چکیده
Two subcultures of Absidia blakesleeana IOC No. 2425 (-) mating type strain preserved in 1959 and 1981 on a thick layer of potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium under sterile mineral oil and maintained at room temperature in the Fungal Cultural Collection of Institute Oswaldo Cruz--IOC--were paired with the defined Absidia blakesleeana URM-UFP No. 2076 (+) mating type strain. Portions of the line where mycelia of the two strains met were observed under light microscopy. Zygospores belonging to Subgenus Mycocladus were observed. The results demonstrated conservation and re-establishment of the physiological and genetic metabolic processes of two subcultures preserved under mineral oil.

Various species of Absidia, Aspergillus, Cunninghamella, Trichothecium, Penicillium, and Phanerochaete were found to transform rotenone to one or more metabolites. Two biotransformation products were isolated from a preparative-scale incubation of rotenone with Cunninghamella blakesleeana and identified as 1',2'-dihydro-1',2'-dihydroxyrotenone and 3'-hydroxyrotenone (amorphigenin). The catalyti...
