    Sangsoy, V.
    ;
    The genetic diversity and relationships among 16 cultivars of Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica) using Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were investigated. The cultivars were collected from the Phrae Horticultural Research Center, Thailand. For SRAP analysis, 30 primer combinations were initially tested, comprising five forward and six reverse primers. Seven primer combinations consistently generated well-defined bands and were selected for genetic profiling. These SRAP primers amplified 172 fragments, with 145 (84.30%) polymorphic. For RAPD analysis, 50 primers were evaluated, and eight primers consistently produced clear bands of genetic profiling. These RAPD primers amplified 215 fragments, with 188 (87.44%) polymorphic. The genetic relationships among the cultivars were assessed using a dendrogram constructed with NTSYS-pc (version 2.1X) based on the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). The genetic similarity coefficients ranged from 0.66 to 0.90 for SRAP and from 0.58 to 0.89 for RAPD markers, indicating a high level of genetic diversity among the cultivars.

    The present study aimed to discover good lignocellulolytic enzyme (LCE) producers from Thailand’s tropical forest and then examine their multiple LCE production (including carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), xylanase, and laccase) using agricultural wastes as substrate. The total collection was 50 fungi, mainly from the Polyporales, Agaricales, and Xylariales orders. During primary screening by qualitative method and secondary screening by quantitative method, two potential fungi were proposed for multiple LCE production, including Auricularia auricula-judae 088 and Pseudolagarobasidium acaciicola TDW-48. Under solid-state fermentation (SSF) using agricultural wastes as substrates, P. acaciicola TDW-48 performed as a good producer that highly secreted simultaneous CMCase, xylanase, and laccase. In the next stage, the simplex lattice mixture design assessed the interaction of agricultural waste substrates and their effects on P. acaciicola TDW-48’s enzyme production. The results indicated that agricultural waste has different influences on CMCase, xylanase, and laccase production: orange peel showed a positive effect on both CMCase and xylanase activity, but a negative effect on laccase. In contrast, wheat bran positively influenced laccase, while it limited CMCase and xylanase. However, the combination of these substrates in the mixture showed synergic effects and improved enzyme activity. Through numerical optimization, a ternary mixture of wheat bran (1.27 g), orange peel (1.53 g), and rice husk (0.2 g) was identified as the most appropriate formulation for simultaneous multiple LCE production, reaching 20.96 U/g substrate for CMCase, 23.94 U/g substrate for xylanase, and 27.55 U/g substrate for laccase. These results provided a promising candidate for LCE production with high applicability in lignocellulose bioconversion and successfully demonstrated the relationship between the agricultural waste substrate and multiple LCE production that supported the enzyme production following the environmentally friendly and economical approach.

    ;
    Xylanase has been applied in various sectors, such as biomass conversion, paper, pulp, textiles, and pharmaceutical industries. This study aimed to isolate and screen potential xylanase-producing fungi from the soil of Suphan Buri Province, Thailand. Fifteen fungi were isolated, and their xylanase activities were tested by the qualitative method. The result showed that isolate SP3, SP10 and SP15 gave high xylanase activity with potency index (PI) of 2.32, 2.01 and 1.82, respectively. These fungi were selected for the xylanase quantitative test, isolate SP10 performed the highest xylanase activity with 0.535 U/mL. Through molecular methods using the β-tubulin gene, isolate SP10 was identified as Penicillium menonorum. The xylanase characteristics from P. menonorum SP10 were determined, including the xylanase isoforms and the optimum pH and temperature. The xylanase isoforms on SDS-PAGE indicated that P. menonorum SP10 produced two xylanases (45 and 54 kDa). Moreover, its xylanase worked optimally at pH 6 and 55 °C while reaching 61% activity at 65 °C. These results proposed P. menonorum SP10 as a good candidate for industrial uses, especially in poultry feed and pulp industries, to improve yield and economic efficiency under slightly acidic and high-temperature conditions.

    (2024-01-01) ;
    Bhat, Darbhe Jayarama
    ;
    Twenty-seven coprophilous fungi, isolated from field-fed cow dung in an organic farm in Thailand, were identified using morphology and ITS barcode. A total of five genera viz. Aspergillus, Hamigera, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, and Talaromyces were identified with varying numbers and growth rates. These fungi were evaluated for their antibacterial properties against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Kocuria rhizophila, Staphylococcus aureus and St. epidermidis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. Pe. javanicum NTD-SP2- 01 and Talaromyces sp. NTD-SP5-48 exhibited activity against all bacteria when tested with agar plug diffusion method. Talaromyces sp. NTD-SP5-48 was particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria. As. terreus NTD-NG1-05 displayed the highest activity against five bacterial strains, except Ps. aeruginosa. Notably, As. terreus NTD-NG1-05 and Talaromyces sp. NTD-SP5-48 demonstrated extended antibacterial activity in the agar disk diffusion method, with fermented broth (FB) showing superior inhibitory effects compared to mycelial extract (MY). Both isolates demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against B. Subtilis. Furthermore, all isolates exhibited significant antibacterial activity against B. subtilis, with a diffusion of 0.125 mg/disk. Only Talaromyces sp. NTD-SP5-48 (FB) displayed the highest inhibition activity against Ps. aeruginosa, with a diffusion of 1 mg/disk (100 mg/mL). In terms of enzyme activity, all isolates exhibited cellulase activity, with Talaromyces sp. showing the highest cellulase activity, followed by As. terreus. Laccase activity was only observed in the unidentified isolate NTD-SP5-34, while none of the isolates showed pectinase activity.

    The result showed that 52 fragments (64.22%) were polymorphic bands from seven combinations of Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) markers. The genetic relationship was analyzed using the UPGMA method by NTSYpc software version 2.11X showed a similarity coefficient ranging from 0.59 to 0.98. Endophytic fungi were isolated from fresh leaves of Yellow Star (Schoutenia glomerata King subsp. peregrina (Craib) Roekm. & Hartono and identified by morphology and DNA barcoding. The fungi were identified in Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum siamense, Diaporthe arengae, Phyllosticta capitalensis, and Xylaria cubensis. The dual culture test evaluated the efficacy of endophytic fungi isolated from Yellow Star tree against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Phomopsis asparagi causing disease in asparagus. The results revealed that X. cubensis had the potential to inhibit the spore germination of the C. gloeosporioides ASGC06 and P. asparagi ASGP04, which inhibited spore germination of 99.97 and 100 percent, respectively. However, this fungus should be further studied for biological control and bioactive secondary metabolites.
