“…Identification of bacteria and fungi was performed by sequencing 16S rDNA or internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, respectively. Genomic DNA was isolated as described previously [20] with some modifications (Materials and methods 1.2 in S1 File). Bacterial 16S rDNA V3/V4 region was amplified using primers 341F (5'-CCTACGGGAGGCAGCAG-3') [21] and R806 (5'-GGACTACHVGGGTWTCTAA-3') [22].…”

In this study, we investigated biodeterioration of materials used in tempera painting by analyzing the structure of the microbiome in ancient tempera paintings exhibited in State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia. Samples were obtained from 16 th-century paintings, including a grand Russian Orthodox icon "The Church Militant" (all exhibits were without visible signs of biodeterioration), and from surrounding walls and ceilings (with vast zones of visible microbial growth). A number of microorganisms isolated from visible signs of environmental bio-damage were also detected in tempera paintings kept in temperature-and humidity-controlled conditions unfavorable for the growth of microflora. To determine the biodegrading potential of the microbiome for tempera paintings, we developed a set of mock layers from paintwork materials used in tempera painting of 16 th century and their modern analogues and inoculated them with cultures containing filamentous fungi and bacteria. The susceptibility to microbial degradation of individual tempera painting materials was examined by micro-Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, which enabled detection of even invisible signs of biodeterioration. The results indicate that the microorganisms isolated from paintings and surrounding areas in the museum are capable of causing significant damage of various tempera materials, among which varnishes were the most resistant; however, the addition of antiseptic (sodium pentachlorophenolate) can inhibit microbial growth on sturgeon glue.

“…An increase in the production of the target SM by 100-to 1000-fold and the elimination of spin-off products under the fermentation conditions in the improved fungal strains ( Figure 2B) are associated with two main molecular events, the upregulation of genes from target BGC and the knockout of genes from alternative BGC [27,33,41,42]. Since the expression of BGC genes is controlled by the pathway-specific regulation [27,43,44], global regulation [45,46], and global regulation of SM [47][48][49][50], the SCI programs are accompanied by changes in such controls.…”

“…The conversion from DAC to CPC is catalyzed by deacetylcephalosporin-C acetyltransferase enzyme (CefG; EC 2.3.1.175) by, occurs in the cytoplasm [59] and is utilizes one molecule of cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA per reaction. In HY strains the CPC production increased 200-to 300-fold and the expression from BGC for CPC (cef genes) upregulated 20-to 300-fold [41]. In this case the acetyl-CoA content may be depleted in some HY strains [57,58].…”

A filamentous fungus (also called molds or moldy fungus) is a taxonomically diverse organism from phylum Zygomycota and Ascomycota with filamentous hyphae and has the ability to produce airborne spores or conidia. Currently, more than 70,000 molds are known, and some of them contain unique and unusual biochemical pathways. A number of products from such pathways, especially, the secondary metabolite (SM) pathways are used as important pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics, statins, and immunodepresants. Under different conditions, the individual species can produce more than 100 SM. The strain improvement programs lead to high yielding in target SM and significant reduction of spin-off products. The main tool for the strain improvement of filamentous fungi is random mutagenesis and screening. The majority of industrial overproducing SM strains were developed with the help of such technique over the past 50–70 years; the yield of the target SM increased by 100- to 1000-fold or more. Moreover, most of the strains have reached their technological limit of improvement. A new round of mutagenesis has not increased overproduction. Recently, it was shown that that the addition of exogenous polyamines may increase the production of such improved strains of filamentous fungi. The possible molecular mechanism of this phenomenon and its biotechnological applications are discussed.

“…The strains were cultivated on CD medium for 48 h at 26 • C and inoculated into ten volumes of CD medium. The fermentation was carried out for 120 h at 26 • C in 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks on a CERTOMAT BS-1 shaker (Sartorius, Germany) at 230 rpm, as described earlier [42]. After 24 h of culture, 1 mL aliquots were removed, fungi were separated by centrifugation (15 min, 14,000 g) and washed with H 2 O (3 × 2 mL).…”

Hydroxylamine Analogue of Agmatine: Magic Bullet for Arginine Decarboxylase

et al. 2020

The biogenic polyamines, spermine, spermidine (Spd) and putrescine (Put) are present at micro-millimolar concentrations in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells (many prokaryotes have no spermine), participating in the regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation. In mammalian cells Put is formed exclusively from L-ornithine by ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and many potent ODC inhibitors are known. In bacteria, plants, and fungi Put is synthesized also from agmatine, which is formed from L-arginine by arginine decarboxylase (ADC). Here we demonstrate that the isosteric hydroxylamine analogue of agmatine (AO-Agm) is a new and very potent (IC50 3•10−8 M) inhibitor of E. coli ADC. It was almost two orders of magnitude less potent towards E. coli ODC. AO-Agm decreased polyamine pools and inhibited the growth of DU145 prostate cancer cells only at high concentration (1 mM). Growth inhibitory analysis of the Acremonium chrysogenum demonstrated that the wild type (WT) strain synthesized Put only from L-ornithine, while the cephalosporin C high-yielding strain, in which the polyamine pool is increased, could use both ODC and ADC to produce Put. Thus, AO-Agm is an important addition to the set of existing inhibitors of the enzymes of polyamine biosynthesis, and an important instrument for investigating polyamine biochemistry.
