Improved γ-linolenic acid production in Mucor circinelloides by homologous overexpressing of delta-12 and delta-6 desaturases

Microbial Cell Factories, 2017
Background γ-Linolenic acid (GLA) is important because of its nutritional value and medicinal applications. Although the biosynthetic pathways of some plant and microbial GLA have been deciphered, current understanding of the correlation between ...

Nano‐Encapsulated Cinnamomum cassia Essential Oil in Combination With Fluconazole Exhibits Synergistic Activity Against Fluconazole‐Resistant Nakaseomyces glabratus and Pichia kudriavzevii

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Nano‐encapsulated Cinnamomum cassia essential oil (nano‐CC‐EO) showed in vitro antifungal activity against fluconazole‐resistant Nakaseomyces glabratus and Pichia kudriavzevii clinical isolates. Checkerboard assays revealed synergistic or additive interactions between nano‐CC‐EO and fluconazole in several isolates, without evidence of antagonism. These

Calcineurin plays key roles in the dimorphic transition and virulence of the human pathogenic zygomycete Mucor circinelloides. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Many pathogenic fungi are dimorphic and switch between yeast and filamentous states. This switch alters host-microbe interactions and is critical for pathogenicity.

Active Polymers Containing Silver Nanoparticles Combined With Formulations Based on Essential Oils: Quality Effect on Cereals and Dairy Products

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bioactive nanocomposite diffusion films containing plant essential oils (EOs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were fabricated and tested against foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, and insects in packaged foods. Films were based on chitosan (CH), poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT), and polylactic acid (PLA), containing ...

Carotenoid mutants in Mucor circinelloides

, 1995
The wild-type of the filamentous fungus Mucor circinelloides accumulates the yellow pigment ß-carotene. At a continuous blue-light fluence rate of 0.1 W/m2 the ß-carotene content increases about eight fold over the dark controls.

Impact of Fire and Heat Stress on Soil Microorganisms: A Review of Community Changes, Molecular Responses and Plant‐Beneficial Roles

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

Isolation of Diverse Phosphate- and Zinc-Solubilizing Microorganisms from Different Environments

Applied Microbiology
This study addresses the challenge of finding novel ways to solubilize phosphorus and zinc for agricultural purposes. The aim was to isolate PSMs (phosphorous-solubilizing microbes) and ZnSMs (zinc-solubilizing microbes) from different environments (e.g.,

Technical Efficiency and Cost Implications of No‐Cook Versus Traditional Alcohol Production Technologies at Household Scale

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT In Vietnam, traditional distilled rice alcohol is often produced at the household scale with limited sanitary conditions, leading to low yield, unstable, and moderate‐quality alcohol products. No‐cook or Simultaneous liquefaction, saccharification, and fermentation (SLSF) technology has shown to be very promising thanks to its advantages such ...

Characterisation of the Mucor circinelloides regulated promoter gpd1P

, 2004
The promoter of the Mucor circinelloides gpd1 gene encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd1P) was recently cloned and used for the production of recombinant proteins, such as the Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase 1 (GOX).

UV‐C Inactivation of Target Bacteria and Fungi Screened via Selenium‐Sand Melon Surface Metagenomics With Modeling of Fungal Inactivation Kinetics

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
We investigated microbial community structure of selenium sand melon (SSJ) inNingxia. We found that UV‐C had significant inactivation effect on many microorganisms in SSJ. The SWeibull2 model was the best fit to the fungal inactivation curve by fitting a variety of models.
