Antifungal Peptides and Proteins to Control Toxigenic Fungi and Mycotoxin Biosynthesis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
The global challenge to prevent fungal spoilage and mycotoxin contamination on food and feed requires the development of new antifungal strategies. Antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) with antifungal activity are gaining much interest as natural ...

Mycotoxins and Mycotoxin Producing Fungi in Pollen: Review [PDF]

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Due to its divergent chemical composition and good nutritional properties, pollen is not only important as a potential food supplement but also as a good substrate for the development of different microorganisms. Among such microorganisms, toxigenic fungi are extremely dangerous as they can synthesize mycotoxins as a part of their metabolic pathways ...

Light and storage time influence the microbial quality of minimally processed rocket

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 182, Issue 1, Page 48-56, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Ready‐to‐eat minimally processed fruits and vegetables are an ideal substrate for the growth of microorganisms, including human pathogens and mycotoxin‐producing species, which question their quality and safety for customers. While we are aware of the importance of production workflows in structuring the products' microbial communities, we ...

Volatile Organic Compound Profile Fingerprints Using DART–MS Shows Species-Specific Patterns in Fusarium Mycotoxin Producing Fungi

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Fungal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are low-molecular weight fungal metabolites that have high vapor pressure at ambient temperatures and can function as airborne signals. Here, we report a VOC study of several different species of Fusarium.

Mycotoxins in Beverages [PDF]

open access: yesBeverages, 2020
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that contaminate raw materials such as cereals, fruits, dried fruits, coffee, and grapes when they have been produced or maintained in a temperature and/or humidity conditions that favor fungi growth [...]

Large‐scale genetic screens identify BET‐1 as a cytoskeleton regulator promoting actin function and life span

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 22, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Using a cross‐species screening approach combining genome‐wide CRISPR‐Cas9 screening in human fibroblasts (1) and synthetic lethality screening in Caenorhabditis elegans (2), we identified BET‐1/BRD4 as a novel regulator of the actin cytoskeleton (3). BET‐1/BRD4 promotes actin filament stability in C.

Bis-naphthopyrone pigments protect filamentous ascomycetes from a wide range of predators

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
It is thought that fungi protect themselves from predators by the production of toxic compounds. Here, Xu et al. show that a wide range of animal predators avoid feeding on Fusarium fungi, and this depends on fungal production of a bis-naphthopyrone ...

Detoxification and Excretion of Trichothecenes in Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana Expressing Fusarium graminearum Trichothecene 3-O-acetyltransferase

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), produces trichothecenes including deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), and 3,7,15-trihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene (NX-3).

A systematic literature review on the effects of mycotoxin exposure on insects and on mycotoxin accumulation and biotransformation

open access: yesMycotoxin Research, 2021
Novel protein sources for animal feed are needed, and the use of insects as feed ingredient is explored. The insect production sector offers opportunities for a circular and sustainable approach to feed production by upgrading waste or side streams into ...
