Metabolic profiling of Minimedusa polyspora (Hotson) Weresub & P.M. LeClair, a cellulolytic fungus isolated from Mediterranean maquis, in southern Italy

摘要: The fungus Minimedusa polyspora (Hotson) Weresub & P.M. Le Clair was isolated during a survey aimed at collecting cellulolytic fungi from the soil–litter interface of Mediterranean maquis environment in Italy. metabolic profiling species and its ability to translocate nutrients between decaying leaf litter soil have been investigated by means Phenotype MicroArray™, Scanning Electron Microscopy microanalysis techniques. MicroArray™ showed that possesses preference for polysaccharides initial phases growth, it prefers hexoses then oligosaccharides later development. M. proved be capable concentrating several important biogenic microelements (N, P, S, K Ca), which are absent cellulosic substrate before fungal colonization. This capacity nutrient uptake translocation other sources than cellulose makes this very efficient pioneer colonizer requires little ni...
