Impact of ecophysiological factors on biocontrol of aflatoxin contamination of maize by atoxigenic aspergillus flavus strains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study has (a) evaluated the biodiversity in toxigenic mycobiota associated with maize from subsistence farmers’ stores in five climatic regions of Lesotho in two seasons, (b) compared the effect of ecophysiological factors on interactions between ...

Aspergillus section Flavi and aflatoxins in Algerian wheat and derived products [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Wheat and its derivatives are a very important staple food for North African populations. The aim of this study was to analyze populations of Aspergillus section Flavi from local wheat based on aflatoxins (AFs),cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and sclerotia ...

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

Impact of environmental and plant factors on Aspergillus section Flavi isolated from maize in Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The exceptional hot weather conditions in Italy during the summer of 2003 resulted in an optimal environment for the development of Aspergillus section Flavi in maize and, consequently, for aflatoxin production.

Large language models unlock large text corpora in the search for data on medicinal plants and fungi

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Millions of people worldwide depend on plants and fungi for their healthcare needs, yet our understanding of which species are used medicinally—and how—remains fragmented and incomplete. As part of Kew's Plants for Health service, we developed a pipeline to mine large text corpora for information on natural products, initially focusing on the medicinal

Machine learning‐driven advances in carbon‐based quantum dots: Opportunities accompanied by challenges

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning provides a unifying framework to connect structure, fluorescence properties, and applications of carbon‐based quantum dots. This review highlights how data‐driven strategies enable fluorescence regulation, reveal underlying mechanisms, and accelerate the rational design of functional carbon dots.

Biodiversity of mycotoxigenic aspergillus species in Egyptian peanuts and strategies for minimizing aflatoxin contamination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Peanuts are an important crop grown in Egypt for either local consumption or export to European markets. The present study examined the importance of mycotoxigenic Aspergilli in Egyptian peanuts from five different regions (Alexandria, El-Beheira, El-

Pyrene‐linked heterocyclic pyrazoles: Synthesis, antimicrobial screening, and in silico molecular insights

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
A series of novel pyrene‐linked heterocyclic pyrazoles were synthesized and structurally characterized. The compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against selected bacterial and fungal strains, showing promising inhibitory effects. Molecular docking studies provided insights into binding interactions and structure–activity relationships ...

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.
