Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Medicines in medicines: Challenges and Prospects in Drug Discovery from Fungal Endophytes of Medicinal Plants in Southeast Asia

Journal of Tropical Life Science
Fungal endophytes engage in a balanced symbiotic continuum with their host plants, from mutualism to commensalism and parasitism. These host-endophyte interactions play a pivotal role in shaping the biosynthetic and chemical space of the host plants and ...

Small‐ranged species in biodiversity coldspots: maximum rarity, rarity‐weighted richness, and complementarity‐based priorities in the contiguous United States

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species with small ranges tend to occur with other range‐limited species in biodiversity hotspots, a pattern that has motivated both macroecological theory and practical conservation planning. However, not all range‐limited species follow this pattern.

Interactions between lactobacillus and yeast: A recent update

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Lactobacillus and yeast are microorganisms widely distributed in nature. Their interactions significantly impact fermentation processes, human health, and medical care. However, there is a lack of a systematic summary of the characteristics of these interactions, and the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear.

In vitro culture of Leucoagaricus gongylophorus (Agaricaceae), symbiont fungus of the leaf-cutting ant Atta mexicana (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), using solid and plant-supplemented culture media

Acta Botanica Mexicana
Background and Aims: The mutualism between leaf-cutting ants and the fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus is a remarkable instance of insect-fungus symbiosis. In this study, we aimed to make a molecular identification of the L.

The Longevity of Colonies of Fungus-Growing Termites and the Stability of the Symbiosis

Insects, 2020
The agricultural mutualistic symbiosis between macrotermitine termites and Termitomyces fungi is obligate for both partners. The termites provide a protective growth environment for the fungus by cultivating it inside their colony and providing it with ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Food Safety Management and Mycotoxins Nexus: A Systematic Review of Mycotoxins Toxicity, Detoxification, Nutritional Impacts, and Economic Importance

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the interconnected relationship between food safety management, mycotoxin toxicity, and detoxification strategies, highlighting how preventive measures across the food chain can minimize mycotoxin contamination and reduce adverse health effects in humans/animals.

Fungal farming in a non-social beetle.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Culturing of microbes for food production, called cultivation mutualism, has been well-documented from eusocial and subsocial insects such as ants, termites and ambrosia beetles, but poorly described from solitary, non-social insects.

Human biomarker navigator

iMeta, EarlyView.
The Human Biomarker Navigator integrates the disease continuum, biomarker dynamics, cross‐organ biomarker networks, biomarker classification, and technology‐driven paradigms. It maps how biomarkers link multi‐system physiology and pathology across the nervous, respiratory, endocrine, circulatory, immune, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and ...
