Patchy Distribution of Potato Cyst Nematodes Within Single Arable Fields Reveals Local Disease Suppressiveness Mediated by Disparate Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2025.
We investigated whether a patchy field distribution of potato cyst nematodes (PCN) resulted from local heterogeneity in disease suppression. The biotic origin of suppression in soils was confirmed, and elevated abundances of fungal (e.g., Metacordyceps chlamydosporia) and bacterial (e.g., Pseudomonas fluorescens) nematode antagonists were positively ...

Seasonality of pathogenic fungi in mites of rubber tree plantations adjacent to fragments of Cerrado

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Fungi are the most frequently observed pathogens of mite populations, helping to control them on different crops. Twenty-five samples of leaves were collected from rubber tree plantations adjacent to two fragments of Cerrado vegetation.

Comparative transcriptomics and metabolomics provide insight into degeneration‐related physiological mechanisms of Morchella importuna after long‐term preservation

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.
Nutrient‐limited medium in combination with avoiding of repeated subculturing during long‐term preservation of Morchella importuna culture was found to be the most beneficial method for maintaining viability and fruiting capability. Metabolic alterations related to sulfur‐containing amino‐acid biosynthesis, DNA repair, and cellular structural ...

Hirsutella Sinensis Fungus Regulates CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion Through Involvement of T-Bet/Eomes in the Tumor Microenvironment

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Background: Targeting exhausted T (Tex) cells is a promising strategy for anti-tumour treatment. Previously, we demonstrated that Hirsutella sinensis fungus (HSF) could significantly increase T cell infiltration and the effector T cell ratio in the tumor

Unraveling the Gut–Liver–Brain Axis: Microbiome, Inflammation, and Emerging Therapeutic Approaches

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The gut–liver–brain axis (GLB axis) plays a crucial role in maintaining metabolic, immune, and neurological homeostasis. The gut microbiota influences systemic health through its metabolites, including short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids (BAs), and tryptophan (Trp) derivatives, which regulate immune function, lipid metabolism, and ...

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6033-6040, December 2024.
Interaction between plants and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. Fungal metabolites and induced systemic resistance enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In addition, volatile compounds emitted by the plants colonized by endophytic entomopathogenic fungi play an important role in recruiting natural enemies of insect pests,
