New Penicillium and Talaromyces species from honey, pollen and nests of stingless bees
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2018Co-Authors: Renan N. Barbosa, Neiva T. Oliveira, Jadson D P Bezerra, Cristina Maria De Souza-motta, Robert A Samson, Jens Christian Frisvad, Jos HoubrakenAbstract:Penicillium and Talaromyces species have a worldwide distribution and are isolated from various materials and hosts, including insects and their substrates. The aim of this study was to characterize the Penicillium and Talaromyces species obtained during a survey of honey, pollen and the inside of nests of Melipona scutellaris. A total of 100 isolates were obtained during the survey and 82% of those strains belonged to Penicillium and 18% to Talaromyces. Identification of these isolates was performed based on phenotypic characters and β-tubulin and ITS sequencing. Twenty-one species were identified in Penicillium and six in Talaromyces, including seven new species. These new species were studied in detail using a polyphasic approach combining phenotypic, molecular and extrolite data. The four new Penicillium species belong to sections Sclerotiora (Penicillium fernandesiae sp. nov., Penicillium mellis sp. nov., Penicillium meliponae sp. nov.) and Gracilenta (Penicillium apimei sp. nov.) and the three new Talaromyces species to sections Helici (Talaromyces pigmentosus sp. nov.), Talaromyces (Talaromyces mycothecae sp. nov.) and Trachyspermi (Talaromyces brasiliensis sp. nov.). The invalidly described species Penicillium echinulonalgiovense sp. nov. was also isolated during the survey and this species is validated here.

a critical review of producers of small lactone mycotoxins patulin penicillic acid and moniliformin
World Mycotoxin Journal, 2018Co-Authors: Jens Christian FrisvadAbstract:A very large number of filamentous fungi has been reported to produce the small lactone mycotoxins patulin, penicillic acid and moniliformin. Among the 167 reported fungal producers of patulin, only production by 29 species could be confirmed. Patulin is produced by 3 Aspergillus species, 3 Paecilomyces species, 22 Penicillium species from 7 sections of Penicillium, and one Xylaria species. Among 101 reported producers of penicillic acid, 48 species could produce this mycotoxin. Penicillic acid is produced by 23 species in section Aspergillus subgenus Circumdati section Circumdati, by Malbranchea aurantiaca and by 24 Penicillium species from 9 sections in Penicillium and one species that does not actually belong to Penicillium (P. megasporum). Among 40 reported producers of moniliformin, five species have been regarded as doubtful producers of this mycotoxin or are now regarded as taxonomic synonyms. Moniliformin is produced by 34 Fusarium species and one Penicillium species. All the accepted producers of...

new sections in Penicillium containing novel species producing patulin pyripyropens or other bioactive compounds
Persoonia, 2016Co-Authors: Jos Houbraken, L Wang, Hyang Burm Lee, Jens Christian FrisvadAbstract:Subgenera and sections have traditionally been used in Penicillium classifications. In the past, this sectional classification was based on macro- and microscopic characters, and occasionally supplemented with physiological and/or extrolite data. Currently, 25 sections are accepted, largely based on phylogenetic data. Certain sections of subgenus Penicillium were never studied in detail using a multigene sequence approach combined with phenotypic, ecological and extrolite data. Based on a combined partial β-tubulin (BenA), calmodulin (CaM) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) multigene sequence dataset, we introduce two new sections (Osmophila and Robsamsonia) in subgenus Penicillium and synonymize section Digitata with section Penicillium. The phylogeny correlates well with phenotypic, physiological and ecological data, and some extrolites were diagnostic for certain Penicillium sections. Furthermore, four new species belonging to the newly introduced sections are described using a polyphasic approach, including BenA, CaM and RPB2 sequences, macro- and micromorphological data and extrolite profiles. The new section Robsamsonia and the new species Penicillium robsamsonii and Penicillium samsonianum were introduced to celebrate Dr. Robert A. Samson’s 70th birthday.

patulin and secondary metabolite production by marine derived Penicillium strains
Fungal Biology, 2012Co-Authors: Marieke Vansteelandt, Jens Christian Frisvad, Isabelle Kerzaon, Elodie Blanchet, Olivia Fossi Tankoua, Thibaut Robiou Du Pont, Yolaine Joubert, Fabrice Monteau, Bruno Le Bizec, Yves Francois PouchusAbstract:Abstract Genus Penicillium represents an important fungal group regarding to its mycotoxin production. Secondary metabolomes of eight marine-derived strains belonging to subgenera Furcatum and Penicillium were investigated using dereplication by liquid chromatography (LC)–Diode Array Detector (DAD)–mass spectrometry (MS)/MS. Each strain was grown on six different culture media to enhance the number of observable metabolites. Thirty-two secondary metabolites were detected in crude extracts with twenty first observations for studied species. Patulin, a major mycotoxin, was classically detected in extracts of Penicillium expansum , and was also isolated from Penicillium antarcticum cultures, whose secondary metabolome is still to be done. These detections constituted the first descriptions of patulin in marine strains of Penicillium , highlighting the risk for shellfish and their consumers due to the presence of these fungi in shellfish farming areas. Patulin induced acute neurotoxicity on Diptera larvae, indicating the interest of this bioassay as an additional tool for detection of this major mycotoxin in crude extracts.

the mycobiota of three dry cured meat products from slovenia
Food Microbiology, 2011Co-Authors: Silva Sonjak, Mia Licen, Jens Christian FrisvadAbstract:The surface mycobiota of three types of Slovenian dry-cured meat products were isolated from a total of 75 items of product that were sampled periodically during the drying/ripening stage of processing. The predominant filamentous fungal genus isolated was Penicillium. Eurotium spp., Aspergillus versicolor and Cladosporium spp. were isolated from only two of the products. Eight Penicillium species were identified. Penicillium nordicum was recovered frequently. Penicillium nalgiovense was recovered less frequently, from one product only (a salami), while a yet-to-be described species Penicillium “milanense” was isolated from 21 items. The other penicillia were rarely isolated. Of the isolated and identified species, those that can produce mycotoxins are: A. versicolor, Penicillium brevicompactum, Penicillium chrysogenum, P. nordicum, and Penicillium polonicum. Their growth on dry-cured meat products is undesirable.

'LP2M Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta', 2018Co-Authors: Lestari Wahyu, Martina Atria, Roza, Rodesia Mustika, Wardani ImeldaAbstract:Abstrak Lumpur minyak bumi (oil sludge) memiliki kandungan kontaminan petroleum hidrokarbon terbesar, karenanya pengolahan limbah oil sludge perlu dilakukan agar tidak mencemari lingkungan. Penelitian yang menguji kemampuan jamur indigenus Riau (Penicillium sp. PN6) dan legum akuatik (Neptunia oleracea) dalam meremediasi senyawa hidrokarbon dengan pengukuran total petroleum hidrokarbon (TPH) pada limbah oil sludge telah dilakukan. Pertumbuhan N. oleracea dilakukan pada media limbah oil sludge dengan konsentrasi 25, 50, 75, dan 100%. Selanjutnya dilakukan pemberian inokulum Penicillium sp. PN6 ke dalam media pertumbuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase pertumbuhan N. oleracea adalah 95,58; 85,87; 25,55; dan 0%, berturut-turut pada limbah oil sludge 25, 50, 75, dan 100%. Terjadi penurunan konsentrasi TPH awal pada semua perlakuan di akhir pengamatan. Penicillium sp. PN6 meningkatkan degradasi TPH dari limbah oil sludge dibandingkan dengan kombinasi Penicillium sp. PN6 dengan N. oleracea, tetapi kombinasi Penicillium sp.PN6 dengan N. oleracea meningkatkan persentase penurunan TPH dari limbah oil sludge dibandingkan dengan menggunakan Penicillium sp. PN6 saja. Penicillium sp. PN6 dan kombinasinya dengan N. oleracea sama-sama mampu menurunkan pH limbah oil sludge.Abstract Oil sludge contains the largest contaminant of petroleum hydrocarbon that needs treatment to prevent its pollution into the environment. A study examining the ability of a Riau indigenous fungi (Penicillium sp. PN6) and an aquatic legume (Neptunia oleracea) to remediate hydrocarbon compounds by determining total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in oil sludge waste has been conducted. The growth of N. oleracea was performed in the oil sludge waste media by concentrations of 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The medium was inoculated with Penicillium sp. PN6. The results showed that the percentage of growth of N. oleracea were 95.58; 85.87; 25.55; and 0%, in the oil sludge waste of 25, 50, 75, and 100%, respectively. There was a decrease in initial TPH concentration at all treatments at the end of the observation. Penicillium sp. PN6 increased more TPH degradation of the oil sludge waste compared to a combination of Penicillium sp. PN6 and N.oleracea, but the combination increased the decrease percentage of TPH compared to those that used Penicillium sp. PN6 only. Penicillium sp. PN6 and its combination with N. oleracea are both able to decrease pH of the oil sludge waste. Permalink/DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15408/kauniyah.v11i1. 6350

isolation of lactic acid bacteria with antifungal activity against the common cheese spoilage mould Penicillium commune and their potential as biopreservatives in cheese
Food Control, 2014Co-Authors: Elsie Y L Cheong, Amrita Sandhu, Jayaram Jayabalan, Thu Thi Kieu Le, Nguyen Thi Nhiep, Huong T M Ho, Jutta Zwielehner, Nidhi Bansal, Mark S TurnerAbstract:Moulds are the most common cheese spoilage organisms which can lead to economic loss as well as raising public health concerns due to the production of mycotoxins. In this study, 897 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from different herbs, fruits and vegetables were screened for their antifungal activity in an agar plate overlay assay. Thirty-six isolates had weak activity, 11 had moderate activity and 12 were confirmed as having strong activity. The strong antifungal isolates were obtained from a range of different sources but were all identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as being Lactobacillus plantarum. The antifungal spectra for these 12 isolates were determined against eight other moulds commonly associated with cheese spoilage and all isolates were found to possess inhibition against Penicillium solitum, Aspergillus versicolor and Cladosporium herbarum, but not against Penicillium roqueforti, Penicillium glabrum, Mucor circinelloides, Geotrichum candidum or Byssochlamys nivea. The absence of sodium acetate from MRS agar resulted in no inhibition of Penicilium commune, suggesting the synergistic effect of acetic acid with the antifungal LAB, similarly to that previously reported. To determine their potential as biopreservatives in cheese, LAB isolates were inoculated into cottage cheese prior to the addition of P. commune. All Lb. plantarum isolates were found to prevent the visible growth of P. commune on cottage cheese by between 14 and >25 days longer than cottage cheese that contained either no added LAB or LAB that did not have antifungal activity (Lactococcus lactis, Weissella soli, Leuconostoc inhae and Leuconostoc mesenteroides isolates). The results of this study shows that LAB isolated from various herbs, fruits and vegetables possess antifungal activity and have potential for use as biopreservatives in cheese.
