Abstract

The research was carried out on the basis of laboratory biotechnologies of All-Russian research institute of flax (Tver region) in 2010–2012, 2016. The aim of the work was to determine the amino acid and protein composition of culture filtrates of the anthracnose pathogen fungus Colletotrichum lini Manns et Bolley in order to adjust the concentration of selective agent in the nutrient medium when creating in vitro new flax genotypes resistant to anthracnose. It was established that the culture filtrates of strains 527 and 608 contain such amino acids as alanine, glycine, asparagine, cysteine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, as well as arginine in strain 527 and traces of tyrosine and lysine in strain 608. It was established that the concentration of amino acids in EC of strain 527 was significantly higher than in culture filtrate of strain 608. It was shown that the toxicity of the culture filtrate depended on the degree of aggressiveness of the anthracnose pathogen strain – culture filtrate of a strongly aggressive strain is more toxic than the culture filtrate of a weakly aggressive strain. Studies have revealed that when cultivating the fungus-causative agent of anthracnose on a nutrient medium, as the mycelium of fungus grew, the concentrations of asparagine, alanine, aspartic and glutamic acids, and glycine decreased in the culture filtrates. It was established that the change in amount of proteins happened during the entire period of cultivation of the mycelium of fungus on a liquid nutrient medium. It is shown that accumulation and content of proteins in culture filtrates of strains of different aggressiveness occurs in different ways. The more aggressive strain is (639), which is more toxic, contains and accumulates more proteins in the culture medium during the entire period of growth and development the less aggressive strain is (419).
