Abstract/Contents:Presents a study conducted to test the hypothesized ability of Neotyphodium lolii to hydrolyse cell wall carbohydrates by "quantifying the expression of cell wall carbohydrate hydrolysing fungal mannosidase, cellulase and glucanase, as well as sucrose hydrolysing fungal and plant invertases in cultured Neotyphodium lolii mycelia and in ryegrass cultivars and tissues differing in their endogenous sugar content." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "a construct containing MSTN was heterologously expressed in a yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) mutant strain devoid of any monosaccharide transporters" was applied to Lolium perenne cultivars. Reports that "the monosaccharide transporter from Neotyphodium lolii complemented the sugar uptake deficiency in a yeast strain devoid of all MST's, and initial growth rate assays as well as kinetic studies indicated that MSTN has a higher affinity for mannose than for glucose." Concludes that "the apparent high affinity of MSTN for mannose and the high expression of putative endophytic cell wall hydrolases in planta present additional supportive evidence for the hypothesis of limited cell wall carbohydrate utilization in symbiotic plant-fungal associations, clearly calling for further investigations."
