Abstract Deep-sea sediments are now recognized as a home for rich and largely microbial community.Recently, it has been believed in an increasing number of studies that bacteria could be abundant in deepsea sediments of many types; however, fungi in deep-sea sediments remain relatively unknown. The phylogenetic diversity and bioactivity of culturable deep-sea-derived fungi from Okinawa Trough sediments were investigated in traditional method combined with fungal identification of molecular biology in this study. A total of 76 isolates belonged to 15 fungal taxa were recovered in a harsh condition oflow nutrient and low temperature, indicating that the fungal communities in deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough were relatively abundant and diversified. Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Penicillium were the dominant fungal genera, while Mycosphaerella, Purpureocillium, and Schizophyllum were relatively rare in the deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough. Among the six genera recovered, Mycosphaerella was firstly recovered from deep-sea sediments in this study. Moreover, about 75% of the extracts from the 15 fungal representative isolates displayed distinct bioactivity against at least one indicator bacterium or marine macrofouler, emphasizing the potentials of these deep-sea-derived fungi from Okinawa Trough as producers of bioactive metabolites. Notably, isolates Cladosporium oxysporum SCSIO z001 and Penicillium citrinum SCSIO z049 displayed a wide spectrum of bioactivities, isolates Cladosporium cladosporioides SCSIO z015, Cladosporium sphaerospermum SCSIO z030, and Penicillium verruculosum SCSIO z007 exhibited a strong anti-bacterial-growth activity, and isolate Penicillium chrysogenum SCSIO z062 displayed a strong anti-larval-settlement activity. These results suggest that these isolates deserved further study as potential sources of novel bioactive metabolites.

1 INTRODUCTION

Despite the absence of sunlight irradiation, deepsea environments are now recognized as highly dynamic, harboring a variety of unique organisms(Huang et al., 2020). In particular, the discovery of hydrothermal vents in deep oceans has resulted in some new concepts for considering energy sources available for sustaining life (Nagano and Nagahama,2012). Nowadays, it is very clear that the steep chemical and physical gradients at deep-sea hydrothermal vent sites support a remarkably diverse microbial community (Pettit, 2011). Raghukumar et al. (2010) reported the diverse deep-sea microorganisms could have a complex adaptive mechanism and play a very important ecological role in various deep-sea environments.

To adequately investigate the diversity and ecological functions of microbes associated with the extraordinary deep-sea environments, various culturedependent and culture-independent methods have been developed. Comparison with culture-dependent approaches, culture-independent methods can discover the entire microbial community, including that of yet-to-be cultured microbes (Hao et al., 2019;Zhang et al., 2020a). Recently, many studies reported that many novel microbial phylotypes including BCGI clade and DSF-group (Xu et al., 2014),Rozella,and KML11 clade (Lara et al., 2010) were found by cultured-independent methods. However, the culturedependent approaches remain as the method of choice to study the bioactive metabolic requirement and biochemical characteristics ofisolated fungal strains associated with the extraordinary deep-sea environments.

Searching marine-derived microorganisms with various bioactivities is always one ofimportant objectives of our ongoing investigations on marine natural products. Deep-sea-derived fungi attracted our attention since many deep-sea fungal isolates from the South China Sea (Zhang et al., 2013) and the East Indian Ocean (Zhang et al., 2014) exhibited relatively diverse bioactivities in our previous studies.The aim of the present study is to investigate the phylogenetic diversity and bioactivity of culturable deep-sea-derived fungi from Okinawa Trough. The Okinawa Trough is regarded as a back arc basin formed behind the Ryukyu Trench (Shao et al., 2015),and it contains several active hydrothermal fields,including those in Ieya North and Iheya Ridge (Zhang et al., 2015). Recently, several hydrothermal mounds with vents and diff using flows in Okinawa Trough have been widely documented (Glasby and Notsu,2003; Inagaki et al., 2004). Moreover, biodiversity of microbial communities mainly including bacteria and archaea have been investigated in the area (Nagahama et al., 2006; Yanagawa et al., 2014). However, the culturable deep-sea-derived fungal communities from Okinawa Trough and their bioactivities have been rarely reported. In this study, we investigated the phylogenetic diversity, distribution, and bioactivity(including anti-bacterial-growth, anti-bacterial biofilm forming and anti-larval-settlement) of culturable fungi in four deep-sea sediment samples from Okinawa Trough.

2 MATERIAL AND METHOD

2.1 Study sites and sampling

Four deep-sea sediment samples from Okinawa Trough were collected in April, 2014. Among them,samples A and C were collected using electro hydraulic grab with underwater television camera,and samples B and D were collected using box sampler. The sampling sites and depths of samples A–D were 126.91°E, 27.81°N, ～1 190 m; 126.98°E,27.80°N, ～1 330 m; 126.97°E, 27.55°N, ～1 387 m;126.93°E, 27.57°N, ～1 589 m; respectively (Zhang et al., 2016). Only one sample for each sampling site was collected in the Okinawa Trough cruise due to the extreme environments or weather conditions. It is the limit of this study. However, the four samples have been successfully used to investigate the bacterial diversities (Zhang et al., 2015) and cultureindependent fungal diversity (Zhang et al., 2016) to explore more deep-sea-derived microbial resources.

Distances from Samples A and B to the active hydrothermal vents in Iheya North were about 1.1 km and 6.3 km, respectively. And the distances from Samples C and D to the active hydrothermal vents in Iheya Ridge were about 0.4 km and 4.7 km,respectively (Zhang et al., 2015). The concentrations of several metal elements, including Mn, As, and other elements, in these sediment samples were determined by Zhang et al. (2015).

2.2 Fungal isolation

Cultivable fungi in the sediment samples were isolated by the particle plating technique described by Cathrine and Raghukumar (2009). Fungi were incubated on four diff erent isolation media, including mPDA, mCDA, mMEA, and mGPSA (Zhang et al.,2013), and each medium was used at 1/5 strength in order to simulate the oligotrophic condition in deepsea sediments. After incubated in the dark at 10 °C for 7–30 d, these diff erent isolates were selected and transferred on new agar plates based on the diff erences in morphological traits of the fungal colonies, mainly including growth characteristics, diff usible pigments of spores and mycelia (Wang et al., 2011). In order to perform “dereplication”, only one isolate was picked up when there were two or more isolates looked like the same taxon in morphological traits in a same agar plate. A more detailed method of fungal isolation was described in a previous study (Zhang et al., 2013).

2.3 Fungal identification

To identify the selected fungal isolates, the fungal DNA were extracted, and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences were amplified by PCR and sequenced by traditional (Sanger) sequencing method(Danielsen et al., 2012). The total genomic DNA of each selected isolate was extracted from about 1.0 g of fungal mycelia according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Pirttilä et al., 2001). After then, the fungal ITS sequence of each selected isolate was amplified with the universal primers ITS1 and ITS4 by PCR(Kim et al., 2013). A more detailed method of fungal ITS sequence amplification was described in a previous study (Zhang et al., 2013). The amplification product of ITS sequence from each selected isolate was sequenced by Invitrogen (China), and then the ITS sequence was analyzed and compared by BLASTs in GenBank to identify the selected fungal isolates at genus or species level (Song et al., 2019a).

After identified by ITS sequences, the selected fungal isolates were confirmed by morphological observation according to fungal morphological criteria by Wei (1979). Each selected fungal isolates was transferred onto a new mPDA plate (Zhang et al.,2013). After cultivated at 10 °C for 7–30 d, the morphological traits (visible examination) of the pure fungal colony, such as morphology, mycelia, and diff usible pigments, were examined by microscopy(Wang et al., 2011).

2.4 Phylogenetic and data analysis

Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS sequences from 15 fungal representatives (15 diff erent fungal species)isolated in this study was performed by software MEGA 5.0 (Tamura et al., 2011; Tejesvi et al., 2011).The dissimilarity of fungal community in samples A,B, C, and D were estimated by Bray-Curtis analysis using SPSS for Window Soft (Version 11.5) (Toledo-Hernández et al., 2008). Fungal ITS sequences of the 15 representative (15 diff erent fungal species) isolates were deposited in GenBank under accession numbers KX258798–KX258812.

2.5 Fermentation and extraction

To obtain more diverse metabolites from the fungal isolates, two diff erent media were applied for fermentation. Each selected fungal isolate was inoculated in 500-mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 150 mL of Medium A (glucose 0.2%, maltose 0.4%,mannitol 0.4%, monosodium glutamate 0.2%, KH2PO40.05%, MgSO4·7H2O 0.003%, corn steep liquor 0.01%, yeast extract 0.06%, and sea salt 3%) or Medium B (glucose 0.4%, potato 4%, and sea salt 3%)(Nong et al., 2013), and then cultivated on a rotary shaker at 200 r/min and 15 °C for 10 d. About 150 mL of fungal culture broths were filtered to separate the fungal mycelia and broth supernatant. The broth supernatant and mycelia from each representative isolate were extracted with ethyl acetate and 80%acetone, respectively. More detailed information of extraction was described by Zhang et al. (2019). Thirty crude extracts were obtained from the 15 representative isolates cultured in Media A and B.

2.6 Determination of anti-bacterial-growth activity

As an initial screening method, the anti-bacterialgrowth activity of the 30 extracts were determined against a larval settlement-inducing bacteriumMicrococcusluteusUST950701-006 (ML-006) (Qi et al., 2009) and a biofilm-forming bacteriumShewanellaonedensisMR-1 (SO-MR-1) (Thormann et al., 2004)using the standard paper-disk-diff usion technique(D’Souza et al., 2010). After impregnated with 50 μg of tested extracts (in ethyl acetate), the disks (6 mm in diameter) were placed on the agar plate containing indicator bacteria. After incubated for 1 d at 30 °C,the diameter of the bacterial growth inhibition zone was determined as the anti-bacterial-growth activity of the crude extracts. The test bacteria ML-006 and SO-MR-1were inoculated on PY (peptone 0.5%,yeast extract 0.3%, sea salt 3%) agar medium.Detailed method of detecting anti-bacterial-growth activity was described by Dash et al. (2009).

After determined the diameter of the bacterial growth inhibition zone, the extracts with strong antibacterial-growth activity were further evaluated for the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) by the microtitre plate assay (Sarker et al., 2007; Zeng et al.,2008). Briefly, the indicator bacterium was cultivated in PY medium for 12 h (150 r/min, 30 °C), and adjusted to an optical density 0.6 at 560 nm with PY medium as indicator bacterial suspension. About 1 μL ofindicator bacterial suspension and 0.5 μL of selected active extracts (in dimethyl sulfoxide) were transferred to each well (consisting of 100-μL PY medium) of 96-well polystyrene microtitre plates (the final concentrations of the extracts were 50, 25, 12.5,6.2, 3.1, and 1.6 μg/mL) and incubated at 30 °C for 24 h. Streptomycin sulfate was selected as the positive control. A more detailed method of MIC determination was described by Zhang et al. (2019).

2.7 Anti-bacterial biofilm formation assay

Anti-bacterial biofilm formation activity of all the extracts was evaluated using the standard sterile 24-well polystyrene plates (Burmølle et al., 2006). The indicator bacterium for biofilm formation is SO-MR-1(Thormann et al., 2004). Briefly, 149 μL of sterilized water, 1 μL of concentrated extract solution (10 mg/mL with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) and 50 μL of bacterial inoculums were added into one well of the sterile 24-well polystyrene plates (the final concentration of the tested extract was 50 μg/mL).After the allotted incubation period (at 30 °C for 2 d),the plate with the biofilm was rinsed with phosphate buff er saline (pH 7.2) and stained with crystal violet(Burmølle et al., 2006). The inhibiting eff ects of the extracts on biofilm forming were evaluated as the ratio of the absorbance (at 600 nm) of attached cells to that of planktonic cells (O’Toole and Kolter, 1998).More detailed information of anti-bacterial biofilm formation assay was described by Dash et al. (2009).

2.8 Anti-larval-settlement assay

The direct anti-larval-settlement activity of the fungal extracts was tested using the marine macrofoulers bryozoanBugulaneritinaand barnacleBalanusamphitrite. Colonies ofB.neritinaandB.amphitritewere collected from Daya Bay(114.54°E, 22.67°N), Shenzhen, China. After exposed to sunlight for about 30 min, the larvae ofB.neritinawere released by adult colonies and collected to test(Bryan et al., 1998). The larvae ofB.amphitritewas raised to competence according to Thiyagarajan et al.(2003).

The anti-larval-settlement activities of 30 extracts againstB.neritinaandB.amphitritewere evaluated using 24-well polystyrene plates (Zhang et al., 2019).Briefly, 999 μL of filtered sea water, 1 μL of concentrated extract solution (10 mg/mL with DMSO)and 20 competent larvae were transferred into each well of the sterile 24-well polystyrene plates (the final concentration of the tested extract was 50 μg/mL).After incubated at 25 °C for 1 h forB.neritinaand 2 d forB.amphitrite, the anti-larval-settlement eff ects of each test extract was determined by examining the settled ratio of the larvae. More detailed information of anti-larval-settlement assay was described in a previous study by Zhang et al. (2019).

After screened for anti-larval settlement activity,these extracts with strong activity were further examined their EC50and LC50values of anti-larval settlement activity againstB.neritinaandB.amphitrite. All selected extracts were diluted to a series of concentrations (50, 25, 12.5, 6.2, 3.1, and 1.6 μg/mL) with filtered seawater and further determined their anti-larval settlement activity as described by a previous study (Zhang et al., 2019).The calculation of EC50and LC50of anti-larval settlement activity of each selected extract was described by Xu et al. (2010).

3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

3.1 Fungal isolation and phylogenetic diversity in deep-sea sediments

Seventy-six fungal isolates were recovered from the four diff erent deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough. All the 76 isolates were identified by ITS sequencing, and the ITS sequences of the 76 isolates were BLAST searched in GenBank. The results showed that almost all ofisolates shared 99%–100%sequence similarities with known fungal strains in GenBank. After confirmed by fungal morphological observation (data not shown), the 76 identified isolates were assigned to 15 fungal taxa of six fungal genera includingAspergillus,Cladosporium,Mycosphaerella,Penicillium,Purpureocillium, andSchizophyllum(Table 1 and Fig.1), suggesting there were abundant and diverse fungi in deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough. There was some evidence that many marine fungal species could be accumulated in deep-sea sediments (Shang et al.,2012). In a previous study, Damare and Raghukumar(2008) reported that fungal biomass carbon in deepsea sediments could be evaluated by detecting and calculating the length and width of fungal mycelia using a calibrated ocular micrometer, which provided a directed evidence that fungi could be abundantly found in deep-sea sediments and played a very important ecological role in aggregate formation of deep-sea sediments.

Among the six genera,Penicillium,Cladosporium,andAspergilluswere the most abundant and diverse fungal genera in the four diff erent deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough. Many species belonged to the three genera are now considered widespread in marine environments (Pang et al., 2016), such as coral reefs (Zhang et al., 2019), mangrove ecosystem(Vanegas et al., 2019) and deep-sea sediments (Zhang et al., 2016). The remaining three genera, includingMycosphaerella,PurpureocilliumandSchizophyllum,were relatively rare in the deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough.Mycosphaerellafrequently found in soils or plants is known as one of the largest genera of plant pathogen fungi (Zhan et al., 2003). However,it is a new record for deep-sea-derived fungi in this study.Purpureocilliumwere frequently found in marine corals, sponges, and plants from shallow seawater (Yu et al., 2013). As marine original fungi,Schizophyllumspp. were frequently found in sea grass and algae (Poli et al., 2018), and might play a critical role in degrading hemicelluloses. All the fungal taxa recovered in this study were belonged to phylum Ascomycota and Basidiomycota (Fig.1),indicating the both fungal phyla were the dominant fungal community in the deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough. This result was in agreement with previous reports on fungal diversity of deep-sea environments from Lau Basin (Burgaud et al., 2009),East Pacific Rise, and Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Le Calvez et al., 2009).

Fig.1 Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree from analysis of the ITS sequences of culturable fungi isolated from deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough

The fungal taxa isolated by culture-dependent in this study approach were much less than those were recovered by a high-throughput Illumina sequencing in an our previous study, which revealed that about 176 fungal taxa were recovered from the sediments(Zhang et al., 2016). The main reasons might be that most of deep-sea-derived fungi were hardly isolated and cultured using a culture-dependent approach. By further comparison with fungal community recovered by high-throughput Illumina sequencing (Zhang et al., 2016), several fungal taxa isolated in this study,such asMycosphaerellasp. andPenicilliumlilacinum,were not recovered by high-throughput Illumina sequencing, suggesting the greater fungal diversity could be recovered by combining the high-throughput sequencing technology with a traditional culturedependent approach.

3.2 Distribution and comparison of fungal community

Most fungal taxa were distributed in one or two sediment samples, whileC.oxysporumandPenicilliumcitrinumcould were recovered from all the four sediment samples (Table 1), indicating the two fungal taxa were widely distributed in the deepsea sediments from Okinawa Trough. The Bray-Curtis analysis showed 44.3%–89.2% dissimilarity of fungal communities (Table 2), indicating the diversities and distributions of fungal communities varied according to the diff erent sites. As an eff ective analysis method for multivariate ecological data (Beals, 1984), Bray-Curtis dissimilarity could widely applied in the comparison of microbial community in sediments(Liu et al., 2018), fish eggs and larvae in the Huanghe(Yellow) River estuary, China (Song et al., 2019b)and intertidal macrobenthos in the Naf River estuary,Bangladesh (Noman et al., 2019).

Further comparison analysis showed the numbers of fungal isolates and taxa recovered from samples B and D were relatively higher than that from Samples A and C (Table 1), suggesting that the distance from hydrothermal vents might play an important role in restructuring fungal community in deep sea sediments.Furthermore, the numbers of species and isolates ofgenusPencillium(recognized as Mn-oxidizing fungi)in Samples B and D were relatively higher than that in Samples A and C. In a previous study, the concentration of Mn in Samples B and D was obviously higher than that in Samples A and C (Zhang et al., 2015). Our results in this study suggest that the metal elements might play an important role in constructing the fungal community in the deep-sea sediments.

3.3 Bioactivity of deep-sea-derived fungi from Okinawa Trough

Recently, deep-sea-derived fungi have gradually become an important resource for bioactive compounds (Chen et al., 2020; Han et al., 2020; Pang et al., 2020). However, systematic bioactive investigations were rarely reported. In this study, 30 extracts of 15 fungal representative isolates fromdeep-sea sediments in Okinawa Trough were screened for anti-bacterial-growth, anti-bacterial biofilm forming and anti-larval-settlement activities. About 75% of the extracts displayed distinct bioactivity,emphasizing the potentials of the deep-sea fungi from Okinawa Trough as producers of bioactive metabolites(Table 3).

Table 3 Bioactivity of the metabolites from 15 representative isolates fermented in two media (Medium A/Medium B)

Notably,P.citrinumSCSIO z049 displayed a strong and wide range ofinhibit activity against all tested indicator bacteria and marine macrofoulers(Tables 3 & 4). In addition,PenicilliumverruculosumSCSIO z007 exhibited a strong anti-bacterial-growth activity against SO-MR-1 with the MIC value of 15.6 μg/mL, whilePenicilliumchrysogenumSCSIO z062 displayed a strong anti-larval-settlement activity againstB.amphitriteandB.neritinawith the EC50value of 11.6–12.8 μg/mL (Table 4). These results suggest that deep-sea-derivedPenicilliumspp. from Okinawa Trough might produce a large number of various compounds with a wide range of biological activities. In recent studies, many novel compounds with anti-bacterial activity were isolated from the metabolites produced byPenicilliumstrains (Hou et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2020b). For examples, two novel compounds penicilone H and penicipyrrodiether A, isolated fromPenicilliumjanthinellumHK1-6 andPenicilliumsp. ZZ380, displayed a very strong antibacterial activity against several Gram-positive indicator bacteria (Song et al., 2018; Chen et al., 2019). Known as an antimicrobial extrolite producer,P.verruculosumhad 11 447 predicted protein-coding genes, of which 225 were polysaccharide degrading enzymes (Hu et al., 2016).

Table 4 MICs, EC 50 s, and LC 50 s of anti-bacterial-growth and anti-larval-settlement activities of the metabolites from 15 representative isolates fermented in two media (Medium A/Medium B)

In addition,Penicillium,Cladosporiumisolates recovered in this study also exhibited a wide spectrum of bioactivities. Especially,C.oxysporumSCSIO z001 displayed distinct inhibit activity against all tested indicator bacteria and marine macrofoulers(Tables 3 & 4). In addition,C.cladosporioidesSCSIO z015 andC.sphaerospermumSCSIO z030 exhibited a strong anti-bacterial-growth activity with a MIC value of 8.9–11.2 μg/mL against SO-MR-1 (Table 4).Meanwhile,C.cladosporioidesSCSIO z015 displayed a strong anti-bacterial biofilm forming activity against SO-MR-1. Recently, an increasing number of novel active compounds were found in the metabolites from marine-derivedCladosporiumisolates. For examples, Li et al. (2017) isolated four novel cladosporol derivatives, cladosporols F–I from marine fungusC.cladosporioidesEN-399, and found the four compounds displayed distinct antibacterial activity against three indicator bacteria. It was reported that a marine fungusCladosporiumsp. F14 could produce various kinds of compounds with antibacterial biofilm forming activity (Qi et al., 2009).

Literature surveys showed that genusAspergilluswas characterized by its worldwide and frequent distribution, and its species were known to generate a very wide spectrum of bioactivities, such as antibacterial-growth (Li et al., 2019; Song et al., 2019c),anti-bacterial biofilm forming acticity (Loges et al.,2020), and antifouling activity (Nong et al., 2015).However, threeAspergillusisolates exhibited only anti-bacterial-growth or anti-larval-settlement activities in this study (Table 3). One of the main reasons might be that diff erent cultivation methods,including media compositions, culture vessel, and culture time, could aff ect fungal strains’ producing secondary metabolites. Recently, one strain many compounds (OSMAC) approach was widely applied in finding diverse microbial metabolites (Hewage et al., 2014; Romano et al., 2018). Bovio et al. (2019)systematic investigated the sponge fungal biodiversity and chemodiversity by OSMAC approach and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and found the sponge-associated fungal isolate fungusEurotiumchevalieriMUT 2316 displayed an astonishing metabolic diversity and promising bioactivity against some Gram-positive bacteria.

4 CONCLUSION

Seventy-six isolates belonging to 15 fungal taxa were revealed from a relatively abundant and diverse fungal community in the deep-sea sediments form Okinawa Trough.Aspergillus,Cladosporium, andPenicilliumwere the dominant fungal genera, whileMycosphaerella,Purpureocillium, andSchizophyllumwere relatively rare in the deep-sea sediments from Okinawa Trough. Moreover, about 75% of the extracts from the 15 fungal representative isolates displayed distinct bioactivities, including anti-bacterial-growth,anti-bacterial biofilm forming and anti-larvalsettlement activities.CladosporiumandPenicilliumisolates displayed a relatively strong and wide spectrum of bioactivities against all the test indicator bacteria and marine macrofoulers, while other fungal isolates exhibited only anti-bacterial-growth or antilarval-settlement activities.
