Microbial and insect oils: A sustainable approach to functional lipid

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 5-33, January 2025.
Abstract The increasing global population, coupled with the effects of climate change on agricultural activities has spurred a demand for sustainable food production to meet human needs. In response to this, there has been a growing interest in sustainable food production initiatives. One of such initiatives is harnessing microbial and insect lipids as

Production of a fungal aspartic protease via solid‐state fermentation using a rotating drum bioreactor

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 273-285, January 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Solid‐state fermentation (SSF) has gained attention recently as a promising approach for producing a range of high‐value industrial products. SSF has several benefits, including a high product yield, a lesser chance of contamination, a resemblance to some fungi and bacteria's native environment, a lower energy need, and cost ...

Apocarotenoids produced from β-carotene by dioxygenases from Mucor circinelloides

Microbiology, 2019
Mucor circinelloides exhibits the complex sexual behaviour that is induced in other Mucoromycotina by a family of apocarotenoids called trisporoids. The genome of M. circinelloides contains four genes encoding putative carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases.

Impact of Alligator Weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) Invasion on Floral Composition and Soil Microbiota

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Plant invasion modifies the aboveground and belowground biota directly or indirectly via allelopathic effect. This study aimed to ascertain if the invasive species Alternanthera philoxeroides impacts plant diversity, plant composition, and soil microbes or not. The soil microbial activity (CO2 release) and soil pH were also recorded.

The medicinal plant Buddleja asiatica and its relation to the welfare of local people in the Pan‐Himalayan region: Past, present, and future perspectives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1231-1248, November 2024.
Globalization and rapid shifts in culture and economy threaten indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) systems, and large intergenerational gaps in this knowledge already exist. Buddleja asiatica is a deciduous shrub or small tree with traditional medicinal applications but is currently largely overlooked as a medicinal resource.

Interaction between intestinal mycobiota and microbiota shapes lung inflammation

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2024.
Antifungal drug‐induced dysbiosis of gut mycobiota results in aggravation of lung inflammation during infection. Specifically, dysbiosis of gut mycobiota results in gut Escherichia coli overgrowth and translocation to the lung during infection. E. coli induces lung accumulation of the CD45+F4/80+Ly6G−Ly6C−CD11b+CD11c+ macrophages and activates TLR4 ...
