Fumigation with dimethyl trisulfide to inhibit Aspergillus flavus growth, aflatoxin B1 production and virulence.

Aspergillus flavus is a common saprophytic aerobic fungus in oil crops that poses a serious threat worldwide with the carcinogenic aflatoxin. Prevention of aflatoxin B1 contamination has great significance to ensure food safety and reduce the economic loss. The present work focuses on the antagonistic activity against A.

Revelation of the discrepancy of volatile compounds in fig () via gas chromatography ion-mobility spectrometry.

The volatile compounds of fig are influenced by various factors. To explore the composition and difference of volatile compounds among figs, gas chromatography ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was used to study the volatiles of figs from various regions, diverse cultivars, and after treatment with different drying methods. Aldehydes were the main volatile compounds in Bojihong from Shandong, while esters, ketones, and alcohols were the main volatile compounds in Bojihong from Sichuan and Guangdong.

Acetyl-glucomannan from : Structural modification and immunomodulatory activities.

To understand the mechanisms of immunomodulatory effect, polysaccharides (DOP) were treated by ultrasound and mild base separately to generate fractions of various weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and degrees of acetylation (DA). The structural features, conformational properties, functional properties and immunomodulatory activities of original and modified DOPs were investigated. Ultrasonic treatment decreased the Mw and apparent viscosity and improved the water solubility of DOP.

The Effect of Blue Light on the Production of Citrinin in M9 by Regulating the Gene through lncRNA .

Blue light, as an important environmental factor, can regulate the production of various secondary metabolites of M9, including mycotoxin-citrinin, pigments, and monacolin K. The analysis of citrinin in M9 exposed to blue light for 0 min./d, 15 min.

The antibiotic activity and mechanisms of active metabolites (Streptomyces alboflavus TD-1) against Ralstonia solanacearum.

Objectives: In order to elucidate the antibacterial activity and mechanism of S. alboflavus TD-1 active metabolites, the minimal inhibitory concentration of R. solanacearum and other effects on cell wall, cell membrane, nucleic acid, protein and cell morphology were studied.

Biocontrol activity of volatile organic compounds from Streptomyces alboflavus TD-1 against Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin production.

Aspergillus flavus is a saprophytic fungus that contaminates crops with carcinogenic aflatoxin. In the present work, the antifungal effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Streptomyces alboflavus TD-1 against A. flavus were investigated.

Depression of Fungal Polygalacturonase Activity in Solanum lycopersicum Contributes to Antagonistic Yeast-Mediated Fruit Immunity to Botrytis.

The acquisition of susceptibility to necrotrophy over the course of ripening is one of the critical factors limiting shelf life. In this study, phytopathology and molecular biology were employed to explore the roles of pectinase in fruit susceptibility and ripening. Solanum lycopersicum fruit softened dramatically from entirely green to 50% red, which was accompanied by a continuously high expressed SlPG2 gene.

Transcriptomic Insights into Benzenamine Effects on the Development, Aflatoxin Biosynthesis, and Virulence of .

is a soilborne pathogenic fungus that poses a serious public health threat due to it contamination of food with carcinogenic aflatoxins. Our previous studies have demonstrated that benzenamine displayed strong inhibitory effects on the mycelial growth of . In this study, we systematically investigated the inhibitory effects of benzenamine on the development, aflatoxin biosynthesis, and virulence in , as well as the underlying mechanism.

[Expression of human interleukin-11 in cell culture and larvae of silkworm].

A recombinant transfer vector, pBacIL-11, containing hIL-11 cDNA of 546 nucleotides lacking leader sequence was constructed and co-transfected into BmN cells with linearized BmBacPAK(modified BmNPV) DNA for construction of a recombinant baculovirus carrying the hIL-11 gene. Southern hybridization analysis suggested that the recombinant baculovirus DNA contained hIL-11 cDNA fragment. RNA dot blotting demonstrated that the hIL-11 gene was transcribed.
