Genome sequencing of evolved aspergilli populations reveals robust genomes, transversions in A. flavus, and sexual aberrancy in non-homologous end-joining mutants [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Aspergillus spp. comprises a very diverse group of lower eukaryotes with a high relevance for industrial applications and clinical implications. These multinucleate species are often cultured for many generations in the laboratory, which can

New taxa of Neosartorya and Aspergillus in Aspergillus section Fumigati [PDF]
Three new species of Neosartorya and one new Aspergillus of section Fumigati are proposed using a polyphasic approach based on morphology, extrolite production and partial beta-tubulin, calmodulin, and actin gene sequences. The phylogenetic analyses using the three genes clearly show that the taxa grouped separately from the known species and confirmed

This review provides an in‐depth overview of the design principles and optimization strategies for terahertz (THz) metamaterials (MMs) sensors based on the dielectric perturbation theory. Various structures and methods are explored to enhance sensor performance, focusing on improving sensitivity and Q‐factor.

Abstract Gene expression profiling in Caenorhabditis elegans has been demonstrated to be a potential bioanalytical tool to detect the toxic potency of environmental contaminants. The RNA transcripts of genes responding to toxic exposure can be used as biomarkers for detecting these toxins. For routine application in environmental quality monitoring, an

Multifunctional Conductive Nanofibers for Self‐Powered Glucose Biosensors
This work develops a novel self‐powered glucose biosensor using polycaprolactone/polypyrrole/graphene oxide (PCL/PPy/GO) nanofibers integrated with a triboelectric nanogenerator. The system achieves high glucose detection sensitivity and generates 63 V from motion, combining robust mechanical strength with eco‐friendly energy harvesting.

Investigation of phytochemicals, spectral properties, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial activities of chosen Ayurvedic remedies [PDF]
This study examines the phytochemical characteristics of Ayurvedic products. An analysis was performed on Kottakkal Ayurveda Triphala (T), Kottakkal Ayurveda Hinguvachadi Churnam (H), and Kottakkal Ayurveda Jirakadyarishtam (J) using GC-MS and LC-MS techniques to determine their bioactive constituents, while also assessing their antimicrobial, docking,

RNAseq reveals hydrophobins that are involved in the adaptation of aspergillus nidulans to lignocellulose [PDF]
Background Sugarcane is one of the world’s most profitable crops. Waste steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SEB) is a cheap, abundant, and renewable lignocellulosic feedstock for the next-generation biofuels.
