Diversity of endophytic fungi in Glycine max

Microbiological Research, 2015
Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that live within plant tissues without causing disease during part of their life cycle. With the isolation and identification of these fungi, new species are being discovered, and ecological relationships with their hosts have also been studied.

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Commercial Product Based on Metarhizium Anisopliae Affects Survival, Midgut Morphology, and Behavior in the Stingless Bee Scaptotrigona depilis (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazilian social stingless bees are important pollinators and producers of honey, wax, royal jelly, propolis, and other products. These species are experiencing a population decline, attributed to different factors, such as the excessive use of pesticides.

Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]

, 2009
An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.
