Structural characterization and bioactivity profiling of the fungal peptaibiotic tolypin reveal protective effects against influenza viruses

open access: yesArchiv der Pharmazie, Volume 357, Issue 10, October 2024.
Tolypin, a group of peptides isolated from the soil‐borne fungus Tolypocladium inflatum IE 1897, was characterized in detail by UHPLC‐isCID‐HR‐MS/MS. Tolypin was remarkably effective against influenza virus B replication and also showed moderate inhibition of the influenza virus A H3N2 subtype, whereas the pandemic H1N1 strain was not inhibited by ...

Pretreatment and fermentation of lignocellulose from oil palm fronds as a potential source of fibre for ruminant feed: a review

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Oil palm fronds are plantation waste widely available in large quantities and have great potential as a source of ruminant feed due to their high fibre content. However, the lignocellulose content can inhibit feed digestion. This review examines methods that can reduce the lignocellulose content and improve the nutritional quality of palm ...
