title: Influence of osmotic and nutritional stress on physiology of Penicillium fellutanum in removal of phosphocholine and modification of phospho-1-O-[N-peptidyl-(2-aminoethanol)] phosphodiesters of peptidophosphogalactomannan species.
abstract: Addition of 3 M NaCl to 72-h cultures of Penicillium fellutanum in 2 mM phosphate resulted in an increase in percentage of extracellular peptidophosphogalactomannan III (pP(x)GM(iii)) and a decrease in that of pP(x)GM(ii). The magnitude of (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance signals at 1.47 and 1.33 ppm of phospho-1-O-[N-peptidyl-(2-aminoethanol)] phosphodiesters pP(x)GM(ii) and pP(x)GM(iii) decreased compared with controls. The data suggest that serine, glycine, and threonine residues from the 3-kDa peptide and from galactofuranosyl-6-O-phospho-1'-O-[N-peptidyl-(2-aminoethanol)] residues were the precursors of the needed choline-derived osmolytes.
