Abstract in Portuguese
Este trabalho objetivou o estudo de rotas de formação de metabólitos secundários utilizando precursores isotopicamente marcados com 13C. Os experimentos de crescimento com adição de [1-13C]acetato, [1,2-13C2]acetato e [U-13C315N1]-L-cisteína para o fungo do ambiente marinho Penicillium sp. DRF2 mostrou que as ciclotiocurvularinas são provenientes da rota de formação de policetídeos e pela incorporação de L-cisteína, depois da transformação desta em 3-mercaptopiruvato. Os resultados sugerem que a formação das ciclotiocurvularinas provém de um processo de detoxificação da α,β-desidrocurvularina. O estudo do metabolismo secundário de Aspergillus sp. DLM3-8, também do ambiente marinho, mostrou que o seu perfil metabólico produzido em experimentos de crescimento sob diferentes condições é constante. Os experimentos de incorporação de precursores isotopicamente marcados com 13C na naftoquinonaimina, produzida por Aspergillus sp. DLM3-8 foram inconclusivos, indicando que outras abordagens experimentais devem ser realizadas para se investigar a biossíntese deste metabólito.

Abstract in English
This investigation aimed investigated the formation routes of secondary metabolites using 13C-labelled precursors. Feeding experiments with [1-13C]acetate, [1,2-13C2]acetate and [U-13C315N1]-L-cysteine within the growth medium of the marine-derived fungi Penicillium sp. DRF2 showed that cyclothiocurvularins are derived from polyketides and from the incorporation of a L-cysteine residue, after its transformation into 3-mercaptopyruvate. The results suggest that the formation of cyclothiocurvularins is derived from a detoxification process ofα,β-dehydrocurvularin. Investigation of the secondary metabolism of a marine-derived Aspergillus sp. DLM3-8 indicated a stable metabolic profile under a variety of growth conditions. Feeding experiments with 13C-labelled precursors for the biosynthesis investigation of naphthoquinoneimine were inconclusive, indicating that other methodologies should be envisaged in order to investigate the biosynthesis of this metabolite.
