In this study, the relationship between morphology and viscosity of the main culture broth of Cephalosporium acremonium M25 was investigated in a 2.5 L bioreactor. The differentiation of C. acremonium M25 showed a complex pattern during the main culture. The morphological changes of C. acremonium M25 were related to the rheological properties of the culture broth and it was well agreed with the power law model. As a result of rheology study, it was found that rheological properties of the main culture broths of C. acremonium M25 in bioreactor were closely related to morphological changes. Also, fractal dimension fairly predicted morphological and rheological changes in the main culture broth.

The aim of this study was to characterize a new fungal species, Acremonium conglutinatum, isolated from air samples collected in Wando, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit regions revealed its unique position within the genus Acremonium. The isolated strain displayed distinct morphological characteristics, including ellipsoid or bent-ellipsoid conidia formed in clusters on the phialides. These features differentiate the new species from closely related species within the genus. This study describes the morphological and molecular characteristics of A. conglutinatum and emphasizes its phylogenetic relationships with other Acremonium spp. The identification of this novel species contributes to our understanding of the diversity and ecological role of Acremonium.

DL-seleno-methionine에 내성을 갖는 변이주, Cephalosporium acremonium MS-92는 무기황과 메치오닌의 Uptake rate가 모균보다 우수하였으며, 세포내에 과량의 메치오닌과 S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)을 축적하였다. 또 C. acremonium에서 무기황의 uptake rate는 시스테인에 의해 크게 저해되었다. Crude enzymes extracts에서 변이주 MS-92 는 cell내에 cysteine을 적게 형성하였다 즉, L.-serine sulfhydrylase 활성이 모균보다 낮았으며 세포내에 시스테인의 양을 간접적으로 알 수 있는 시스테인 분해효소인 cysteine desulfhydrylase 활성치 변이주에는 모균의 약 반이였다. 이상의 결과에서 C. acremonium에서 메치오닌을 만드는 효소들의 조절에는 A. nidulans와 비슷하게 시스테인이 관여한다는 것을 추측할 수 있었다.

항세균성 항생제인 세팔로스포린 C가 그 자신의 생산균주인 C. acremonium M-113의 생장을 저해하였다. 비슷한 저해현상이 C. acremonium ATCC 20339와 ATCC 14553에도 관찰되었다. 세팔로스포린C의 최소 생육 저지농도가 분생포자의 경우 200-500$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$이었고 균사의 경우 3,000-4,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$이었다. 이 최소 생육 저지농도는 복합배지에서 더욱 상승되었다. 세팔로스포린C는 배양초기에 존재할 경우. 그 생육 저지 효과를 나타내었다. 세팔로스포린 C의 생육 저지 효과는 세팔로스포린 C가 아미노산의 세포 내로의 수송을 방해함으로써 나타나는 것으로 조사되었다. 생육 저지 기저에 세팔로스포린 C의 3' 기가 중요 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 세팔로스포린 C는 배지에 질소원이 결핍될 때 질소원으로 이용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A transformation system mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens is routinely used for the genetic engineering of plants. Here, we report an efficient and stable method for transformation of heterogeneous genes into an industrial Cephalosporium acremonium by using a similar transformation system established in plants. Both the phleomycin-resistant gene and vgb gene were used as screening markers to confirm the success of transformation by either Southern hybridization or PCR amplification. It was found that acetosyringone (AS) was necessary only for protoplast transformation and the heterogeneous genes transferred were integrated into the genome of C. acremonium. The transformation efficiency obtained with this system was much higher than the conventional techniques used for transformation of C. acremonium.

Cephalosporium acremonium is a filamentous microorganism producing cephalosporin C. The morphological differentiation of C. acremonium in submerged culture is closely related with the rheological properties of culture broth and production of cephalosporin C. In this study, the rheological and morphological properties of culture broth of C. acremonium were investigated. In the seed broths of shake-flask and fermenter culture, the Herschel-Berkley equation was in excellent agreement with experimental results in the whole range of shear rate. In the seed broths of shake-flask culture, morphological differentiation into arthrospores affected to changes of apparent viscosity. But results in the fermenter culture, morphological factors such as mean hyphal thickness and the number of tips gave more effect on changes of apparent vitacosity than differentiation into arthrospores. Overall, it suggested that the morphological parameters measured by image analysis can be used as a good parameter to indicate the rheological properties of culture broth of C. acremonium M25.

최소 생산배지에 포함된 25mM 이상의 무기인(Inorganic phosphate)은 Cephalosporium acremonium의 생육은 증대시켰으나, cephalosporin C(CPC) 생산은 감소시켰다. Phosphate-starved 휴지세포계를 이용하여 균체내의 ATP, ADP와 AMP를 측정하였다. 그 결과로부터 무기인은 adenylated nucleotide의 농도의 비율로 표시되는 energy charge를 조절하여 CPC 생산성에 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 무기인에 의한 CPC 생합성은 repression 효과에 의한 것이 아니라 inhibition 효과에 의해 조절받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A fungal strain BCP, which parasitizes Botrytis cinerea gray mold pathogen, was isolated and identified as Acremonium strictum. BCP strain overgrew the colonies of B. cinerea and caused severe lysis of the host hyphae. Frequent penetration and hyphal growth of A. strictum BCP inside the mycelia of B. cinerea were observed under light microscopy. In addition, some morphological abnormalities such as granulation and vacuolation of the cytoplasm were observed in mycelia and spores of B. cinerea. In dual culture test, A. strictum BCP strongly inhibited the mycelial growth of several plant pathogenic fungi as well as B. cinerea. To our knowledge, this is the first report on mycoparasitism of Acremonium species on B. cinerea.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrients and culture conditions on morphology during the seed culture of C. acremonium ATCC 20339 Morphological factors such as hyphal length number of tips number of arthrospores were observed to investigate the relationship between seed morphology and CPC production. During the time course of seed culture, hyphal length was shortened and the number of arthrospores increased rapidly On the other hand the number of tips deceased rapidly and this was closely related to the hyphal length Mixed nitrogen sources of 3% solybean meal and 1% cotton seed flour were determined as the proper organic nitrogen sources, in terms of the morphological factors in the seed culture. This fact was proven in batch culture for the production of Cephalosporin C. It was also found that a proper agitation speed enhanced the morphological differentiation of C. acremonium ATCC 20339, thus improving the production of Cephalosporin C.

During a survey of fungal diversity of the order Hypocreales in Korea, two Acremonium isolates, CNUFC-1YSRS2-4 and CNUFC-GSNPF3-1, were isolated from soils collected on a bank of the Yeongsan River, Naju, and in a forest on the Mt. Daegak located on Sinsi Island, Gunsan, South Korea, respectively. Based on the morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and D1/D2 domains of 28S ribosomal DNA, the isolates CNUFC-1YSRS2-4 and CNUFC-GSNPF3-1 were identified as A. variecolor and A. persicinum, respectively. These 2 species represent novel Hypocreales isolates in Korea.
