Lipids contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of fungal infectious diseases and an understanding of lipid metabolism occurring in fungal pathogens can help the development of more efficient antifungal therapeutic strategies. In this study, the effect of culture age on the distribution of fatty acids among different neutral lipid (NL) classes in the dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum was investigated. Yeast cells of the G217B strain grown in two different media were collected after 4 and 7 days of growth, which roughly correspond to log and stationary culture growth phases, respectively. Neither culture age nor medium type had any influence on qualitative fatty acid (FA) profiles; however, the FA percentage composition varied with culture growth. A culture age-related decrease in the content of unsaturated FAs could be observed in all four of the NL classes examined, but the most intensive changes were detected in diacylglycerol and free FA fractions. Conversely, an increase in saturated FAs was observed. The transcriptional analysis of two major Delta(9)- and Delta(12)-FA desaturase genes, ode1 and sde1, showed no differences in their expression levels under experimental conditions. These results showing the dynamics of changes in FA composition in the NL fraction were concomitant with nutrient exhaustion in aging H. capsulatum cultures. Overall, the results presented in this work not only have implications for our knowledge of basic lipid biochemistry of H. capsulatum, but also will contribute to better understanding of biology and pathogenesis of this fungus and, consequently, can help in the discovery of more effective antifungal drugs.
