Fusarium solani has drawn phytopathogenic, biotechnological, and medical interest. In humans, it is associated with localized infections, such as onychomycosis and keratomycosis, as well as invasive infections in immunocompromised patients. One pathogenicity factor of filamentous fungi is biofilm formation. There is still only scarce information about the in vitro mechanism of the formation and composition of F. solani biofilm. In this work, we describe the biofilm formed by a clinical keratomycosis isolate in terms of its development, composition and susceptibility to different antifungals and ultraviolet light (UV) at different biofilm formation stages. We found five biofilm formation stages using scanning electron microscopy: adherence, germination, hyphal development, maturation, and cell detachment. Using epifluorescence microscopy with specific fluorochromes, it was elucidated that the extracellular matrix consists of carbohydrates, proteins, and extracellular DNA. Specific inhibitors for these molecules showed significant biofilm reductions. The antifungal susceptibility against natamycin, voriconazole, caspofungin, and amphotericin B was evaluated by metabolic activity and crystal violet assay, with the F. solani biofilm preformation to 24 h increased in resistance to natamycin, voriconazole, and caspofungin, while the biofilm preformation to 48 h increased in resistance to amphotericin B. The preformed biofilm at 24 h protected and reduced UV light mortality. F. solani isolate could produce a highly structured extra biofilm; its cellular matrix consists of carbohydrate polymers, proteins, and eDNA. Biofilm confers antifungal resistance and decreases its susceptibility to UV light. The fungal biofilm functions as a survival strategy against antifungals and environmental factors.

Adsorption and Self-Assembly of Anticancer Antibiotic Doxorubicin on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Andres Rodríguez-Galvan,Oscar Amelines-Sarria,Margarita Rivera,Maria del Pilar Carreon-Castro,Vladimir A. Basiuk 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2016 NANO Vol.11 No.4
We performed a combined experimental and theoretical study of the conjugates obtained from single-walled carbon nanotubes and anticancer antibiotic doxorubicin (DOX). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging at lower magnification revealed, extended regions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTS) fully covered with DOX adsorbed molecules, along with some bare parts without the adsorbed drug, thus suggesting that the DOX adsorption is a cooperative process. Ambient atmosphere scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at higher resolutions found that individual SWNTs-DOX conjugates exhibit a periodic texture, whose most important morphological feature is alternating depressions and protrusions along the nanotube. Based on the images and profiles measured, we suggest that doxorubicin molecules self-assemble on SWNTs sidewall according to a helical pattern, in which their tetracyclic fragments are turned with respect to the nanotube axis by about 50°. To provide an additional insight into the structure of noncovalent SWNTs-DOX conjugates, we employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations with three long-range corrected functionals: M05-2X, wB97X-D and LCBLYP, of which M05-2X yielded the most realistic results in terms of geometries and energies.
