Tar spot is a prevalent fungal disease characterized by shiny black spots on the leaves, stems, and fruits of various plants. It is typically caused by members of the family Phyllachoraceae, which consists of biotrophic and obligate plant parasitic f...
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a globally important energy and food crop that is becoming increasingly integral to food security and the environment. However, its production is significantly hampered by various fungal phytopathogens that affect its...
Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, the fungus causing Snake Fungal Disease (SFD) or ophidiomycosis, is prevalent in North American snakes and can have deleterious population effects. Northern pine snakes (Pituophis melanoleucus melanoleucus) in New Jersey oft...
Helvella leucopus, an endangered wild edible fungus, is renowned for its distinct health benefits and nutritional profile, with notable differences in the bioactive and nutritional properties between its cap and stipe. To investigate the molecular ba...
Candidemia is associated with high mortality in critically ill patients. Early diagnosis of candidemia is imperative for starting treatment. Therefore, this study was designed to externally validate the candidemia risk prediction scores. This single-...
Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is a world-renowned nut crop that is highly favored by consumers for its high content of healthy nutrients. For a long time, anthracnose has severely threatened the yield and quality of pecan, causing significant economic...
Beauveria bassiana PfBb is a new strain with high host specificity to the target pest Phauda flammans. We conducted a series of experiments to optimize the biphasic fermentation system of B. bassiana PfBb by screening the medium compositions and ferm...
Because the apices of the lungs are most commonly involved in chronic cavitary histoplasmosis (CCPH), it has been assumed by many to have a pathogenesis which is similar to post-primary tuberculosis. Fungi such as Aspergillus may colonize pulmonary b...
Agaricus bisporus, a globally cultivated edible fungus, faces significant challenges from fungal diseases like cobweb disease caused by Cladobotryum mycophilum, which severely impacts yield. This study aimed to explore the genetic basis of disea...
Monacolin K (MK), a secondary metabolite produced by Monascus spp. with the ability to inhibit cholesterol production, is structurally identical to lovastatin produced by Aspergillus terreus. In the lovastatin biosynthetic pathway, the polyketide syn...
