Abstract:

A marine-derived Aspergillus terreus strain C23-3 featuring of producing butyrolactone I was used as the starting strain to screen out chemically regulative cultural conditions under which abundant secondary metabolites can be produced. The strain was cultured on 24-well plates under chemically regulative conditions established by two types of basic media supplied with 9 small molecule compounds respectively. Based on the changes of mycelial morphology and the thin layer chromatography bioautography,the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and the MS based molecular networking were used to further analyze the yield and diversity of secondary metabolites. Four chemical inducing conditions,e.g.,brown rice medium supplied with(E,E)-farnesol(1 µmol/L),farnesyl pyrophosphate ammonium salt(5 μmol/L),menadione sodium bisulfite(10 µmol/L),or 3-amino-l-tyrosine(1 mmol/L)induced remarkable changes of secondary metabolites,especially with prominent diversity and yield of butyrolactones,territrems and lovastatin derivatives. The secondary metabolites of strain C23-3 have changed to different extents after chemical regulation,which provides a basis for the discovery of active compounds.
