Bio-oxidation of progesterone by Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1185 and evaluation of the cytotoxic activity. Steroids 2024; 205:109392. [PMID: 38452910 DOI: 10.1016/j.steroids.2024.109392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
We report the biotransformation of progesterone 1 by whole cells of Brazilian marine-derived fungi. A preliminary screening with 12 fungi revealed that the strains Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1996, Mucor racemous CBMAI 847, Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237, Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1185 and Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935 were efficient in the biotransformation of progesterone 1 in the first days of the reaction, with conversion values ranging from 75 % to 99 %. The fungus P. oxalicum CBMAI 1185 was employed in the reactions in quintuplicate to purify and characterize the main biotransformation products of progesterone 1. The compounds testololactone 1a, 12β-hydroxyandrostenedione 1b and 1β-hydroxyandrostenedione 1c were isolated and characterized by NMR, MS, [α]D and MP. In addition, the chromatographic yield of compound 1a was determined by HPLC-PDA in the screening experiments. In this study, we show a biotransformation pathway of progesterone 1, suggesting the presence of several enzymes such as Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, dehydrogenases and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in the fungus P. oxalicum CBMAI 1185. In summary, the results obtained in this study contribute to the synthetic area and have environmental importance, since the marine-derived fungi can be employed in the biodegradation of steroids present in wastewater and the environment. The cytotoxic results demonstrate that the biodegradation products were inactive against the cell lines, in contrast to progesterone.

An overview of neonicotinoids: biotransformation and biodegradation by microbiological processes. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:37082-37109.

Abstract
Neonicotinoids are a class of pesticides widely used in different phases of agricultural crops. Similar to other classes of pesticides, they can damage human and environmental health if overused, and can be resistent to degradation. This is especially relevant to insect health, pollination, and aquatic biodiversity. Nevertheless, application of pesticides is still crucial for food production and pest control, and should therefore be carefully monitored by the government to control or reduce neonicotinoid contamination reaching human and animal feed. Aware of this problem, studies have been carried out to reduce or eliminate neonicotinoid contamination from the environment. One example of a green protocol is bioremediation. This review discusses the most recent microbial biodegradation and bioremediation processes for neonicotinoids, which employ isolated microorganisms (bacteria and fungi), consortiums of microorganisms, and different types of soils, biobeds, and biomixtures.

Abstract
In this study, we report our contribution to the application of whole cells of Brazilian marine-derived fungi in the biotransformation of ethinylestradiol 1. A preliminary screening with twelve marine-derived fungi strains revealed that the fungus Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1996 promoted the biotransformation of ethinylestradiol 1. Then, P. oxalicum CBMAI 1996 was employed in the reactions in decaplicate in order to purify and characterize the main biotransformation products of ethinylestradiol 1. Compounds 1b and 1c were characterized by NMR, HRMS, [α]D and mp. Compound 1b was also characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, kinetic monitoring of the biotransformation of ethinylestradiol 1 by P. oxalicum CBMAI 1996 was evaluated in this study in order to obtain high yields of compounds 1b and 1c with a reduction of the reaction time. In this work, we proposed a biotransformation pathway of ethinylestradiol 1, which suggests the presence of several enzymes such as phenol oxidases, monooxygenases, and ene-reductases in the fungus P. oxalicum CBMAI 1996. In summary, the rapid biodegradation of ethinylestradiol 1 and compounds 1b and 1c also has an environmental relevance, since ethinylestradiol 1 and other steroidal compounds are improperly discarded in the environment, and part of these compounds are displaced into the oceans.

Biotransformation of (E)-2-Methyl-3-Phenylacrylaldehyde Using Mycelia of Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186, Both Free and Immobilized on Chitosan. MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2020; 22:348-356. [PMID: 32080775 DOI: 10.1007/s10126-020-09954-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2019] [Accepted: 02/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This study applied the use of marine-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186 in the stereoselective reduction of the C=C double bond of the prochiral (E)-2-methyl-3-phenylacrylaldehyde 1. The fungus immobilized on chitosan, obtained by multistep ultrasound-assisted deacetylation process (Ch-USAD), produced the (S)-(+)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol 3 (c = 49%, 40% ee) isomer and (±)-2-methyl-3-phenylacrilic acid 4 (c = 35%); in contrast, immobilized mycelia on commercial chitosan (Ch-C) yielded the (S)-(+)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol 3 (c = 48%, 10% ee) and (±)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropanal 1a (c = 41%). The reaction using free mycelia gave a 40% yield of (S)-(+)-2-methyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol 3 with 10% ee. These results showed that the crystallinity form and molecular weight of chitosan (Ch-C or Ch-USAD) used to immobilized mycelia of P. citrinum CBMAI 1186 influenced in the biotransformation of (E)-2-methyl-3-phenylacrylaldehyde 1. Therefore, marine-derived fungus P. citrinum CBMAI 1186 immobilized on chitosan can be a potential alternative in the studies of hydrogenation of the α,β-unsaturated carbon-carbon (α,β-C=C) double bond. Marine-derived fungus Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186 immobilized on chitosan in the stereoselective reduction of the C=C double bond of the prochiral (E)-2-methyl-3-phenylacrylaldehyde.

Miniemulsion in biocatalysis, a new approach employing a solid reagent and an easy protocol for product isolation applied to the aldol reaction by Rhizopus niveus lipase. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 297:122441.

Abstract
Miniemulsion systems presented a great potential for biocatalytic reactions. However, different limitations jeopardized the applications of this non-conventional medium. In this work, miniemulsion systems (emulsion reactors) were applied for the first time to the aldol reaction between cyclohexanone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde by Rhizopus niveus lipase allowing a decrease in the catalyst concentration from 20 mg mL-1 to 6 mg mL-1 in comparison with organic solvents. Moreover, the yield increased from ~25% to ~65% for 48 h reactions and the enantiomeric excess increased from ~10% to ~30% for (R,S)-anti-aldol product, showing the potentiality of this non-conventional reaction medium. The advances reported in this work expands the possibilities of the miniemulsion reaction medium to a whole new level, increasing the scope to solid reagents and products, and also different reactions (biocatalytic or not) that requires pH control by buffers with a simple product isolation procedure, enabling future applications of this poorly studied reaction medium.

Abstract
Biodiversity has been explored in the search for novel enzymes, including forests, savannas, tundras, deserts, and finally the sea. Marine microorganisms and their enzymes are capable of being active in high-salt concentration, large range of temperature, and high incidence of light and pressure, constituting an important source of unique biocatalysts. This review presents studies employing whole-cell processes of marine bacteria and fungi, aiming for new catalysts for different reactions in organic synthesis, such as reduction, oxidation, hydroxylation, hydrolysis, elimination, and conjugation. Genomics and protein engineering studies were also approached, and reactions employing isolated enzymes from different classes (oxidoreductases, hydrolases, lyases, and ligases) were described and summarized. Future biotechnological studies and process development should focus on molecular biology for the obtention of enzymes with interesting, fascinating and enhanced properties, starting from the exploration of microorganisms from the marine environment. This review approaches the literature about the use of marine-derived bacteria, fungi, and their enzymes for biocatalytic reactions of organic compounds, promoting a discussion about the possibilities of these microorganisms in the synthesis of different substances.

Abstract
This work reports the green organic chemistry synthesis of E-2-cyano-3(furan-2-yl) acrylamide under microwave radiation (55 W), as well as the use of filamentous marine and terrestrial-derived fungi, in the first ene-reduction of 2-cyano-3-(furan-2-yl) acrylamide to (R)-2-cyano-3-(furan-2-yl)propanamide. The fungal strains screened included Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186, Trichoderma sp. CBMAI 932 and Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935, and the filamentous terrestrial fungi Aspergillus sp. FPZSP 146 and Aspergillus sp. FPZSP 152. A compound with an uncommon CN-bearing stereogenic center at the α-C position was obtained by enantioselective reactions mediated in the presence of the microorganisms yielding the (R)-2-cyano-3-(furan-2-yl) propanamide 3a. Its isolated yield and e.e. ranged from 86% to 98% and 39% to 99%, respectively. The absolute configuration of the biotransformation products was determined by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Finally, the tautomerization of 2-cyano-3-(furan-2-yl) propanamide 3a to form an achiral ketenimine was observed and investigated in presence of protic solvents.

The pyrethroid (±)-lambda-cyhalothrin enantioselective biodegradation by a bacterial consortium. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2019; 156:129-137.

Abstract
Chiral pesticides have been used in agriculture, including (±)-lambda-cyhalothrin ((±)-LC), which is a pyrethroid insecticide widely employed on crops for protection against different types of insects. However, enantioselectivity is poorly studied in biodegradation processes. Therefore, the (±)-LC enantioselective biodegradation by bacteria from Brazilian savannah was reported in this study with a validated analytical method. All bacterial strains biodegraded (±)-LC with different efficiencies. Residual concentrations of LC (3.7-43.1% of biodegradation) and its enantiomeric excesses (0-27% ee) were determined. Additionally, the formation of the main biodegradation metabolite 3-phenoxybenzoic acid was also quantified. A Bacillus consortium composed of the three most efficient strains biodegraded more LC than any isolated strain solely employed in this work, showing that the use of a consortium is an interesting approach. In addition, 13 metabolites were identified and a biodegradation pathway with biochemical reactions of hydrolysis, reduction, esterification, amidation, elimination and group transfer were proposed, confirming the bioremediation potential of these strains. The LC stereoisomer with the highest insecticidal activity (1R,3R,αS-enantiomer, also known as gamma-cyhalothrin) was preferentially biodegraded by the studied bacteria. Therefore, crops protection with gamma-cyhalothrin, which can be applied in lower concentrations than (±)-LC because it is a more effective product against insects, may also be biodegraded faster than the racemic mixture in the environment, decreasing the toxic effects on non-target organisms.

Abstract
The biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by marine-derived fungi was reported in this work. Marine-derived fungi (Trichoderma harzianum CBMAI 1677, Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237, Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935, Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186 and Mucor racemosus CBMAI 847) biodegraded anthracene (14days, 130rpm, 50mgmL-1 initial concentration in malt 2% medium). Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237 was the most efficient strain and biodegraded more anthracene in the presence (42% biodegradation) than in the absence (26%) of artificial seawater, suggesting that the biodegradation of PAHs may be faster in seawater than in non-saline environment. After 21days, Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237 biodegraded anthracene (71% biodegradation), anthrone (100%), anthraquinone (32%), acenaphthene (78%), fluorene (70%), phenanthrene (47%), fluoranthene (52%), pyrene (62%) and nitropyrene (64%). Previous undocumented metabolites were identified and, anthraquinone was a common product of different PAHs biodegradation. The marine-derived fungus Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237 showed potential for bioremediation of PAHs.

Abstract
The contamination of agricultural lands by pesticides is a serious environmental issue. Consequently, the development of bioremediation methods for different active ingredients, such as pyrethroids, is essential. In this study, the enantioselective biodegradation of (±)-lambda-cyhalothrin ((±)-LC) by marine-derived fungi was studied. Experiments were performed with different fungi strains (Aspergillus sp. CBMAI 1829, Acremonium sp. CBMAI 1676, Microsphaeropsis sp. CBMAI 1675 and Westerdykella sp. CBMAI 1679) in 3% malt liquid medium with 100 mg L-1 of (±)-LC. All strains biodegraded this insecticide and the residual concentrations of (±)-LC (79.2-55.2 mg L-1, i.e., 20.8-44.8% biodegradation), their enantiomeric excesses (2-42% ee) and the 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (PBAc) concentrations (0.0-4.1 mg L-1) were determined. In experiments for 28 days of biodegradation in the absence and presence of artificial seawater (ASW) with the most efficient strain Aspergillus sp. CBMAI 1829, increasing concentrations of PBAc with (0.0-4.8 mg L-1) and without ASW (0.0-15.3 mg L-1) were observed. In addition, a partial biodegradation pathway was proposed. All the evaluated strains biodegraded preferentially the (1R,3R,αS)-gamma-cyhalothrin enantiomer. Therefore, marine-derived fungi enantioselectively biodegraded (±)-LC and can be applied in future studies for bioremediation of contaminated areas. This enantioselective biodegradation indicates that the employment of the most active enantiomer GC as insecticide not only enable the use of a lower amount of pesticide, but also a more easily biodegradable product, reducing the possibility of environmental contamination.

Abstract
Esfenvalerate biodegradation by marine-derived fungi is reported here. Esfenvalerate (S,S-fenvalerate) and its main metabolites [3-phenoxybenzaldehyde (PBAld), 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (PBAc), 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol (PBAlc), and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylbutyric acid (CLAc)] were quantitatively analyzed by a validated method in triplicate experiments. All the strains (Penicillium raistrickii CBMAI 931, Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 935, Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1237, Microsphaeropsis sp. CBMAI 1675, Acremonium sp. CBMAI 1676, Westerdykella sp. CBMAI 1679, and Cladosporium sp. CBMAI 1678) were able to degrade esfenvalerate, however, with different efficiencies. Initially, 100 mg L(-1) esfenvalerate (Sumidan 150SC) was added to each culture in 3 % malt liquid medium. Residual esfenvalerate (64.8-95.2 mg L(-1)) and the concentrations of PBAc (0.5-7.4 mg L(-1)), ClAc (0.1-7.5 mg L(-1)), and PBAlc (0.2 mg L(-1)) were determined after 14 days. In experiments after 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of biodegradation with the three most efficient strains, increasing concentrations of the toxic compounds PBAc (2.7-16.6 mg L(-1), after 28 days) and CLAc (6.6-13.4 mg L(-1), after 28 days) were observed. A biodegradation pathway was proposed, based on HPLC-ToF results. The biodegradation pathway includes PBAld, PBAc, PBAlc, ClAc, 2-hydroxy-2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)acetonitrile, 3-(hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid, and methyl 3-phenoxy benzoate. Marine-derived fungi were able to biodegrade esfenvalerate in a commercial formulation and showed their potential for future bioremediation studies in contaminated soils and water bodies.

Abstract
In the last decade, new trends in the food and pharmaceutical industries have increased concern for the quality and safety of products. The use of biocatalytic processes using marine enzymes has become an important and useful natural product for biotechnological applications. Bioprocesses using biocatalysts like marine enzymes (fungi, bacteria, plants, animals, algae, etc.) offer hyperthermostability, salt tolerance, barophilicity, cold adaptability, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity. Currently, enzymatic methods are used to produce a large variety of products that humans consume, and the specific nature of the enzymes including processing under mild pH and temperature conditions result in fewer unwanted side-effects and by-products. This offers high selectivity in industrial processes. The marine habitat has been become increasingly studied because it represents a huge source potential biocatalysts. Enzymes include oxidoreductases, hydrolases, transferases, isomerases, ligases, and lyases that can be used in food and pharmaceutical applications. Finally, recent advances in biotechnological processes using enzymes of marine organisms (bacterial, fungi, algal, and sponges) are described and also our work on marine organisms from South America, especially marine-derived fungi and bacteria involved in biotransformations and biodegradation of organic compounds.

Seven strains of marine-derived fungi (Aspergillus sclerotiorum CBMAI 849, Cladosporium cladosporioides CBMAI 857, Penicillium raistrickii CBMAI 931, Penicillium citrinum CBMA 1186, Mucor racemosus CBMAI 847, Beauveria felina CBMAI 738, and Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1185) and terrestrial fungus Penicillium chrysogenum CBMA1199 were screened as catalysts for the asymmetric reduction of α-keto azides 5-8 to their corresponding β-azidophenylethanols 9-12. The marine fungi showed Prelog and anti-Prelog selectivities to the reduction α-keto azides 5-8. The fungi A. sclerotiorum CBMAI 849, C. cladosporioides CBMAI 857, P. raistrickii CBMAI 931, and P. citrinum CBMA 1186 catalyzed the reduction of azido ketone 6 to the corresponding (R)-2-azido-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol (10) with good conversions (68-100 %) and excellent enantiomeric excesses (>99 % ee) according to Prelog rule.

Abstract
A screening was performed using nine marine-derived fungi as biocatalysts and the natural products (-)-ambrox® (1), (-)-sclareol (2), and (+)-sclareolide (3) in order to select the microorganisms able to catalyze the biooxidation of these compounds. It was observed that only the Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 934, Botryosphaeria sp., Eutypella sp., and Xylaria sp. presented active oxidoreductases and catalyzed the regioselective hydroxylation in the natural products. The hydroxylated metabolites obtained were 1β-hydroxy-ambrox (1a) (14%, A. sydowii CBMAI 934); 3β-hydroxy-ambrox (1b) (17%, Botryosphaeria sp.; 11%, Eutypella sp.); 3β-hydroxy-sclareol (2a) (31%, Xylaria sp.; 69%, Botryosphaeria sp.; 55%, Eutypella sp.); 18-hydroxy-sclareol (2b) (10%, Xylaria sp.); and 3β-hydroxy-sclareolide (3a) (34%, Botryosphaeria sp.; 7%, Eutypella sp.). This is the first report of biohydroxylation of (-)-ambrox® (1), (-)-sclareol (2), and (+)-sclareolide (3) by whole mycelia of marine-derived fungi.

Abstract
Seven marine fungi strains (Aspergillus sydowii CBMAI 934, A. sydowii CBMAI 935, A. sydowii CBMAI 1241, Penicillium decaturense CBMAI 1234, Penicillium raistrickii CBMAI 931, P. raistrickii CBMAI 1235, and Trichoderma sp. CBMAI 932) were screened by their growth in the presence of methyl parathion (MP) in a solid culture medium. The strains with best growth were A. sydowii CBMAI 935 and P. decaturense CBMAI 1234. Biodegradation reactions were performed in 10, 20 and 30d in a malt extract liquid medium containing commercial MP and whole cells of A. sydowii CBMAI 935 and P. decaturense CBMAI 1234. In 20d, A. sydowii CBMAI 935 was able to degrade all pesticide, whereas P. decaturense CBMAI 1234 promoted a complete degradation in 30d. A. sydowii CBMAI 935 and P. decaturense CBMAI 1234 could degrade the product of the MP enzymatic hydrolysis, p-nitrophenol, on average of 51 and 40% respectively. Both strains used MP as a sole source of carbon and provided satisfactory results. Metabolites detected in the medium showed that the presumable reaction pathway occurred through the activation of MP to its more toxic form, methyl paraoxon, which was further degraded to p-nitrophenol.

Abstract
Nine marine fungi (Aspergillus sclerotiorum CBMAI 849, Aspergillus sydowii Ce19, Beauveria felina CBMAI 738, Mucor racemosus CBMAI 847, Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186, Penicillium miczynskii Ce16, P. miczynskii Gc5, Penicillium oxalicum CBMAI 1185, and Trichoderma sp. Gc1) catalyzed the asymmetric bioconversion of iodoacetophenones 1-3 to corresponding iodophenylethanols 6-8. All the marine fungi produced exclusively (S)-ortho-iodophenylethanol 6 and (S)-meta-iodophenylethanol 7 in accordance to the Prelog rule. B. felina CBMAI 738, P. miczynskii Gc5, P. oxalicum CBMAI 1185, and Trichoderma sp. Gc1 produced (R)-para-iodophenylethanol 8 as product anti-Prelog. The bioconversion of para-iodoacetophenone 3 with whole cells of P. oxalicum CBMAI 1185 showed competitive reduction-oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Nine strains of marine-derived fungi (Aspergillus sydowii Ce15, A. sydowii Ce19, Aspergillus sclerotiorum CBMAI 849, Bionectria sp. Ce5, Beauveria felina CBMAI 738, Cladosporium cladosporioides CBMAI 857, Mucor racemosus CBMAI 847, Penicillium citrinum CBMAI 1186, and Penicillium miczynskii Gc5) were screened, catalyzing the asymmetric bioreduction of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone 1 to its corresponding 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol 2. A. sydowii Ce15 and Bionectria sp. Ce5 produced the enantiopure (R)-alcohol 2 (>99% ee) in accordance with the anti-Prelog rule and, the fungi B. felina CBMAI 738 (>99% ee) and P. citrinum CBMAI 1186 (69% ee) in accordance with the Prelog rule. Stereoselective bioreduction by whole cells of marine-derived fungi described by us is important for the production of new reductases from marine-derived fungi.
