Title [Antifungal cellobiose lipid secreted by the epiphytic yeast Pseudozyma graminicola].
Journal Mikrobiologiia
Abstract The yeast Pseudozyma graminicola isolated from plants inhibited growth of almost all ascomycetes and basidiomycetes tested (over 270 species of ca. 100 genera) including pathogenic species. This yeast secreted a fungicidal agent, which was identified as a glycolipid composed of cellobiose residue with two O-substituents (acetyl and 3-hydroxycaproic acid) and 2,15,16-trihydroxypalmitic acid. The release of ATP from the glycolipid-treated cells indicated that this glycolipid impaired the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane. Basidiomycetes were more sensitive to the cellobiose lipid than ascomycetes.
