Aspergillus Mycotoxins: The Major Food Contaminants
Mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus contaminate food products and threat to human health. The multifaceted biosynthesis pathways are first discussed and elucidated several global regulators of the mycotoxins in detail. How global shifts in temperature and water availability, driven by climate change, are key determinants of Aspergillus proliferation and

Extracting Protoplasts from Filamentous Fungi Using Extralyse, An Enzyme Used in the Wine Industry
Abstract The ability to extract protoplasts has contributed significantly to the study of fungi and plants. Protoplasts have historically been used to determine chromosome number via pulsed‐field electrophoresis and for the functional characterization of genes via protoplast transformation.

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria
Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...

A Review Paper on Mycoviruses [PDF]
Mycoviruses are very significant viruses, which are found to be infecting fungi. These Mycoviruses require the living cells of their hosts for replicate like the plant and animal viruses. The genome of Mycoviruses mostly consist of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) and least of Mycoviruses genome consist of positive, single stranded RNA (-ssRNA ...
