    Abstract Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted reproductive tract pathogen of men and women. M. genitalium infections are increasingly difficult to treat due to poor efficacy of doxycycline and acquired resistance to azithromycin and moxifloxacin. A recent clinical trial suggested that metronidazole may improve cure rates for women with pelvic inflammatory disease and reduced the detection of M. genitalium when included with standard doxycycline plus ceftriaxone treatment. As data regarding susceptibility of mycoplasmas to nitroimidazoles are lacking in the scientific literature, we determined the

    Abstract Fusapyrones are fungal metabolites, which have been reported to have broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal properties. Despite the first members of this chemical class being described three decades prior, many aspects of their structures have remained unresolved, thereby constraining efforts to fully understand structure-activity relationships within this metabolite family and impeding the design of streamlined syntheses. Among the main challenges posed by fusapyrones is the incorporation of several single and groups of stereocenters separated by atoms with freely rotating bonds, which have proven unyielding to spectroscopic analyses. In this study, we obtained a series of new (

    Abstract Aspergillus flavus is an agriculturally significant micro-fungus having potential to contaminate food and feed crops with toxic secondary metabolites such as aflatoxin (AF) and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). Research has shown A. flavus strains can overcome heterokaryon incompatibility and undergo meiotic recombination as teleomorphs. Although evidence of recombination in the AF gene cluster has been reported, the impacts of recombination on genotype and metabolomic phenotype in a single generation are lacking. In previous studies, we paired an aflatoxigenic MAT1-1 A. flavus strain with a non-aflatoxigenic MAT1-2 A. flavus strain that had been tagged with green fluorescent protein and then 10 F1 progenies (a mix of fluorescent and non-fluorescent) were randomly selected from single-ascospore colonies and broadly examined for evidence of recombination. In this study, we determined four of those 10 F1 progenies were recombinants because they were not vegetatively compatible with either parent or their siblings, and they exhibited other distinctive traits that could only result from meiotic recombination. The other six progenies examined shared genomic identity with the non-aflatoxigenic, fluorescent, and MAT1-2 parent, but were metabolically distinct. This study highlights phenotypic and genomic changes that may occur in a single generation from the outcrossing of sexually compatible strains of A. flavus.

    Abstract The success of natural product-based drug discovery is predicated on having chemical collections that offer broad coverage of metabolite diversity. We propose a simple set of tools combining genetic barcoding and metabolomics to help investigators build natural product libraries aimed at achieving predetermined levels of chemical coverage. It was found that such tools aided in identifying overlooked pockets of chemical diversity within taxa, which could be useful for refocusing collection strategies. We have used fungal isolates identified as

    Abstract There is an unmet need for effective therapies for treating diseases associated with the intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia. In this study, a library of chemically validated purified natural products and fungal extracts was screened for chemical scaffolds that can inhibit the growth of G. lamblia. The phenotypic screen led to the identification of several previously unreported classes of natural product inhibitors that block the growth of G. lamblia. Hits from phenotypic screens of these naturally derived compounds are likely to possess a variety of mechanisms of action not associated with clinically used nitroimidazole and thiazolide compounds. They may therefore be effective against current drug-resistant parasite strains.
