Comparison and validation of some ITS primer pairs useful for fungal metabarcoding studies.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Current metabarcoding studies aiming to characterize microbial communities generally rely on the amplification and sequencing of relatively short DNA regions.

Effects of propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment on mycobiome and bacteriome analysis of cystic fibrosis airways during exacerbation [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction and Purpose : Propidium monoazide (PMA)-pretreatment has increasingly been applied to remove the bias from dead or damaged cell artefacts, which could impact the microbiota analysis by high-throughput sequencing. Our study aimed to determine

TCMD: A High‐Throughput and Rapid Method for Screening Antimicrobial Ingredients from Renewable Bio‐Based Resources

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.

Molecular diagnosis by PCR- technique of wood-decay fungi in historical buildings in Italy [PDF]

, 2011
Wood inhabiting fungi cause real problems in the preservation of wooden surfaces and are responsible for the deterioration of cultural heritage. The identification of fungi based on morphological characteristics are still a topical issue.

Fabrication of Dual Photodynamic Enhanced Antimicrobial CDs@ZIF‐8/Polycaprolactone/Ethyl Cellulose Nanofibrous Films for Fruit Preservation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Carbon dots (CDs) are incorporated into ZIF‐8 to synthesize CDs@ZIF‐8 nanocomposites, which exhibit dual photodynamic enhanced antimicrobial properties. This enhancement is due to the narrow bandgap of CDs@ZIF‐8, which facilitates interfacial electronic transfer, resulting in increased reactive oxygen species. Microfluidic blow spinning is then used to

Is a Malleable Active Site Loop the Key to High Substrate Promiscuity? Hybrid, Biocatalytic Route to Structurally Diverse Taxoid Side Chains with Remarkable Dual Stereocontrol

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A highly stereoselective, dynamic reductive kinetic resolution (DYRKR) entry into myriad Taxotere‐like side chains with Clostridium acetobutylicum alcohol dehydrogenase (CaADH) enzyme is reported. Follow‐on cross couplings expand the structural diversity of the library (36 total examples).

A Fungal Effector With Host Nuclear Localization and DNA-Binding Properties Is Required for Maize Anthracnose Development [PDF]

, 2016
Plant pathogens have the capacity to manipulate the host immune system through the secretion of effectors. We identified 27 putative effector proteins encoded in the genome of the maize anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola that are likely to ...

A Novel nor@DHB Matrix for Direct Microbial Analysis in Lung Cancer Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrated matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry workflow quantifies intratumoral microbes in lung cancer through lipopolysaccharide/lipid A extraction from biopsies. The novel ionic matrix called norharmane conjugated to 2,5‐dihydroxybenzoic acid enhances lipid A ionization, enabling direct detection of bacterial genera ...

Mitogenome and Nuclear-encoded Fungicide-target Genes of Thecaphora frezii - Causal Agent of Peanut Smut [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Thecaphora frezii Carranza and Lindquist causes smut disease in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resulting in up to 35% yield losses. Fungicides have shown ineffective in controlling the disease; whereas research on the molecular basis of that ...

A Dual‐Targeting T6SS DNase Drives Bacterial Antagonism and Eukaryotic Apoptosis via the cGAS‐STING‐TNF Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The bacterial Type VI secretion system (T6SS) emerges as a sophisticated virulence mechanism, leveraging the dual‐function effector TkeA from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. TkeA concurrently damages rival bacteria and host cell DNA, triggering the host's cGAS‐STING‐TNF pathway and inducing apoptosis.
