In our previous study, we have ever identified and characterized a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, SclR, and found that the transcription factor is importantly involved in the conidiation, sclerotial formation, and hyphal morphology in A. oryzae. In this study, we further analyzed the effect of SclR on metabolites production in A. oryzae. The control strain and ∆sclR strain were cultivated in dextrin-polypeptone-yeast extract (DPY) liquid medium at 30 °C for 3 days and metabolites were extracted from strains. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis result showed that a total of 1,855 precursor molecules were obtained in the positive ion mode and 2,475 precursor molecules were obtained in the negative ion mode. Comparative analysis of the metabolome indicated that 259 were differentially expressed metabolites. Among of them, 161 metabolites were increased by 1.5-fold, and 98 metabolites were decreased by 1.5-fold in an sclR gene deletion strain compared to the control. Further identification of differentially expressed metabolites revealed that the production level of some organic acids, amino acids, and sugar alcohols were markedly changed in ∆sclR strain relative to control strain. Especially, some organic acids were identified to be intermediates in the citric acid cycle, which is a key metabolic pathway that connects carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. The result also implied that the SclR is potentially involved in energy metabolism.","PeriodicalId":269546,"journal":{"name":"SDRP Journal of Food Science & Technology","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134010751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the research and application of melanin in A. polytricha has been neglected for a long time. The purpose of this study was to analyse the physicochemical properties of the melanin from A. polytricha and establish a cellulase-ultrasonic synergistic extraction process of A. polytricha melanin by orthogonal array and response surface design. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), infrared spectroscopy (IR), electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) and elemental analysis were used to characterize the melanin. The stability and antioxidant activity of the melanin were also measured. The results showed that A. polytricha melanin is an eumelanin and displays a bulk amorphous morphology. The melanin had good stability in heat and light, and it also exhibited good antioxidant activity. The optimized extraction process of A. polytricha melanin was as follows: enzyme-tosubstrate ratio (E/S) of 1.4%, enzymolysis temperature of 35°C, enzymolysis pH of 4.0, enzymolysis time of 80 min, NaOH concentration of 0.68 mol/L, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:40 (g/mL), ultrasound power of 350 W, ultrasonic time of 62 min, and ultrasound temperature of 70°C.
