  • the mitochondrial respiratory chain of Rhizopus Stolonifer ehrenb fr vuill
    Archives of Microbiology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Leobarda Roblesmartinez, Miguel Velazquezdel G Valle, A N Hernandezlauzardo, Maria Guadalupe Guerrasanchez, Oscar Floresherrera, Juan Pablo Pardo
    Abstract:

    Rhizopus Stolonifer (Ehrenb.:Fr.) Vuill mitochondria contain the complete system for oxidative phosphorylation, formed by the classical components of the electron transport chain (complexes I, II, III, and IV) and the F1F0-ATP synthase (complex V). Using the native gel electrophoresis, we have shown the existence of supramolecular associations of the respiratory complexes. The composition and stoichiometry of the oxidative phosphorylation complexes were similar to those found in other organisms. Additionally, two alternative routes for the oxidation of cytosolic NADH were identified: the alternative NADH dehydrogenase and the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttles. Residual respiratory activity after inhibition of complex IV by cyanide was inhibited by low concentrations of n-octyl gallate, indicating the presence of an alternative oxidase. The K0.5 for the respiratory substrates NADH, succinate, and glycerol-3-phosphate in permeabilized cells was higher than in isolated mitochondria, suggesting that interactions of mitochondria with other cellular elements might be important for the function of this organelle.

    Co-Authors: A N Hernandezlauzardo, Silvia Bautistabanos, M Velazquezdel G Valle, M G Mendezmontealvo, Mirna M Sanchezrivera, Luis A Belloperez
    Abstract:

    Determination of the molecular weight of three types of chitosan was carried out by HPSEC-RI. The effect of low, medium and high molecular weight chitosan was evaluated on development of three isolates of Rhizopus Stolonifer. Image analysis and electronic microscopy observations were done in spores of this fungus. Germination of R. Stolonifer in potato dextrose broth with chitosan was also evaluated. Results pointed out that the low molecular weight chitosan was more effective for inhibition of mycelial growth while the high molecular weight chitosan affected spore shape, sporulation and germination. Studies of scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed numerous and deeper ridge ornamentations of the chitosan-treated spore.

  • Rhizopus Stolonifer soft rot
    Postharvest Decay#R##N#Control Strategies, 2014
    Co-Authors: Silvia Bautistabanos, E Bosquezmolina, Laura Leticia Barreranecha
    Abstract:

    Abstract Rhizopus Stolonifer is considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus . Disease symptoms that characterize R. Stolonifer infection are watery areas quickly covered by coarse, gray hairy mycelia forming a mass of black sporangia at their tips. Infection usually occurs during harvest and handling. Due to the wide array of hosts that R. Stolonifer can infect and its fast penetration and colonization, it has become an important target to control. Overall, R. Stolonifer is controlled using synthetic fungicides; among the various registered fungicides are thiabendazole, benomyl, imazalil, propiconazole and thiocarbamates. The fungicides fluodioxonyl, tebuconazole, fenhexamide and azoxystrobin have also achieved notable control of this fungus. Sanitizers like chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, ozone and peracetic acid have shown to have good control on Rhizopus . Of the various non-conventional methods under experimentation, antagonists have attracted considerable attention. Bacteria including Pantoe agglomerans , Enterobacter cloacae , Pseudomonas syringae , and Bacillus spp., as well as yeasts of the genera Pichia , Kloeckera , Candida , Cryptoccoccus , Metschnikowia and Acremonium , have exerted a significant control on this fungus. Aqueous plant extracts belonging to the botanical families Amaryllidaceae, Annonaceae, Arecaceae, Bromeliaceae, Caricaceae, Lamiaceae, Lauraceae, Leguminosae, Meliacea, Myrtaceae, Pinaceae, Sapotaceae, Solanaceae and Urticaceae, along with the essential oils of the genera Thymus , Cinnamom , Origanum and Citrus , have also produced excellent results under experimentation. UVC irradiation levels of up to 3.6 kJm 2 showed levels of control up to 50% on R. Stolonifer . Chitosan, a widely known chitin derivative, alone or in combination with other natural products, has been able to reduce significantly Rhizopus soft rot on various horticultural commodities at various concentrations. Volatiles, hypobaric atmospheres, salts, minerals, plant phenolics, hot water, wax and salicylic acid have resulted in good control methods with promising applications.

    Co-Authors: Bin Tang, Qingqing Zhang, Lixia Ding
    Abstract:

    Abstract A novel gene, EG encoding enzymes involved in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) degradation was isolated, sequenced from the filamentous fungus Rhizopus Stolonifer var. reflexus TP-02, and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. The results showed that the gene amplified from the cDNA of the strain could be classified as the family of endoglucanase. During the fermentation process, the maximum endoglucanase activity (i.e. 0.715 IU/ml) of the recombinant bacteria was obtained at 36 h. The SDS–PAGE analysis on purified samples showed that a band with apparent molecular weight of about 40 kDa was detected after staining with Coomassie brilliant blue.

  • antifungal activity of chitosan and essential oils on Rhizopus Stolonifer ehrenb fr vuill causal agent of soft rot of tomato
    Revista Colombiana de Biotecnología, 2011
    Co-Authors: Alejandra Maria Alvarado Hernandez, Laura Leticia Barrera Necha, Ana Niurka Hernandez Lauzardo, Miguel Velazquezdel G Valle
    Abstract:

    Rhizopus Stolonifer is the causal agent of soft rot, postharvest disease that causes important economic losses. Synthetic fungicides such as dichloran have been used to control this microorganism; however, it has been shown that fungicides represent a risk for the environment and human health. Actually, natural alternatives are looked for the control of postharvest rotting. In vitro and in situ experiments the antifungal effect of chitosan, essential oils of cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and dichloran on Rhizopus Stolonifer were evaluated. The most effective treatments for in vitro inhibition of Rhizopus Stolonifer were obtained by quitosano to 10 mg mL, with the three essential oils proved to the concentration of 0.3 mg mL, the mixtures chitosan to 10 mg mL with the oils at 0.3 mg mL and dichloran at 1 mg mL. In situ experiments showed that the individual treatment with chitosan was the best to reduce the infection percentage of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruits inoculated with Rhizopus Stolonifer and chitosan mixture with essential oils did not improve its antifungal activity. Chitosan and dichloran were the best treatments to reduce the weight loss of the fruits. Individual treatments with chitosan represent a natural alternative for the control of soft rot on tomato fruits.
