The Microbiology of Olive Mill Wastes

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Olive mill wastes (OMWs) are high‐strength organic effluents, which upon disposal can degrade soil and water quality, negatively affecting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The main purpose of this review paper is to provide an up‐to‐date knowledge concerning the microbial communities identified over the past 20 years in olive mill wastes using both ...

A Complete Genome Analysis of Toxic Compound Gene Families in the Genus Cordyceps

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
To evaluate the safety of drug and food homologous properties of Cordyceps species at the genomic level, the complete genomes of 18 Cordyceps strains were sequenced and annotated. Subsequently, their genomic features were compared with those of an additional six Cordyceps strains, and their major secondary metabolites were analyzed using antiSMASH 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,

Diversity of soil fungi and entomopathogenic fungi in subtropical mountain forest in southwest China

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2024.
Entomopathogenic fungi diversity vertically differed in a sub‐tropical forest in Hua‐long Mountains in southwest China. Isaria genus was dominant while Metarhizium and Beauveria showed in decreasing abundance. The presence of species from three genus showed very different correlation with environmental factors, especially the soil pH, available iron ...
