Transcriptome and Secretome Analyses of the Wood Decay Fungus Wolfiporia cocos Support Alternative Mechanisms of Lignocellulose Conversion. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2016 ABSTRACT Certain wood decay basidiomycetes, collectively referred to as brown rot fungi, rapidly depolymerize cellulose while leaving behind the bulk of cell wall lignin as a modified residue. The mechanism(s) employed is unclear, but considerable evidence implicates the involvement of diffusible oxidants generated via Fenton ...

An Efficient PEG/CaCl2-Mediated Transformation Approach for the Medicinal Fungus Wolfiporia cocos
Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2015 Sclerotia of Wolfiporia cocos are of medicinal and culinary value. The genes and molecular mechanisms involved in W. cocos sclerotial formation are poorly investigated because of the lack of a suitable and reproducible transformation system for W. cocos. In this study, a PEG/ CaCl₂-mediated genetic transformation system for W. cocos was developed.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.Pachymic acid alleviates non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease via FGF21‐mediated inhibition of the p38 MAPK pathway. Pachymic acid (PAC) exerts anti‐ non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) effects by promoting FGF21 expression, activating FGF21/FGFR1 signaling, and thereby suppressing p38 MAPK phosphorylation. ABSTRACT Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease
