Abstract:
Aureobasidium is omnipresent and can be isolated from air, water bodies, soil, wood, and other plant materials, as well as inorganic materials such as rocks and marble. A total of 32 species of this fungal genus have been identified at the level of DNA, of which Aureobasidium pullulans is best known. Aureobasidium is of interest for a sustainable economy because it can be used to produce a wide variety of compounds, including enzymes, polysaccharides, and biosurfactants. Moreover, it can be used to promote plant growth and protect wood and crops. To this end, Aureobasidium cells adhere to wood or plants by producing extracellular polysaccharides, thereby forming a biofilm. This biofilm provides a sustainable alternative to petrol-based coatings and toxic chemicals. This and the fact that Aureobasidium biofilms have the potential of self-repair make them a potential engineered living material avant la lettre. KEY POINTS: •Aureobasidium produces products of interest to the industry •Aureobasidium can stimulate plant growth and protect crops •Biofinish of A. pullulans is a sustainable alternative to petrol-based coatings •Aureobasidium biofilms have the potential to function as engineered living materials.
摘要:
奥氏体是无所不在的,可以从空气中分离出来,水体,土壤,木头,和其他植物材料,以及无机材料,如岩石和大理石。在DNA水平上鉴定了该真菌属的32种,其中普鲁兰梭菌是最著名的。金黄色葡萄球菌对可持续经济感兴趣,因为它可以用来生产各种各样的化合物,包括酶,多糖,和生物表面活性剂。此外,它可以用来促进植物生长,保护木材和农作物。为此,金黄色葡萄球菌细胞通过产生细胞外多糖粘附在木材或植物上,从而形成生物膜。这种生物膜为汽油基涂料和有毒化学品提供了可持续的替代品。这一点以及小孢子生物膜具有自我修复潜力的事实使其成为潜在的工程活体材料。要点:•金黄色葡萄球菌生产行业感兴趣的产品•金黄色葡萄球菌可以刺激植物生长并保护农作物•普鲁兰的生物整理剂是汽油基涂料的可持续替代品•金黄色葡萄球菌生物膜具有作为工程生活材料的潜力。
