Analysis of 49 strains of originating from northern Europe (Russia, Finland, Sweden, UK, Norway, and Latvia) revealed the presence of spontaneous auxotrophic mutants that reflect natural intraspecific diversity. Our investigations detected that 49.0% of strains were auxotrophic mutants for biotin, and 8.2% of the strains required thiamine as a growth factor. They failed to grow on vitamin-free media. For both prototrophic and auxotrophic strains, no growth defect was observed in rich organic media. Without essential vitamins, a significant reduction in the growth of the auxotrophic strains results in a decrease of the formation of T-2 toxin and diacetoxyscirpenol. In addition, all analysed strains were distinguished into two subgroups based on PCR product sizes. According to our results, 26 and 23 strains of belong to subgroups I and II respectively. We determined that the deletion in the intergenic spacer (IGS) region of the rDNA of belonging to subgroup II is linked with temperature sensitivity and causes a decrease in strain growth at 30 °C. Four thiamine auxotrophic strains were found in subgroup I, while 21 biotin auxotrophic strains were detected in subgroups II. To the best of our knowledge, the spontaneous mutations in observed in the present work have not been previously reported.
对源自北欧(俄罗斯、芬兰、瑞典、英国、挪威和拉脱维亚)的49株[未提及的菌株名称]进行分析,发现存在自发营养缺陷型突变体,这反映了自然种内多样性。我们的研究检测到,49.0%的[未提及的菌株名称]菌株是生物素营养缺陷型突变体,8.2%的菌株需要硫胺素作为生长因子。它们在无维生素培养基上无法生长。对于原养型和营养缺陷型菌株,在富含有机物的培养基中均未观察到生长缺陷。在没有必需维生素的情况下,营养缺陷型菌株生长显著减少,导致T-2毒素和二乙酰氧基雪腐镰刀菌烯醇的形成减少。此外,根据PCR产物大小,所有分析的[未提及的菌株名称]菌株被分为两个亚组。根据我们的结果,分别有26株和23株[未提及的菌株名称]属于亚组I和亚组II。我们确定,属于亚组II的[未提及的菌株名称]rDNA基因间隔区(IGS)的缺失与温度敏感性相关,并导致菌株在30°C时生长减少。在亚组I中发现了4株硫胺素营养缺陷型菌株,而在亚组II中检测到21株生物素营养缺陷型菌株。据我们所知,本研究中观察到的[未提及的菌株名称]自发突变此前尚未见报道。
