Abstract Background: The effects of Ca+2 on virulence and some parameters were tried to be analyzed in this study. P. aeruginosa and B. cereus were used as Gram (-) bacteria as a control and Gram (+) bacteria as a control. Both bacteria are soil bacteria. Results: Amylase; P. aeruginosa is 102% increase in 0.1 M Ca+2 concentrations and B. cereus caused an increase in 123%. Biofilm P. aeruginosa; 200% increase in 0.1 M Ca+2 concentrations. B. cereus caused a 252% increase in the presence of 0.15 M Ca+2. Las B; in accordance with B. cereus, Las B activity decreased 1.7 times more than with P. aeruginosa. H2O2; P. aeruginosa increased by 60% resistance. B. cereus caused only a 3% increase. Protease in P. aeruginosa increase of 220%. B. cereus caused a 548% increase. Pyorubin, a pigment, caused an increase in the presence of Ca+2. However, these increases are not seen as significant increases.Conclusion: In this study; the effect of Ca+2 on protease, amylase, LasB elastolytic assay, H2O2, pyorubin and biofilm was investigated in a 24 hour time. In the study we have conducted here, the effect of Ca+2 meat on the production of some secondary metabolites on Gram (-) P. aeruginosa and Gram (+) B. cereus was investigated for the first time. As a result, although there are many different related studies, they are not comparative as in ours. Therefore, our study has progressed in a different direction and it is a first in its field.

Concerns arising from accidental and occasional releases of novel industrial nanomaterials to the environment and waterbodies are rapidly increasing as the production and utilization levels of nanomaterials increase every day. In particular, two-dimensional nanosheets are one of the most significant emerging classes of nanomaterials used or considered for use in numerous applications and devices. This study deals with the interactions between 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets and beneficial soil bacteria. It was found that the log-reduction in the survival of Gram-positive Bacillus cereus was 2.8 (99.83%) and 4.9 (99.9988%) upon exposure to 16.0 mg/mL bulk MoS2 (macroscale) and 2D MoS2 nanosheets (nanoscale), respectively. For the case of Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the log-reduction values in bacterial survival were 1.9 (98.60%) and 5.4 (99.9996%) for the same concentration of bulk MoS2 and MoS2 nanosheets, respectively. Based on these findings, it is important to consider the potential toxicity of MoS2 nanosheets on beneficial soil bacteria responsible for nitrate reduction and nitrogen fixation, soil formation, decomposition of dead and decayed natural materials, and transformation of toxic compounds into nontoxic compounds to adequately assess the environmental impact of 2D nanosheets and nanomaterials.

The genus Stachybotrys produces a broad diversity of secondary metabolites, including macrocyclic trichothecenes, atranones, and phenylspirodrimanes. Although the class of the phenylspirodrimanes is the major one and consists of a multitude of metabolites bearing various structural modifications, few investigations have been carried out. Thus, the presented study deals with the quantitative determination of several secondary metabolites produced by distinct Stachybotrys species for comparison of their metabolite profiles. For that purpose, 15 of the primarily produced secondary metabolites were isolated from fungal cultures and structurally characterized in order to be used as analytical standards for the development of an LC-MS/MS multimethod. The developed method was applied to the analysis of micro-scale extracts from 5 different Stachybotrys strains, which were cultured on different media. In that process, spontaneous dialdehyde/lactone isomerization was observed for some of the isolated secondary metabolites, and novel stachybotrychromenes were quantitatively investigated for the first time. The metabolite profiles of Stachybotrys species are considerably influenced by time of growth and substrate availability, as well as the individual biosynthetic potential of the respective species. Regarding the reported adverse effects associated with Stachybotrys growth in building environments, combinatory effects of the investigated secondary metabolites should be addressed and the role of the phenylspirodrimanes re-evaluated in future research.

Chemical compositions of plants are affected by the initial nutrient contents in the soil and climatic conditions; thus, we analyzed for the first time the effects of soil and leaf nutrients on the compositions of the essential oils (EOs) of Siparuna muricata in four different localities in Ecuador. EOs were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and a gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID). Enantiomeric distribution by GC/MS was determined, modifying the enantiomeric separation of β-pinene, limonene, δ-elemene, β-bourbonene, cis-cadina-1 (6), 4-diene and atractylone. A total of 44 compounds were identified. The most representative for L1 were guaiol, atractylone and 4-diene; for L2, cis-cadina-1(6),4-diene and myrcene; for L3, atractylone, myrcene and germacrene B; and finally, L4 germacrene B, myrcene and cis-cadina-1(6),4-diene. Correlations between soil- leaf chemical elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, N and Si in the different localities were significant with chemical composition of the essential oil of Siparuna muricata; however, correlations between soil and leaf K, P, and Na were not significant. Cluster and NMDS analysis showed high dissimilarity values of secondary metabolites between four localities related with changes in soil- leaf nutrients. Thus, the SIMPER routine revealed that not all secondary metabolites contribute equally to establishing the differences in the four localities, and the largest contributions are due to differences in guaiol, cis-cadina-1(6),4-diene, atractylone and germacrene. Our investigation showed for the first time the influences of altitude and soil- leaf chemical elements in the chemical composition of the EOs of S. muricata.

Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober 2020 - Desember 2020 di lahan tumpangsari bawang merah dan cabai, Desa Ubalan, Kecamatan Dampit, Kabupaten Malang. Persiapan penelitian meliputi survei lokasi, persiapan alat dan bahan, pengacakan perlakuan, dan penentuan tanaman sampel. Pelaksanaan penelitian meliputi pengaplikasian larutan isolat bakteri antagonis di lapang, pengamatan mingguan, dan pengolahan data. Penelitian disusun menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan 9 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Data dianalisis menggunakan sidik ragam ANOVA dan uji lanjut DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test) pada taraf 5% menggunakan software DSAASTAT. Konsorsium P7 (Pseudomonas aeruginosa + Bacillus cereus 13) lebih efektif dalam menekan penyakit virus kuning, sedangkan perlakuan konsorsium P8 (Bacillus cereus 12 + Bacillus cereus 13) lebih efektif dalam menekan penyakit bercak daun Cercospora. Perlakuan konsorsium tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap tinggi dan jumlah daun. Namun, konsorsium P7 mampu meningkatkan bobot tanaman cabai meskipun secara statistik tidak berbeda dengan perlakuan lainnya.

The One Strain Many Compounds (OSMAC) method was applied to explore the chemical diversities of secondary metabolites produced by Neosartorya fischeri NRRL 181. Four pyripyropenes 1–4, eight steroids 5–11, and four prenylated indole alkaloids 12–15, were obtained from the fungus cultured in petri dishes containing potato dextrose agar (PDA). 1,7,11-trideacetylpyripyropene A (1) and 1,11-dideacetyl pyripyropene A (2) were obtained and spectroscopically characterized (1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS) from a natural source for the first time. It offered a sustainable source of these two compounds, which were usually used as starting materials in preparing pyripyropene derivatives. In addition, as compared with all the other naturally occurring pyripyropenes, 1 and 2 possessed unique acetylation patterns that did not follow the established late-step biosynthetic rules of pyripyropenes. The natural occurrence of 1 and 2 in the fungus implied that the timing and order of hydroxylation and acetylation in the late-step biosynthetic pathway of pyripyropenes remained to be revealed. The isolation and identification of 1–15 indicated that the OSMAC method could remarkably alter the metabolic profile and enrich the chemical diversities of fungal metabolites. Compounds 1–4 exhibited no obvious cytotoxicity against the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 as compared with taxol.
