High-Resolution Melting (HRM) Curve Assay for the Identification of Eight Fusarium Species Causing Ear Rot in Maize

Pathogens, 2020
Maize plants are often infected with fungal pathogens of the genus Fusarium. Taxonomic characterization of these species by microscopic examination of pure cultures or assignment to mating populations is time-consuming and requires specific expertise ...

Performance of Broilers Fed with Maize Colonized by Either Toxigenic or Atoxigenic Strains of Aspergillus flavus with and without an Aflatoxin-Sequestering Agent

Toxins, 2019
In warm agricultural areas across the globe, maize, groundnut, and other crops become frequently contaminated with aflatoxins produced primarily by the fungus Aspergillus flavus.

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

Journal 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.

Impact of food processing and detoxification treatments on mycotoxin contamination

Mycotoxin Research, 2016
Mycotoxins are fungal metabolites commonly occurring in food, which pose a health risk to the consumer. Maximum levels for major mycotoxins allowed in food have been established worldwide.

Unlocking Lactonase Enzymes as Biocatalysts for the Deracemisation of Chiral γ‐Thiolactones

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The application of lactonase enzymes as biocatalysts still remains underexplored. This study discloses the biocatalytic activity of two lactonases in the deracemisation of chiral C3‐substituted‐γ‐thiolactones. The biocatalyst GcL catalyses the enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) of C3‐amide‐thiolactones, while the rationally engineered biocatalyst N9 ...

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

Toxins, 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

Mycotoxin 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 ...

Trichoderma Afroharzianum Ear Rot–A New Disease on Maize in Europe

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2020
Trichoderma species are widespread filamentous fungi in soils, on plant roots and decaying plant residues. Due to their strong competitiveness and mycoparasitic activity against other fungi, particular strains of Trichoderma sp.
