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.

Advancing Yeast Identification Using High‐Throughput DNA Barcode Data From a Curated Culture Collection

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Yeast identification is essential in fields ranging from microbiology and biotechnology to food science and medicine. While DNA barcoding has become the standard for identifying cultured strains, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionised microbial community profiling, providing deeper insights into yeast communities across ...

Cutaneous mucormycosis in advanced HIV disease

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Angionvasive mucormycosis is an emerging fungal disease known to affect mainly diabetics or subjects with profound neutropenia. Infection usually occurs through the inhalation route, but cutaneous inoculation may occur after trauma or burns.
