Late Quaternary climate change explains soil fungal community composition rather than fungal richness in forest ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
The dramatic climate fluctuations of the late Quaternary have influenced the diversity and composition of macroorganism communities, but how they structure belowground microbial communities is less well known.

Multifunctional Properties of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Insecticidal Effects

open access: yesFlavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Unveiling the potential of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) essential oil. ABSTRACT This study investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and insecticidal properties of wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens L.) essential oil (GPEO). The EO was chemically characterized by GC–MS, confirming methyl salicylate as the predominant compound (99.3%).

Enhancing the nutritional profile of de‐oiled rice bran through solid‐state fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract An experiment was conducted to explore the impact of fermenting de‐oiled rice bran (DORB) with Aspergillus oryzae on its nutrient composition and anti‐nutritional factors. DORB was inoculated with 7‐day‐old A. oryzae culture grown on potato dextrose agar. The experiment was conducted in triplicate for 120 h, with samples collected at 0, 24, 48,

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Fungal succession on senescent leaves of Manglietia garrettii in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, northern Thailand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Twenty-two fungal taxa were identified on decaying senescent leaf baits of Manglietia garrettii during a 56 day study. Most of the taxa were the same as those occurring on naturally decaying leaves in the same forest area collected at the same time ...

Phytochemical profiling and bioactivity evaluation of Anthocephalus cadamba flower extracts through in vitro, and in silico studies

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthocephalus cadamba (Kadamba) is a medicinally important tropical plant with well‐documented antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. However, comparative evaluation of solvent extraction efficiency combined with computational validation of bioactive compounds remains limited.
