Cultivation of the fungus Penicillium janthinellum for xylanase production was studied in a poly(ethylene glycol)/cashew-nut tree gum aqueous two-phase system, using a two-level fractional factorial design. The parameters studied were initial pH, cultivation time, type of agro-industrial residue (oat husk or corn cob), agitation, temperature, and phase-forming polymers. The xylanase produced during fermentation partitioned into the top phase. The agitation and temperature (negative), cultivation time and initial pH (positive) effects proved statistically significant for xylanase production. The highest percentage yield of the xylanase in the top and its production in the top phase, about 97% and 160.7 U/mL, were obtained in cultures of 120 h, 40 rpm, 25 degrees C, and pH 5.0.

Deep-sea derived fungi are considered as significant resources to discovery structurally diverse and biologically active natural compounds. In this study, four new sulfurated butyrolactones, penijanthiones A-D (1-4), together with four known analogues (5-8), were isolated from a Mariana Trench-derived fungus Penicillium janthinellum SH0301. Compounds 1-4 were the undescribed examples for natural butyrolactones coupling with a mercaptolactate moiety.

Acidic xylanase PjxA from Penicillium janthinellum MA21601, with good eosinophilic and enzymatic activity, is an excellent candidate for xylan degradation to achieve effective utilization of biomass materials. However, the low thermal stability of PjxA has become a major bottleneck in its application. In this study, the flexible sites of PjxA were identified and rigidified through computational simulations of structure and sequence analysis combined with folding free energy calculations.

Microbiomes in soil ecosystems play a significant role in solubilizing insoluble inorganic and organic phosphate sources with low availability and mobility in the soil. They transfer the phosphate ion to plants, thereby promoting plant growth. In this study, we isolated an unidentified fungal strain, POT1 ( TLL1) from indoor dust samples, and confirmed its ability to promote root growth, especially under phosphate deficiency, as well as solubilizing activity for insoluble phosphates such as AlPO, FePO·4HO, Ca(PO), and hydroxyapatite.
