The metabolic potency of fungi as camptothecin producer elevates their prospective use as an industrial platform for commercial production, however, the loss of camptothecin productivity by fungi with the storage and subculturing are the major obstacle. Thus, screening for endophytic fungal isolates inhabiting ethnopharmacological plants with an obvious metabolic stability and sustainability for camptothecin biosynthesis could be one of the most feasible paradigms. Aspergillus terreus ON908494.1, an endophyte of Cestrum parqui was morphologically and molecularly verified, displaying the most potent camptothecin biosynthetic potency. The chemical identity of A. terreus camptothecin was confirmed from the HPLC, FTIR and LC-MS/MS analyses, gave the same molecular structure and mass fragmentation patterns of authentic one. The purified putative camptothecin displayed a strong anticancer activity towards HepG-2 and MCF-7 with IC values 0.96 and 1.4 µM, respectively, with no toxicity to OEC normal cells. As well as, the purified camptothecin displayed a significant antifungal activity towards fungal human pathogen Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, and A. parasiticus, ensuring the unique structural activity relationships of A. terreus camptothecin, as a powerful dually active anticancer and antimicrobial agent. The camptothecin productivity of A. terreus was maximized by bioprocessing with Plackett-Burman design, with an overall 1.5 folds increment (170.5 µg/L), comparing to control culture. So, the optimal medium components for maximum yield of camptothecin by A. terreus was acid why (2.0 mL/L), Diaion HP20 (2.0 g/L), Amberlite XAD (2.0 g/L), dextrin (5.0 g/L), glucose (10.0 g/L), salicylic acid (2.0 g/L), serine (4.0 g/L), cysteine (4.0 g/L) and glutamate (10.0 g/L), at pH 6 for 15 days incubation. By the 5th generation of A. terreus, the camptothecin yield was reduced by 60%, comparing to zero culture. Interestingly, the productivity of camptothecin by A. terreus has been completely restored and over increased (210 µg/L), comparing to the 3 generation A. terreus (90 µg/L) upon addition of methanolic extracts of Citrus limonum peels, revealing the presence of some chemical signals that triggers the camptothecin biosynthetic machinery. The feasibility of complete restoring of camptothecin biosynthetic-machinery of A. terreus for stable and sustainable production of camptothecin, pave the way for using this fungal isolate as new platform for scaling-up the camptothecin production.
真菌作为喜树碱生产者的代谢能力提高了它们作为工业平台用于商业生产的前景,然而,真菌在储存和传代过程中喜树碱生产力的丧失是主要障碍。因此,筛选具有明显代谢稳定性和可持续性的用于喜树碱生物合成的内生真菌分离株可能是最可行的范例之一。内生真菌 Aspergillus terreus ON908494.1 被证明是 Cestrum parqui 的内生菌,具有最强的喜树碱生物合成能力。通过 HPLC、FTIR 和 LC-MS/MS 分析,确定了 A. terreus 喜树碱的化学结构,其分子结构和质量碎片模式与标准品相同。纯化的推定喜树碱对 HepG-2 和 MCF-7 表现出强烈的抗癌活性,IC 值分别为 0.96 和 1.4 µM,对 OEC 正常细胞无毒性。此外,纯化的喜树碱对真菌人类病原体白色念珠菌、黄曲霉和寄生曲霉表现出显著的抗真菌活性,确保了 A. terreus 喜树碱独特的结构活性关系,作为一种强大的双重抗癌和抗菌剂。通过 Plackett-Burman 设计进行生物处理,使 A. terreus 的喜树碱生产力最大化,与对照培养相比,总体增加了 1.5 倍(170.5 µg/L)。因此,A. terreus 产生喜树碱的最佳培养基成分是酸性为什么(2.0 mL/L)、Diaion HP20(2.0 g/L)、Amberlite XAD(2.0 g/L)、糊精(5.0 g/L)、葡萄糖(10.0 g/L)、水杨酸(2.0 g/L)、丝氨酸(4.0 g/L)、半胱氨酸(4.0 g/L)和谷氨酸(10.0 g/L),在 pH 6 下孵育 15 天。到第 5 代时,与零培养相比,喜树碱的产量减少了 60%。有趣的是,当加入柠檬皮的甲醇提取物时,A. terreus 产生喜树碱的能力完全恢复并增加了(210 µg/L),与第 3 代 A. terreus(90 µg/L)相比,这表明存在一些化学信号,触发了喜树碱生物合成机制。A. terreus 喜树碱生物合成机制的完全恢复为喜树碱的稳定和可持续生产铺平了道路,为使用这种真菌分离株作为扩大喜树碱生产的新平台奠定了基础。
