Tight control of intracellular uracil level is believed to be important for reducing the occurrence of uracil incorporation into DNA.In this study, we found that orotidine 5-phosphate decarboxylase, which catalyzes the conversion of orotidine monophosphate (OMP) to uridine monophosphate (UMP), is critical for maintaining uracil at a low concentration in cells in the presence of exogenous uracil in Aspergillus nidulans.Excessive exogenous uracil and its derivatives had more inhibitory effects on the growth of OMP decarboxylase mutants than the wild type, and induced sexual development in the OMP decarboxylase mutants but not the wild type.Analysis of transcriptomic responses to excessive exogenous uracil by digital gene expression profiling (DGE) revealed that genes related to sexual development were transcriptionally activated in the OMP decarboxylase mutants but not in the wild type.Quantitative analysis by HPLC showed that the cellular uracil level is 6.5 times higher than that of the wild type in the presence of exogenous uracil.In addition, we found that sorbitol, sucrose and glucose at high concentrations have an OMP decarboxylase-dependent inhibitory effect on A.nidulans growth.Therefore, this study not only provides new information on uracil recycling and the adaptation to excessive uracil but also reveals the potential effects of OMP decarboxylase on fungal growth and development.

灵芝液体深层发酵培养过程中,采用液体震荡一静置两阶段培养法不仅不会降低菌丝体生物量,而且能够有效提高灵芝菌丝体胞内总三萜的含量和产量。研究发现,在静置过程中,上层为白色菌丝体,下层为黄色菌球;而且上层菌丝体总三萜含量和产量远远高于下层菌丝体。另外在静置阶段采用培养瓶不会影响灵芝菌丝体总三萜含量,却能够大大提高上层菌丝体的生物量从而提高了上层菌丝体总三萜产量。高效液相色谱(HPLC)分析表明上层菌丝
