High impact information on Talaromyces

• The skyrin used was isolated from Talaromyces wortmanni American Type Culture Collection 10517 [1].
• We have found that a fungal strain, Talaromyces wortmannin KY12420, produces a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) [2].
• Three forms of exocellobiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.91), CBH IA, CBH IB and CBH II, were isolated to apparent homogeneity from culture filtrates of the aerobic fungus Talaromyces emersonii [3].
• Culture filtrates from Talaromyces flavus grown on glucose contained high levels of glucose oxidase activity, while culture filtrates from T. flavus grown on xylan contained negligible glucose oxidase activity [4].
• Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase from the thermophilic, filamentous fungus Talaromyces emersonii [5].

Biological context of Talaromyces

• Analysis of an authentic sample of the antifungal antibiotic talaron from the biocontrol fungus Talaromyces flavus indicated that approximately 40% of the solid sample was glucose oxidase [6].
• Studies on the biosorption of uranium by Talaromyces emersonii CBS 814.70 biomass [7].

Associations of Talaromyces with chemical compounds

• Development of a transformation system for the thermophilic fungus Talaromyces sp. CL240 based on the use of phleomycin resistance as a dominant selectable marker [8].
• Trehalose degradation and glucose efflux precede cell ejection during germination of heat-resistant ascospores of Talaromyces macrosporus [9].
• Growth of three strains of heat-resistant fungi, Byssochlamys fulva, Neosartorya fischeri and Talaromyces avellaneus, was studied at 25 degrees C at eight or nine water activities (a(w)) adjusted with sucrose between 0.995 and 0.85 [10].
• The next group surviving 70 degrees C for 60 min included the A. glaucus group, Byssochlamys nivea, Dichotomomyces cejpii, Gelasinospora spp, Rhizoctonium spp, and Talaromyces flavus; they did not survive 80 degrees C for 10 min [11].
• Talaromyces flavus FKI-0076, a soil isolate, was found to produce compounds which reinforce the anti-Candida albicans activity of miconazole [12].

Gene context of Talaromyces

• Trachyspic acid, a new metabolite produced by Talaromyces trachyspermus, that inhibits tumor cell heparanase: taxonomy of the producing strain, fermentation, isolation, structural elucidation, and biological activity [13].
• A screen of 46 UV-mutant strains of the moderately thermophilic fungus Talaromyces emersonii yielded two mutants (TC2, TC5) that displayed gross morphological differences to the parent strain and enhanced activity against mixed linkage cereal beta-glucans [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Talaromyces

• Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (m-MDH; EC 1.1.1.37), from mycelial extracts of the thermophilic, aerobic fungus Talaromyces emersonii, was purified to homogeneity by sequential hydrophobic interaction and biospecific affinity chromatography steps [5].
