Using Aspergillus niger AN01 as original strain, mutated strain Aspergillus niger AN03 was obtained by N+ implantation. The results showed that activities of acidic protease, cellulase and pectinase of Aspergillus niger were raised from 71.6U/g, 141.7U/g and 264.8U/g to 996.5U/g, 940.4U/g and 906.5U/g respectively. Characteristics of enzymes production in the mutant Aspergillus niger AN03 kept stabile by 5 times subculture. In addition, the optimum conditions for enzymes production of Aspergillus niger AN03 were investigated. The optimum components of medium consisted of bran 105.0g, corn straw 105.0g, bean cake 105.0g, NH4Cl 6.0g, H2O 1000mL. The optimum fermentation condition was incubated for 4d in the condition of pH 5.0 and temperature 30 degrees C.

Using maize plants expressing an apoplast targeted Aspergillus niger ferulic acid esterase (FAEA), with FAEA driven by a Lolium multiflorum senescence enhanced promoter (LmSee1), we extended measurements of FAEA activity to late-stage senescing plants and measured the stability of FAEA activity following stover storage. The impact of FAEA expression on cell wall hydroxycinnamic acid levels and arabinoxylan (AX) cross-links, and on the levels of cell wall sugars, acetyl bromide lignin and sugar release following saccharification by a cocktail of cellulases and xylanases, was assessed during plant development to full leaf senescence. These were determined in both individual internodes and in combined leaves and combined internodes of FAEA expressing and control partner plants.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a congenital disorder impairing phagocyte function, causing recurrent, life-threatening infections, and is rarely seen in adulthood. We present a 36-year-old male initially diagnosed with pneumonia. Bronchoalveolar lavage and blood cultures yielded complex, sputum cultures .

Most actinomycetes and fungi have a multitude of silent biosynthetic genes whose activation could lead to the production of new natural products. Our group recently designed and used a co-culture method to isolate new natural products, based on the idea that pathogens might produce immune suppressors to avoid attack by immune cells. Here, we searched for compounds produced by the co-culture of immune cells with pathogenic fungi isolated from clinical specimens.

The rapid decline of significant plant species due to deforestation and slow regrowth has endangered many trees that are crucial for producing life-saving medications. This dual crisis of conserving plant biodiversity while meeting pharmaceutical demands necessitates innovative solutions. Endophytic fungi, naturally occurring symbionts within plants, present an eco-friendly and economically viable alternative.
