Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transformed with a genomic library from Penicillium purpurogenum, and an endoxylanase-producing yeast clone (named 44A) that grows on xylose or xylan as sole carbon source was isolated. This yeast synthesizes xynA mRNA and secretes endoxylanase A to culture media when grown on xylan or xylose, but not glucose. Analysis by pulse-field gel electrophoresis and sequencing indicates that xynA, including its eight introns, has been inserted into the yeast genome. It was shown by sequencing that clone 44A is able to correctly splice xynA introns. This is the first successful attempt to express a fungal endoxylanase gene in yeast with correct intron splicing.

The global rise in population has led to an increased demand for food production, necessitating the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Traditional methods often rely on synthetic chemicals that negatively impact both human health and the environment. This study aimed to screen soil fungal strains for plant-growth-promoting traits, specifically focusing on their ability to solubilize phosphates, produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and synthesize siderophores.

Inoculating zinc solubilizing microorganisms (ZSMs) is considered as a promising strategy for increasing Zn phytoavailability in soils with low Zn availability. In present study, we screened six strains of ZSMs from rhizosphere of green manure crop, including three strains of fungi, , and three strains of bacteria, . We conducted a pot experiment of Bok choy inoculated with different ZSMs to analyze the Zn content in shoots and roots, and compared the Zn solubilizing effect of ZSMs.

Propionate is an important short-chain carboxylic acid (SCCA) that serves as an effective antimicrobial agent for food preservation. Previous research has highlighted that few can synthesize propionate by metabolizing deoxyhexoses via the fermentation intermediate 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD). In this study, we investigated propionate production by subsp.

The experiments presented here are based on the reconfiguration of an ancient medicine, Lemnian Earth (LE) (terra sigillata, stamped earth, sphragis), an acclaimed therapeutic clay with a 2500-year history of use. Based on our hypothesis that LE was not a natural material but an artificially modified one involving a clay-fungus interaction, we present results from experiments involving the co-culture of a common fungus, Penicillium purpurogenum (Pp), with two separate clay slurries, smectite and kaolin, which are the principal constituents of LE. Our results show: (a) the leachate of the Pp+smectite co-culture is antibacterial in vitro, inhibiting the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; (b) in vivo, supplementation of regular mouse diet with leachates of Pp+smectite increases intestinal microbial diversity; (c) Pp+kaolin does not produce similar results; (d) untargeted metabolomics and analysis of bacterial functional pathways indicates that the Pp+smectite-induced microbiome amplifies production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and amino acid biosynthesis, known to modulate intestinal and systemic inflammation.

Background: Studies have shown that Talaromyces can produce a large number of secondary metabolites in its metabolic process, many of which have good insecticidal, antibacterial, antitumor, antiviral and other biological activities. In order to explore the herbicidal activity and mechanism of Talaromyces purpureogenus CY-1, we determined the inhibitory effect of the fermentation broth of the CY-1 strain on weeds, identified the major active components, and further investigated the herbicidal mechanism.
Result: The results showed that CY-1, with IC50 values of 5.
