ABSTRACT

The heterokaryotic and vegetative diploid phases of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum are described using nutritional and biochemical markers. Nitrate non-utilizing mutants (nit), derived from R2047, R89, R73, R65, and R23 isolates, were paired in all possible combinations to obtain heterokaryons. Although pairings R2047/R89, R2047/R73, R65/R73, and R73/R23 showed complete vegetative incompatibility, prototrophic heterokaryons were obtained from pairings R2047/R65, R2047/R23, R65/R89, R65/R23, R73/R89, R89/R23, R2047/R2047, R65/R65, R89/R89, R73/R73, and R23/R23. Heterokaryons gave rise to spontaneous mitotic segregants which carried markers corresponding to one or the other of the parental strains. Heterokaryons spontaneously produced prototrophic fast-growing sectors too, characterized as diploid segregants. Diploids would be expected to yield auxotrophic segregants following haploidization in basal medium or in the presence of benomyl. Parental haploid segregants were in fact recovered from diploid colonies growing in basal medium and basal medium containing the haploidizing agent. Although barriers to the formation of heterokaryons in some crosses were detected, the results demonstrate the occurrence of parasexuality among vegetative compatible mutants of C. lindemuthianum.

ABSTRACT

Mutations in the gene uvsH of Aspergillus nidulans result in increased spontaneous chromosome instability and increased intragenic and intergenic mitotic recombination in homozygous diploids. The aim of the present work was to obtain a uvs mutant of A. nidulans and to use it for the isolation of asexual recombinants (parameiotic segregants). The mutant uvsH, named B511, showed normal frequency of meiotic recombination in sexual crosses and high frequency of parameiotic segregants in the parasexual crossings with master strains (B511//A757 and B511//A288). Asexual haploid recombinants (parameiotic segregants), diploid and aneuploid segregants were recovered directly from the uvs//uvs+ heterokaryons (B511//A757 and B511// A288). Parameiotic segregants originated through mitotic crossing-over and independent assortment of chromosomes.

ABSTRACT

A recombinação somática em células diplóides heterozigotas pode atuar como agente promotor de neoplasias por induzir homozigose de genes deletéreos. Por meio desse processo, genes supressores de tumores podem ser completamente suprimidos em células recombinantes. O presente trabalho avaliou a genotoxicidade do detergente derivado do óleo da semente da mamona (Ricinus communis) em células diplóides heterozigotas do fungo filamentoso Aspergillus nidulans. Trabalhos anteriores avaliaram a aplicação dessa solução no tratamento de canais radiculares como líquido irrigador. O potencial recombinagênico desse composto foi estudado pela origem de células homozigotas para os marcadores nutricionais: riboA1, pabaA124, biA1, metA17 e piroA4. A solução, diluída em 1:40, 1:20 e 1:10, induziu alterações morfológicas e atraso no desenvolvimento dos conidióforos da linhagem UT448//UT196 e aumento nas freqüências de recombinação mitótica. Embora trabalhos anteriores relatem a atividade antimicrobiana da solução em estudo, nossos resultados evidenciam a citotoxicidade e o potencial recombinagênico dessa substância.

ABSTRACT

Estudou-se o potencial recombinogênico da danofloxacina, novo antimicrobiano pertencente ao grupo das 4-fluoroquinolonas e de uso exclusivo em medicina veterinária, no fungo filamentoso Aspergillus nidulans. A linhagem mestra UTl96 e o mutante Z1 foram utilizados para formar o diplóide Z1/UT196. Conídios desse diplóide foram inoculados em placas de Petri contendo meio mínimo suplementado com 2,5, 5,0 e 10,0 µg/ml de danofloxacina. As placas foram incubadas por cinco dias a 37§C. Segregantes mitóticos foram isolados das colônias tratadas com o antimicrobiano e as análises de seus fenótipos evidenciaram o efeito recombinogênico da danofloxacin na dose de 10,0 µg/ml. Recombinantes para vários intervalos dos cromossomos I e II foram identificados entre os segregantes analisados
