Transcriptomic insights into the molecular mechanism of abietic acid promoting growth and branching in .

, a valuable edible and medicinal fungus, is essential for the symbiotic cultivation of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb . Abietic acid, a plant-derived secondary metabolite, modulates microbial growth and metabolism. This study investigates the effects of abietic acid on growth and branching using phenotypic analysis and transcriptomic approaches to uncover underlying molecular mechanisms.

Composition Analysis and In Vitro Investigation on Antioxidant, α-Amylase, and Pancreatic Lipase Inhibitory Activities of Major Mushrooms in Qinling Mountains.

Edible mushrooms exhibit a range of pharmacological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-obesity, and hepatoprotective effects, thereby holding significant potential for applications in the development of functional foods. This study aimed to evaluate the bioactivities of methanolic extracts from various edible mushrooms (MEMs) found in the Qinling Mountains, China, with the following species used as materials: Suillus granulatus (L.) Roussel (S.

Trichaptum biforme (Pallidohirschioporus biformis) genome decoding provides insights into carbohydrate degradation and polysaccharide synthesis.

Trichaptum biforme is a white-rot fungus that plays a key role in the process of cellulose degradation. In this study, we employed a suite of techniques to sequence the genome of T. biforme, and achieved high-quality assembly and detailed annotation.

Mechanism and improvement of yeast tolerance to biomass-derived inhibitors: A review.

Lignocellulosic biomass is regarded as a potentially valuable second-generation biorefinery feedstock. Yeast has the ability to metabolize this substrate and convert it into fuel ethanol and an array of other chemical products. Nevertheless, during the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, inhibitors (furanaldehydes, carboxylic acids, phenolic compounds, etc.

Haplotype-Phased Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of , a Typical Traditional Chinese Medicine Fungus.

This study presents the first comprehensive genomic analysis of , a classical folk medicine and newly identified macrofungus from the Qinling Mountains. Utilizing advanced sequencing technologies, including PacBio HiFi and Hi-C, we achieved a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly. The genome, sized at 39.

Structural Characterization, and Antioxidant, Hypoglycemic and Immunomodulatory Activity of Exopolysaccharide from JM-1.

Sanghuang as a medicinal fungus in China has a history of more than 2000 years, and is known as the "forest gold". Most notably, the polysaccharides of sp. have attracted widespread attention due to their significant bioactivity in recent years.

Genome-wide characterization and metabolite profiling of Cyathus olla: insights into the biosynthesis of medicinal compounds.

Cyathus olla, belonging to the genus Cyathus within the order Agaricales, is renowned for its bird's nest-like fruiting bodies and has been utilized in folk medicine. However, its genome remains poorly understood. To investigate genomic diversity within the genus Cyathus and elucidate biosynthetic pathways for medicinal compounds, we generated a high-quality genome assembly of C.

Microscopic Observations on Form and Structure of the Worm Enchytraeus buchholzi (Clitellata: Enchytraeidae).

The worm Enchytraeus buchholzi is a new record species for Shaanxi, China, and a key pest on American ginseng Panax quinquefolium. To distinguish the species, the authors prepared its whole mounts and paraffin-embedded sections, and microscopically observed, photographed and measured. Besides, we conducted an experimental study on its DNA barcode.

Streptomyces ferrugineus sp. nov., isolated from mangrove soil in Thailand.

Bacterial strain HV38(T) was isolated from mangrove soil, which was collected from Thailand. Chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics were found to be typical of members of the genus Streptomyces. The strain was found to form a distinct phyletic line in the Streptomyces 16S rRNA gene tree and to be closely associated with the type strains of Streptomyces coeruleofuscus CGMCC 4.
