Fungi Fusarium

Rapid-acting dermally hazardous cytotoxin that inhibits protein synthesis and affects clotting factors in the blood. It is capable of producing incapacitating or lethal effects. T2 is obtained from various molds and fungi (Fusarium sp.). It is a colorless crystalline solid of white powder that melts at 304°F. Impure samples may be a colorless to slightly yellow oil. It is slightly soluble in water, but soluble in ethyl acetate, acetone, ethanol, chloroform, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). It is heat stable and can be stored at room temperature for years.

Biological In an in vitro study, the soil fungi Fusarium oxysponim and Paecilomyces varioti degraded pendimethalin to W(l-ethylpropyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2-nitrobenzene-l,6-diamine and 3,4-di-methyl-2,6-dinitroaniline. The latter compound was the only metabolite identified by another soil fungus namely, Rhizoctonia bataticola (Singh and Kulshrestha, 1991). 

High levels of Ci are found in culture filtrates of only a few cellulolytic microorganisms high levels of Cx are found in many. Many culture filtrates rich in Cx contain no Ci, but the converse is not true. Good examples of culture filtrates rich in C i are those from the fungi Fusarium solani (12, 20, 21), Penicillium funiculosum (13, 21), Sporotrichum pul-verulentum (23,24), and Trichoderma koningii (25,26,27), but culture filtrates of T. viride (28-32), particularly T. xeesei (33) (formerly T. viride QM 6a) and derived mutants (34), appear to be the best. 

The main metabolites of this group of fungi (Fusarium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Alternaria) are not only mycotoxins but also hormonally active compounds as well as enzymes, for instance amylase, chitinase, cellulase, glucanase, xylanase, or protease (Pawelzik et al. 1998).

Among various fungi, Fusarium oxysporum AKU 302 lactonase showed the highest activity. Compared with asymmetric chemical or microbial reduction methods or conventional chemical resolution, this lactonase process demonstrates superior performance [109]. 

Mandal et al. (68) have reported on the antimicrobial activity of the leaf extract of K suaveolens. The steam-distilled oil, petroleum ether and ethanol extracts exhibited broad-spectmm antibacterial and antifungal activity against Bacillus subtilis. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Micrococcus luteus., and the fungi Fusarium oxysporum.

Fatty acids with a cyclohexane ring at the end of the hydrocarbon chain, such as 11-cyclohexylundecanoic (3-27) and 13-cyclohexyltridecanoic acids are minor constituents of milk, butter, sheep s tallow and rumen bacteria. The amount of 11-cyclohexylundecanoic acid in cow and goat milk is 1 2 g/kg. It was found that this acid has inhibitory effects on the bacteria Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli and fungi Fusarium ctdmorum. Cyclic fatty acids are also found in the ordinary oils, where their formation is induced by heating (see Section 3.8.1.5).
