Aspergillus niger is a well-known workhorse for the industrial production of enzymes and organic acids. This fungus can also cause postharvest diseases in fruits. Although Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) based on antibiotic resistance markers has been effectively exploited for inspecting functions of target genes in wild-type fungi, it still needs to be further improved in A.

The medicinal mushroom is widely exploited in traditional medicine and nutraceuticals in Asian countries. However, fruiting body production in is facing degeneration through cultivation batches, and the molecular mechanism of this phenomenon remains unclear. This study showed that fruiting body formation in three different strains, namely G12, B12, and HQ1, severely declined after three successive culturing generations using the spore isolation method.

Article Synopsis
  • Fungal pathogens severely impact citrus crops during both preharvest and postharvest stages, leading to significant losses in the citrus industry.
  • This study focuses on identifying key fungal pathogens affecting citrus in Vietnam and testing soilborne microorganisms that can act as biological alternatives to synthetic fungicides.
  • Two specific pathogens were identified, and the research highlighted successful methods for preventing decay in citrus fruits using antagonistic soilborne strains, offering a promising solution to protect against postharvest fungal infections.

Medicinal plants play important roles in traditional medicine, and numerous compounds among them have been recognized for their antimicrobial activity. However, little is known about the potential of Vietnamese medicinal plants for antifungal activity. In this study, we examined the antagonistic activity of twelve medicinal plant species collected in Northern Vietnam against , , , and .

  • Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genetic disorder that causes blisters and wounds due to minor injuries, with four main types categorized by severity.
  • A new method was developed to identify specific mutations in EB using PCR and Sanger sequencing, allowing for screening of IVF embryos for genetic abnormalities.
  • The process successfully detected mutations in 66.6% of tested embryos, helping families at risk to select healthy embryos for transfer.

Genetic engineering of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae still requires more suitable selection markers for fungal transformation. Our previous work has shown that Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) based on the uridine/uracil auxotrophic mechanism with pyrG as the selection marker is very efficient for gene transfer in A. oryzae.

Purpureocillium lilacinum (formerly Paecilomyces lilacinus) is widely commercialized for controlling plant-parasitic nematodes and represents a potential cell factory for enzyme production. This nematicidal fungus is intrinsically resistant to common antifungal agents used for genetic transformation. Therefore, molecular investigations in P.

The conserved fungal velvet family regulatory proteins link development and secondary metabolite production. The velvet domain for DNA binding and dimerization is similar to the structure of the Rel homology domain of the mammalian NF-κB transcription factor. A comprehensive study addressed the functions of all four homologs of velvet domain encoding genes in the fungal life cycle of the soil-borne plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae.

An estimated 91,998,400 L of herbicides were stocked at three US airbases in Vietnam between 1962 and 1971. These herbicides were contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetraCDD). In 2017, we sampled blood from 120 male Vietnamese military workers in the three dioxin-contaminated airbases (Bien Hoa, Da Nang, and Phu Cat) and from 20 workers at an uncontaminated airbase.

The electrical discharge drilling (EDD) process is an effective machining approach to produce various holes in difficult-to-cut materials. However, the energy efficiency of the EDD operation has not thoroughly been considered in published works. The aim of the current work is to optimize varied parameters for enhancing the material removal rate (MRR), saving drilled energy (ED), and decreasing the expansion of the hole (HE) for the EDD process.

Many fungi are able to produce resting structures, which ensure survival and protect them against various stresses in their habitat such as exposure to UV light, temperature variations, drought as well as changing pH and nutrient conditions. Verticillium dahliae is a plant pathogenic fungus that forms melanized resting structures, called microsclerotia, for survival of time periods without a host. These highly stress resistant microsclerotia persist in the soil for many years and are therefore problematic for an effective treatment of the fungus.

  • Penicillium chrysogenum is an important fungus for penicillin production and natural product synthesis, making it a valuable cell factory.
  • A new transformation system using Agrobacterium tumefaciens was developed with two selection markers, resulting in high transformation efficiency and enabling the creation of mutant strains for gene screening related to morphology and secondary metabolism.
  • The research demonstrated that the LaeA regulator influences various growth and antibiotic production traits in P. chrysogenum, with functional recovery observed from laeA genes in other related fungi.
