Reactivation of antibiosis in the entomogenous fungus Chrysoporthe sp. SNB-CN74

Abstract: Chrysoporthe sp. SNB-CN74 was isolated from a Nasutitermes corniger nest, and its ethyl acetate extract was found to exhibit very strong antibacterial activity. Two antibacterial metabolites were isolated, (-)-R-skyrin (2) and (+)-rugulosin A (3). Eventually, the fungus lost its antibiotic potential when subcultured, and the use of yeast extract induced the re-expression of these two antibiotics. Yeast extract possibly activated a cryptic pathway by mimicking the presence of an ecological competitor.

“…Insect–microorganism interactions have been widely studied within apocrites (bees, wasps, ants), but few studies are related to termite–microorganism interactions outside the trophobiosis [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. However, examples of antimicrobial compounds produced by microorganisms associated with termites from French Guiana were previously published in the literature, especially by the research group of D. Stien and V. Eparvier [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

“…[20][21][22] Small changes in culture conditions or cocultivation with other microbial species may activate cryptic biosynthetic pathways. [23][24][25] Therefore, to analyze substantial subsequent production of the metabolites identified, the fungal strain was cultivated on seven different culture media.…”

“…Chrysoporthe sp. exhibited strong antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus (Nirma et al, 2015); and Fusarium species produced metabolites with activities against microbial pathogens (Sibero et al, 2019). Besides, from F. larvarum, an antifungal compound active against C. albicans and a wide range of pathogenic fungi was isolated, called Parafungin (Harvey et al, 2015).…”
