industrial residues through reuse. In addition, they are safe and energy efficient. Nonetheless, their use in biotechnological processes is still hindered by the cost, stability, and low rate of recycling and reuse. Among the many industrial enzymes, fungal laccases (LCs) are perfect candidates to serve as a biotechnological tool as they are outstanding, versatile catalytic oxidants, only requiring molecular oxygen to function. LCs are able to degrade phenolic components of lignin, allowing them to efficiently reuse the lignocellulosic biomass for the production of enzymes, bioactive compounds, or clean energy, while minimizing the use of chemicals. Therefore, this review aims to give an overview of fungal LC, a promising green and sustainable enzyme, its mechanism of action, advantages, disadvantages, and solutions for its use as a tool to reduce the environmental and economic impact of industrial processes with a particular insight on the reuse of agro-wastes.

Abstract
Peniophora lycii is a resupinate lichen-like species distributed all over the world. In the present study, we sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Peniophora lycii. The size of the mitochondrial genome of P. lycii was 38,296 bp, with a GC content of 25.89%. Twenty protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 24 transfer RNA genes were identified in the mitochondrial genome of P. lycii. Phylogenetic analysis based on combined mitochondrial gene dataset indicated that the mitochondrial genome of P. lycii exhibited a close relationship with that of Heterobasidion irregulare.
