The current list of fungi from Colombia updated in the present review contains a total of 7619 species. The Ascomycota appears as the most diverse group, with 4818 species, followed by the Basidiomycota, with 2555 species. Despite this, we presume th...

Marine yeasts have versatile applications in the industrial, medical, and environmental fields. However, they have received little attention compared to terrestrial yeasts and filamentous fungi. In this study, a phylogenetic analysis of 11 marine-der...

This study evaluated the ability of a yeast strain isolated from traditional fermented tea leaves (Camellia sinensis var. assamica), Miang from northern Thailand, to grow and produce ethanol in the presence of tannin. Among 43 Miang samples, 25 yeast...

The gut microbiota is engaged in multiple interactions affecting host health, and gut dysbiosis can lead to many diseases. However, the effects of acetylcysteine (NAC) on the gut microbiome composition in pigs using metagenomic sequencing have not be...

This review discusses a few examples of specific mechanisms mediating the contribution of the GIT microbiota to the development of amyloid neurodegenerative diseases caused by the pathologic transformation of prion protein, or alpha-synuclein. The ef...

Among the oldest marine species on the planet, the genus Salinispora is often encountered inhabiting sediments and other marine creatures in tropical and subtropical marine settings. This bacterial genus produces a plethora of natural products. The p...

The use of stable isotope-labeled polymers in in situ biodegradation tests provides detailed information on the degradation process. As isotope-labeled raw chemicals are generally expensive, it is desirable to prepare polymer samples with high produc...

The current study evaluated the biogenic synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (SP-NiONPs) from the root extract of (Salvadora persica) S. persica and their biological properties. The nanoparticles were characterized using spectroscopic and mi...

Background: The human being is defined as a ‘superorganism’ since it is made up of its own cells and microorganisms that reside inside and outside the human body. Commensal microorganisms, which are even ten times more numerous than the c...

Co-infection with Pseudomonas (Pa) and Aspergillus (Af) commonly occurs in the airways of immune-compromised patients or in cystic fibrosis and frequently results in more severe outcomes than mono-infection. We affixed both pathogens to agar beads, s...
