“…Iron has been shown to down-regulate riboflavin (Rbfl) synthesis in flavinogenic yeast strains and some bacteria [7,8]. In plants, Rbfl and derivatives are accumulated and/or excreted in Fe-deficient roots and could act as a redox bridge for electron transport to the Fe(III) reductase [9].…”

BackgroundPlants grown under iron deficiency show different morphological, biochemical and physiological changes. These changes include, among others, the elicitation of different strategies to improve the acquisition of Fe from the rhizosphere, the adjustment of Fe homeostasis processes and a reorganization of carbohydrate metabolism. The application of modern techniques that allow the simultaneous and untargeted analysis of multiple proteins and metabolites can provide insight into multiple processes taking place in plants under Fe deficiency. The objective of this study was to characterize the changes induced in the root tip proteome and metabolome of sugar beet plants in response to Fe deficiency and resupply.ResultsRoot tip extract proteome maps were obtained by 2-D isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and approximately 140 spots were detected. Iron deficiency resulted in changes in the relative amounts of 61 polypeptides, and 22 of them were identified by mass spectrometry (MS). Metabolites in root tip extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography-MS, and more than 300 metabolites were resolved. Out of 77 identified metabolites, 26 changed significantly with Fe deficiency. Iron deficiency induced increases in the relative amounts of proteins and metabolites associated to glycolysis, tri-carboxylic acid cycle and anaerobic respiration, confirming previous studies. Furthermore, a protein not present in Fe-sufficient roots, dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine (DMRL) synthase, was present in high amounts in root tips from Fe-deficient sugar beet plants and gene transcript levels were higher in Fe-deficient root tips. Also, a marked increase in the relative amounts of the raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs) was observed in Fe-deficient plants, and a further increase in these compounds occurred upon short term Fe resupply.ConclusionsThe increases in DMRL synthase and in RFO sugars were the major changes induced by Fe deficiency and resupply in root tips of sugar beet plants. Flavin synthesis could be involved in Fe uptake, whereas RFO sugars could be involved in the alleviation of oxidative stress, C trafficking or cell signalling. Our data also confirm the increase in proteins and metabolites related to carbohydrate metabolism and TCA cycle pathways.

New yeasts in the Pichia guilliermondii clade were isolated from the digestive tract of basidiocarp-feeding members of seven families of Coleoptera. A molecular phylogeny and unique traits placed eight isolates in Candida fermentati and three undescribed taxa in the genus Candida. The new species and type strains are C. smithsonii (type strain NRRL Y-27642T), C. athensensis (type strain NRRL Y-27644T), and C. elateridarum (type strain NRRL Y-27647T). Based on comparison of small-and large-subunit rDNA sequences, C. smithsonii and C. athensensis form a statistically well-supported subclade with P. guilliermondii, C. xestobii, and C. fermentati; C. elateridarum is basal to this subclade.

SummaryHyoscyamus albus hairy roots with/without an exogenous gene (11 clones) were established by inoculation of Agrobacterium rhizogenes. All clones cultured under iron deficient condition secreted riboflavin from root tips into the culture medium and the productivity depended on the number and size of root tips among the clones, although the addition of sucrose was essential for riboflavin production. A decline of pH was observed before riboflavin production and root development using either a root tip or propagated roots: propagated roots were employed for further work due to their lesser variation.Additions of proton-pump inhibitors, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) at 100 and 10 μM and erythrosine B at 100 μM, suppressed the pH decline at 100 and 10 μM accompanied by inhibition of riboflavin secretion and root growth; at 10 μM of erythrosine B, pH decline occurred with a moderate delay, but both growth and riboflavin efflux were inhibited. Neither inhibition of the pH decline nor riboflavin production was observed at 1 μM. To examine the necessity of acidification and riboflavin secretion by the roots themselves, artificial pH reduction of culture medium with organic acids and the addition of exogenous riboflavin with/without pH reduction were performed. When hairy roots were cultured in iron-deficient medium acidified with citric acid (pH 4.0) or malic acid (pH 3.7), pH increased rapidly to around 5 overnight, following which riboflavin production and root growth occurred. Addition of riboflavin did not affect riboflavin secretion by the roots, but acidification with citric acid (pH 4.0) helped achiever greater riboflavin production and earlier pH elevation. These results indicate that riboflavin efflux does not directly connected to active pH reduction, and more significantly active riboflavin secretion occurs by internal requirement in H. albus hairy roots under iron deficiency.
