Characterization of a novel NADP(+)-dependent D-Arabitol dehydrogenase from the plant pathogen Uromyces fabae.
The Biochemical journal, 2005Co-Authors: Tobias Link, Gertrud Lohaus, Ingrid Heiser, Kurt Mendgen, Matthias Hahn, Ralf T. VoegeleAbstract:We have identified and characterized a novel NADP(+)-dependent D-Arabitol dehydrogenase and the corresponding gene from the rust fungus Uromyces fabae, a biotrophic plant pathogen on broad bean (Vicia faba). The new enzyme was termed ARD1p (D-Arabitol dehydrogenase 1). It recognizes D-Arabitol and mannitol as substrates in the forward reaction, and D-xylulose, D-ribulose and D-fructose as substrates in the reverse reaction. Co-factor specificity was restricted to NADP(H). Kinetic data for the major substrates and co-factors are presented. A detailed analysis of the organization and expression pattern of the ARD1 gene are also given. Immunocytological data indicate a localization of the gene product predominantly in haustoria, the feeding structures of these fungi. Analyses of metabolite levels during pathogenesis indicate that the D-Arabitol concentration rises dramatically as infection progresses, and D-Arabitol was shown in an in vitro system to be capable of quenching reactive oxygen species involved in host plant defence reactions. ARD1p may therefore play an important role in carbohydrate metabolism and in establishing and/or maintaining the biotrophic interaction in U. fabae.

Optimization of fermentation medium for a newly isolated yeast strain (Zygosaccharomyces rouxii JM-C46) and evaluation of factors affecting biosynthesis of D-Arabitol
LWT, 2019Co-Authors: Qi Guo, Xu Wang, Huanhuan Zhang, Hossain M. Zabed, Junhua Yun, Guoyan Zhang, Miaomiao Yang, Wenjing SunAbstract:Abstract A newly isolated yeast strain, namely Zygosaccharomyces rouxii JM-C46, was reported to be promising for enhanced D-Arabitol production from glucose. In this study, further efforts were made to optimize fermentation conditions for this strain through one-factor-at-a-time strategy considering seven important factors of shake flask fermentation. Subsequently, composition of fermentation medium was optimized using Box-Behnken design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM) including three major nitrogen providing ingredients, namely yeast extract, (NH4)2SO4 and peptone. Maximum D-Arabitol concentration produced in one-factor-at-a-time experiments was found to be 72.69 g/L under the optimum conditions consisting of 200 g/L initial glucose, 100 ml medium, 5% (equivalent to 8.78 g/L) initial inoculum, temperature 30 °C, pH 5.0, fermentation time 96 h, and agitation rate 200 rpm. In the experiments of BBD, the predicted yield of D-Arabitol varied between 67.73 g/L and 76.76 g/L, while the actual concentration of D-Arabitol ranged from 68.02 g/L to 76.95 g/L. The optimum composition of medium F (final medium) contained d -glucose (200 g/L), yeast extract (10 g/L), (NH4)2SO4 (2 g/L) and peptone (7.5 g/L), which further increased D-Arabitol production from 72.69 g/L to 76.32 g/L.

Enhanced d-Arabitol production by Zygosaccharomyces rouxii JM-C46: isolation of strains and process of repeated-batch fermentation
Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2015Co-Authors: Yan Luo, Xu Wang, Jingfei Zhu, Jing Lin, Huanhuan Zhang, Fang Chen, Wenjing SunAbstract:A new strain producing high yield of d-Arabitol was isolated from hyperosmotic environments and the ITS rDNA sequencing analysis revealed it as Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. In addition, using a pH control and repeated-batch fermentation strategy in a 5-L reactor, the maximum yield and the highest volumetric productivity of d-Arabitol were 93.48 ± 2.79 g/L and 1.143 g/L h, respectively. Volumetric productivity was successfully improved from 0.86 to 1.143 g/L h, which was increased by 32.9 % after 72 h of fermentation. Z. rouxii JM-C46 has potential to be used for d-Arabitol and xylitol production from glucose via d-Arabitol route.

contribution of fungal spores to particulate matter in a tropical rainforest
Environmental Research Letters, 2010Co-Authors: Ting Zhang, Chuenyu Chan, Xuefang Sang, Yd D Li, Guenter Engling, Zhisheng Zhang, Yinan Zhang, Y. S. LiAbstract:The polyols Arabitol and mannitol, recently proposed as source tracers for fungal spores, were used in this study to estimate fungal contributions to atmospheric aerosol. Airborne particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) was collected at Jianfengling Mountain, a tropical rainforest on Hainan Island situated off the south China coast, during spring and analyzed for Arabitol and mannitol by high-performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD). The average concentrations of Arabitol and mannitol exhibited high values with averages of 7.0 and 16.0 ng m − 3 respectively in PM2.5 and 44.0 and 71.0 ng m − 3 in PM10. The two tracers correlated well with each other, especially in the coarse mode aerosol (PM2.5 − 10), indicating they were mainly associated with coarse aerosol particles and had common sources. Arabitol and mannitol in PM10 showed significant positive correlations with relative humidity, as well as positive correlations with average temperature, suggesting a wet emissions mechanism of biogenic aerosol in the form of fungal spores. We made estimations of the contribution of fungal spores to ambient PM mass and to organic carbon, based on the observed ambient concentrations of these two tracers. The relative contributions of fungal spores to the PM10 mass were estimated to range from 1.6 to 18.2%, with a rather high mean value of 7.9%, and the contribution of fungal spores to organic carbon in PM10 ranged from 4.64 to 26.1%, with a mean value of 12.1%, implying that biological processes are important sources of atmospheric aerosol.

Arabitol and mannitol as tracers for the quantification of airborne fungal spores
Atmospheric Environment, 2008Co-Authors: Heidi Bauer, Reinhilde Vermeylen, Elisabeth Schueller, Gert Weinke, Anna Berger, Magda Claeys, Hans PuxbaumAbstract:Abstract Fungal spores constitute a sizeable fraction of coarse organic carbon (OC) in the atmospheric aerosol. In order to avoid tedious spore count methods, tracers for quantifying the spore-OC in atmospheric aerosol are sought. Arabitol and mannitol have been proposed as such tracers, since no other emission sources for these compounds have been reported. By parallel investigations of spore counts and tracer determinations from PM10 filter samples we could derive quantitative relationships between the amounts of tracer compounds and the numbers of spores in the atmosphere for different sites in the area of Vienna. We obtained over all average relationships of 1.2 pg Arabitol spore−1, with a range of 0.8–1.8, and 1.7 pg mannitol spore−1, with a range of 1.2–2.4, with a clear site dependence. Thus, using these conversion factors from spore counts to spore-OC and spore-mass, along with analytical data for Arabitol or mannitol in filter samples, the contribution of fungal spores to the OC and to the mass balance of atmospheric aerosol particles can be estimated.
