Article Abstract

The present study aimed to isolate a bioflocculating fungal strain from wastewater collected from a local bike garage. The isolate showed maximum similarity to species The fungus was identified as species (accession no OP703382). The isolated fungus was evaluated in terms of biomass recovery efficiency in Sp. GTAF01. The extent of algal fungal co-pelletization was evaluated as a function of the algae-to-fungi ratio, volume of fungal culture in broth, agitation rate, and pH. results showed that at fungal culture volume of 60 %v/v, fungal culture volume of 1:3 %w/w, 100 rpm, and pH 3, 93.6 % biomass was obtained during the initial 5 h. At wavenumbers 1384 and 1024 cm a significant alteration in the transmission percentage was observed in co-pellet compared to algae and fungal cells. This shows the significant role of C-H-H and C-N stretches in co-pellet formation. This study provides deep insight into effective microalgal harvesting along with the simultaneous extraction of lipids that can be used for the sustainable production of biodiesel.

Fatty acid synthase in high and low lipid-producing strains of Mucor circinelloides: identification, phylogenetic analysis, and expression profiling during growth and lipid accumulation.

Biotechnol Lett

September 2025

Shandong Provincial Engineering Research Center for Precision Nutrition and Healthy Elderly Care, Qilu Medical University, 1678 Renmin West Road, Zibo, 255300, People's Republic of China.

Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is one of the most important enzymes in lipid biosynthesis, which can catalyze the reaction of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to produce fatty acids. However, the structure, function, and molecular mechanism of FAS regulating lipid synthesis in the fungus Mucor circinelloides are unclear. In the present study, two encoding fas genes in the high lipid-producing strain WJ11 and low lipid-producing strain CBS277.

Sweet potato foot rot disease caused by Diaporthe destruens (formerly Plenodomus destruens) severely affects the yield and quality of sweet potatoes. To gain basic knowledge on regulating the pathogen using indigenous soil bacteria, the following organic materials were applied to potted soils collected from a sweet potato field contaminated with D. destruens: Kuroihitomi (compost made from shochu waste and chicken manure), Soil-fine (material made by adsorbing shochu waste on rice bran), and rice bran.

Microbial consortia, involving two or more microorganisms, have been explored for pest management purposes, despite concerns regarding competitive exclusion among entomopathogenic fungi that may undermine synergistic effects. However, the precise molecular mechanisms governing entomopathogen competition in vivo remain inadequately elucidated. Here, we investigate competitive exclusion dynamics between two prominent entomopathogens, Metarhizium robertsii and Beauveria bassiana.

A strain of mycovirus AaVV1 mediates hypovirulence of Alternaria species.

Pestic Biochem Physiol

November 2025

Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory for Biology and Control of Plant Diseases and Insect Pests, Hunan Agricultural University, Nongda Road 1, Furong District, Changsha City, Hunan Province 410128, PR China. Electronic address:

The genus Alternaria comprises a wide range of ubiquitous plant pathogens that affect various host plants. Certain mycoviruses can induce changes in the biological characteristics and virulence of host fungi, offering potential for biocontrol in managing fungal plant diseases. Here, we identified a mycovirus with a high degree of homology to Alternaria arborescens victorivirus 1 (AaVV1), which was previously reported from Alternaria arborescens, in the QRH strain of the heterologous host Alternaria gomphrenae.

Urban green areas are vital yet underexplored reservoirs of microbial diversity in cities. This study examines myxomycete communities in Zijin Mountain National Forest Park, a subtropical urban forest in Nanjing, China, across four seasons and multiple forest types. Combining field collections and moist chamber cultures, we documented 60 species from 906 occurrence records.
