Fungal Diversity and Cellulytic Activity in the Historic Huts, Ross Island, Antarctica

open access: yes, 2007
The goal of this study was to undertake a microbial investigation of the Historic Huts areas on Ross Island, to gain knowledge of the fungal biodiversity and biochemical framework, focusing on the wood degrading potential of these fungi at both ...

Current ecological understanding of fungal-like pathogens of fish: what lies beneath?

open access: yes, 2014
Despite increasingly sophisticated microbiological techniques, and long after the first discovery of microbes, basic knowledge is still lacking to fully appreciate the ecological importance of microbial parasites in fish. This is likely due to the nature

Chronic alcohol consumption compromises gut barrier integrity and promotes endotoxemia: Implications for sepsis susceptibility in immunocompromised hosts

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Chronic alcohol exposure disrupts intestinal barrier integrity, resulting in a leaky gut and enhanced translocation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and microbial products into the systemic circulation. Alcohol‐induced endotoxemia drives exaggerated pro‐inflammatory responses, mitochondrial damage, and activation of the cGAS–STING pathway, particularly in ...

Selenium Nanomaterials for Wound Healing: Synergistic Strategies from Anti‐Infection to Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are emerging as multifunctional platforms for wound healing, integrating antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, and proregenerative activities. This review summarises key mechanisms and recent advances in SeNP‐enabled composite dressings, immunomodulatory nanocomposites, microenvironment‐responsive hydrogels, photothermal and ...

Two near-chromosomal-level genomes of globally-distributed Macroascomycete based on single-molecule fluorescence and Hi-C methods

open access: yesScientific Data
Discinaceae holds significant importance within the Pezizales, representing a prominent group of macroascomycetes distributed globally. However, there is a dearth of genomic studies focusing on this family, resulting in gaps in our understanding of its ...

High-throughput sequencing reveals endophytic bacterial differentiation of common truffles (Tuber spp.) in China: diversity, biogeographical patterns, and fungal health implications

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
As valuable hypogeous fungi, truffles depend on fruiting-body-associated microorganisms for lifecycle functions like growth and nutrient cycling. This study sampled fruiting bodies of 10 Tuber species from 16 sites across six major truffle-producing ...

Diversity of fungi on wild fruits in Hong Kong

open access: yes, 2003
Eighteen species of wild fruits were examined for fruit-decaying fungi in nature. Surface-sterilized and non-sterilized fruits were incubated for 1-4 weeks and the fruiting bodies were identified.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Sawdust-cow manure compost and non-sterile soil casing synergistically enhance Stropharia rugosoannulata yield: Carbon-use dynamics, enzyme activities and microbial drivers

open access: yesIndustrial Crops and Products
This study explores the utilization of agroforestry biowastes as compost substrates for edible mushroom cultivation, a practice that mitigates environmental burdens in agroecosystems. Here we performed a fully replicated, factorial experiment to quantify
