Fungi Treated with Small Chemicals Exhibit Increased Antimicrobial Activity against Facultative Bacterial and Yeast Pathogens

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
For decades, fungi have been the main source for the discovery of novel antimicrobial drugs. Recent sequencing efforts revealed a still high number of so far unknown “cryptic” secondary metabolites. The production of these metabolites is presumably epigenetically silenced under standard laboratory conditions.

Natural prevalence of entomopathogenic fungi in hibernating pupae of Cameraria ohridella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) and virulence of selected isolates

open access: yesPlant Protection Science, 2016
Spontaneous infection of hibernating Cameraria ohridella pupae by entomopathogenic fungi was monitored at two localities of south-western Slovakia and efficacy of selected fungal isolates against the pupae was evaluated in laboratory.

The Microbiology of Olive Mill Wastes

open access: yesBioMed 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
