Maize is a crucial staple crop that ensures global food security by supplying essential nutrients. However, heavy metal (HM) contamination inhibits maize growth, reduces output, and affects food security. Some endophytic fungi (EFs) in maize seeds have the potential to enhance growth and increase dry biomass, offering a solution to mitigate the negative effect of HM contamination.

The ability to regulate the expression of genes is a central tool for the characterization of fungal genes. This is of particular interest to study genes required for specific processes or the effect of genes expressed only under specific conditions. Saccharomycopsis species show a unique property of necrotrophic mycoparasitism that is activated upon starvation.

The effect of exposure of soft wheat buns to Ultraviolet-C radiation (UV-C, 253.7 nm) was studied as an alternative to conventional treatments to control fungal spoilage and prolong shelf life. To identify the most suitable operating conditions, the study included preliminary tests on the permeability of films to UV-C irradiation, and on treatment antifungal efficacy on target microorganisms ( and ) in Petri dishes.

Saccharomycopsis species are natural organic sulphur auxotrophs. Their genomes do not encode genes for the uptake and assimilation of sulphate and thus these species cannot grow on media lacking e.g.

A high-yield 3-methylthiopropanol (3-Met) yeast Y1402 was obtained from sesame-flavored Daqu, and it was identified as . Y1402 showed a broad range of growth temperatures and pH, as well as the maximum tolerance to glucose, NaCl, nicotine, and 3-Met at 50% (/), 15% (/), 1.2 g/L, and 18 g/L, respectively.
