Fungal phytotoxins used as ecofriendly bioherbicides are becoming efficient alternatives to chemical herbicides for sustainable weed management. Previous study found that cultures of the pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides BWH-1 showed phytotoxic activity. This study further isolated the major phytotoxin from cultures of the strain BWH-1 using bioactivity-guided isolation, by puncturing its host plant for an activity test and analyzing on the HPLC-DAD-3D mode for a purity check. Then, the active and pure phytotoxin was characterized as a dirhamnolipid (Rha-Rha-C10-C10) using the NMR, ESIMS, IR and UV methods. The herbicidal activity of dirhamnolipid was evaluated by the inhibition rate on the primary root length and the fresh plant weight of nine test plants, and the synergistic effect when combining with commercial herbicides. Dirhamnolipid exhibited broad herbicidal activity against eight weed species with IC50 values ranging from 28.91 to 217.71 mg L−1 and no toxicity on Oryza sativa, and the herbicidal activity could be synergistically improved combining dirhamnolipid with commercial herbicides. Thus, dirhamnolipid that originated from C. gloeosporioides BWH-1 displayed the potential to be used as a bioherbicide alone, or as an adjuvant added into commercial herbicides, leading to a decrease in herbicides concentration and increased control efficiency.

Abstract Deoxynivalenol (DON) obtained from 2 commercial sources was characterized, and its purity was determined. The structural identity of DON was confirmed by 1 Hand 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gas chromatography with mass spectrometric (GC/MS) detection, and infrared/attenuated total reflectance (IR/ATR) spectroscopy. NMR spectra showed shifts that varied from previously published data. However, we established a complete, unambiguous assignment for all signals. Chromatograms obtained by GC/MS were almost identical for both investigated samples and confirmed the structure of DON. Likewise, IR/ATR spectra verified the identity of DON. The degree of purity was determined by liquid chromatography (LC) with a variable wavelength detector, LC/MS/MS, GC with electron-capture detection (GC-ECD), and ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry. The purity check using LC showed a single peak in both chromatograms. With LC/MS/MS measurements, we could detect small amounts of impurities in the crystalline DON from both sources. In data obtained by GC-ECD, no differences in purity were observed. The UV measurements showed an absorption maximum at 217 nm. The mean εm of the extinction coefficients was calculated as 6727 (L/cm/mol) for DON (Sigma) and 6825 (L/cm/mol) for DON (Biopure). Finally, the purity of DON from the 2 commercial sources was calculated as >96 and >98%, respectively. Although the DON produced by both providers can be considered sufficiently pure for routine analysis of trichothecenes in food and feed, this work again demonstrated that the impurity of the solid mycotoxin constitutes the greatest contribution to the overall uncertainty of a mycotoxin calibrant.
