It is well established that root exudates play a crucial role in shaping the assembly of plant rhizosphere microbial communities. Nonetheless, our understanding of how different types of exudates influence the abundance of potential pathogens in soil...

Penicillium griseofulvum CF3 is a fungus isolated from healthy strawberry soil, with the potential to promote the growth of plants and enhance their resistance to diseases. However, the genome sequence of P. griseofulvum CF3 remains unclear. Therefor...

Candidemia infection remains a critical challenge in intensive care units (ICUs), with high morbidity and mortality rates despite advances in therapeutic practices. This multicenter prospective surveillance study assessed the epidemiology, clinical m...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a fungal pathogen that is spread worldwide and causes serious diseases on crops, can be parasitized specifically by the mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans. SsNEP2, encoding a necrosis-inducing protein in S. sclerotiorum, was...

A simple and robust two-dimensional chromatographic fractionation protocol for the isolation of the neuroprotective compound erinacine A from Hericium erinaceus is proposed. This production platform yielded 19.4 mg of erinacine A from approximately 1...

Background: 1, 3-ß-D-Glucan (BDG) is an antigen present in the cell wall of many pathogenic fungi and is used as a marker for the early diagnosis of candidemia and discontinuation of empirical treatment. Changes in the epidemiology of Candida s...

The diversity of foliar fungal endophyte communities was examined in three economically and ecologically important pine species in Scotland: Scots pine, Corsican pine and lodgepole pine. Two plantation sites comprising all three species were selected...

There is an increasing interest in yeasts isolated from natural sources to be used as probiotics. Saccharomyces-based probiotics have been proposed as a valid alternative to the conventional drug therapy for the prevention and treatment of vulvovagin...

Mangrove ecosystems are valuable coastal ecosystems; however, studies on the diversity and functional features of their soil fungal communities during restoration are limited. In this study, we examined fungal diversity and trophic modes across mudfl...

The study of the intersection between biodiversity and biotechnology has revealed a rich source of innovations. Fungi, with their vast range of morphologies and lifestyles, thrive in various habitats, including caves. With impressive metabolic charac...
