Pigments and citrinin biosynthesis by fungi belonging to genus Monascus.
Citrinin is a mycotoxin, which is produced by fungi belonging to the genus Monascus, known in biotechnology as producers of azaphilone pigments. The relation between biosynthesis of these secondary metabolites was investigated in different species of the genus Monascus in batch-culture at the following cultivation conditions: T = 28 degrees C, agitation 220 rpm, and a medium, which induce citri...
متن کاملCarotene biosynthesis in fungi.
Studies on Neurospora crassa and mutants of Phycomyces blakesleeanus have led to a reappraisal of a number of important aspects of carotene biosynthesis. Results obtained from structural investigations, from inhibitor studies and from the use of labelled substrates with carotenogenic extracts of fungal mutants are discussed in the contexts of the stereochemistry, isomerization and dehydrogenati...
متن کاملMultidrug resistance in fungi.
One of the major advances serving to define the beginning of the era of modern medicine was the development of penicillin in the early 1940s as the first widely used antibiotic effective against microorganisms (reviewed in reference 111). In what has become an all-too-common trend, antibiotic-resistant isolates emerged soon after the large-scale use of penicillin to treat bacterial infections (...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of carotenoids by fungi.
The occurrence of carotenoids in species of Penicillia has never been observed with the only one exception. Luteraan and Choay (1) mentioned an unspeci fied Penicillium as a carotene producer but full details of this investigation are not yet available. The author conducted a survey of carotenogenic activity of a number of fungus strains, and found Penicillium sclerotiorum to produce a consider...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of terpenoid natural products in fungi.
Tens of thousands of terpenoid natural products have been isolated from plants and microbial sources. Higher fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) are known to produce an array of well-known terpenoid natural products, including mycotoxins, antibiotics, antitumor compounds, and phytohormones. Except for a few well-studied fungal biosynthetic pathways, the majority of genes and biosynthetic pathw...
