Antagonistic activity of two yeasts against Penicillium expansum in stone fruits

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Stone fruits are vulnerable to contamination by Penicillium expansum (PE), a patulin‐producing mould. The use of yeasts as biocontrol agents could be an effective strategy to combat this pathogen. This study evaluated the ability of Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 (L672) and Pichia kudriavzevii L40 (L40) as biocontrol strategies on ...

Aquatic fungal diversity assessment through metagenomics is still limited to current databases

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Fungi play essential roles across ecosystems, yet their diversity in aquatic environments remains poorly understood compared to terrestrial systems. To address this gap, we analyzed metagenomes from 26 lakes in the boreal and subarctic zones, along with one tropical reservoir, to characterize fungal and fungal‐like (Oomycota) community ...

Biodegradable Polymer Coatings: Current State‐of‐the‐Art, Recent Advances, and Still Open Challenges

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Classification of biodegradable coatings. Two examples of biodegradation curves referring to biodegradable polyurethane‐based and poly(ester amide)‐based coatings are also reported. ABSTRACT Polymer coatings represent both a key academic research topic and a viable and well‐established industry market.

Protective Roles of Prebiotics and Probiotics Against Environmental Pollutant‐Induced Toxicities: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
Pollutant‐induced epithelial damage also leads to a cascade of harmful effects, including reduced mucus secretion, decreased luminal pH, and enhanced absorption of toxins. These changes contribute to oxidative stress (↑ malondialdehyde (MDA); ↓ superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and heightened ...

Strongwellsea caulis, Strongwellsea lata, and Strongwellsea potentia (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae), three new species infecting adult flies (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The insect‐pathogenic fungal genus Strongwellsea (Entomophthorales) contains specialist species infecting only adult cyclorrhaphan flies with an infection that will usually develop one, two or even three abdominal holes through which conidia are discharged while the fly is still alive.

Resource quantity affects infection success and impacts of a microsporidian on hosts

Oikos, EarlyView.
Resource quantity in the environment often changes over time and influences the nutritional status of hosts that may encounter parasites. If resource availability significantly alters both infection success and within‐host growth of a parasite, fluctuations in resources may underlie the seasonal disease outbreaks that have been observed for some ...

Piezoresistive Natural Rubber Composites: A Comparison Between Low‐Temperature Glutaraldehyde Curing Agents and Conventional Sulfur Curing Systems

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
The secondary electrical signal peak during cyclic experiment observed in S‐cured NR sensors was eliminated with GA curing due to the homogeneous distribution of crosslink points in the GA‐cured NR network. ABSTRACT This study examines the piezoresistive behavior of natural rubber (NR) composites cured with sulfur (S) and glutaraldehyde (GA) and ...

Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.
