Two chitinolytic fungal strains, Trichoderma aureoviride DY-59 and Rhizopus microsporus VS-9, were isolated from soil samples of Korea and Vietnam, respectively. DY-59 and VS-9 crude chitinases secreted by these fungi in the 0.5% swollen chitin culture medium had an optimal pH of 4 and the optimal temperatures of 40 degrees C and 60 degrees C, respectively. Enzymatic hydrolysis products from crab swollen chitin were N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) by DY-59 chitinase, and GlcNAc and N, N'-diacetylchitobiose (GlcNAc)2 by VS-9 chitinases. The chitinases degraded the cell wall of Fusarium solani hyphae to produce oligosaccharides, among which GlcNAc, (GlcNAc)2, and pentamer (GlcNAc)5 were identified by high-pressure liquid chromatography. DY-59 and VS-9 chitinases inhibited F. solani microconidial germination by more than 70% and 60% at final protein concentrations of 5 and 27 microg mL(-1), respectively, at 30 degrees C for 20 h treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Flubendiamide (FBD) is a new insecticide that poses potential risks to human health, particularly affecting prostate epithelial cells by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and altering microRNA expression related to cancer.
- The research focused on how FBD exposure affects cell cycle progression and apoptosis in these cells, noting specific changes in microRNA levels and cell cycle checkpoints.
- Selenium nanoparticles (T-SeNPs), produced by the fungus Trichoderma aureoviride, showed promise in reducing the harmful effects of FBD, highlighting their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and suggesting a potential treatment approach to mitigate FBD toxicity.
The effects of EDTA and Trichoderma species on growth and Cu uptake of maize (Zea mays) plants grown in a Cu-contaminated soil.

Article Synopsis
- Metal contamination in soil is a major environmental issue, and this study explores the effectiveness of using EDTA and two Trichoderma species (T. harzianum and T. aureoviride) on maize plants grown in copper-contaminated soil.
- Results showed that while T. harzianum increased maize growth alone, the effectiveness of combining it with EDTA depended on the dosage and the fungal species used.
- EDTA improved copper availability in the soil but varied in effectiveness with different Trichoderma species, demonstrating that T. harzianum worked better for enhancing plant growth compared to T. aureoviride, which showed less compatibility with EDTA.
Synthesis of Extracellular L-lysine-α-oxidase along with Degrading Enzymes by cf. Rifai VKM F-4268D: Role in Biocontrol and Systemic Plant Resistance.

When cultivating on wheat bran or deactivated fungal mycelium as a model of "natural growth", the ability of to synthesize extracellular L-lysine-α-oxidase (LysO) simultaneously with cell-wall-degrading enzymes (proteases, xylanase, glucanases, chitinases, etc.), responsible for mycoparasitism, was shown. LysO, in turn, causes the formation of HO and pipecolic acid.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive use of chemical fungicides poses threats to human and animal life while also contaminating the environment, prompting a shift towards nature-friendly alternatives.
- The study evaluates twenty Trichoderma strains for their ability to promote plant growth and combat Pokkah boeng disease in sugarcane, identifying four promising strains.
- Among these, T. harzianum (T28) was particularly effective, improving plant growth metrics like germination and cane weight, while also significantly reducing disease incidence by 73.55%.

L-lysine α-oxidase (LO) is an L-amino acid oxidase with antitumor, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were carried out by measuring LO concentration in plasma and tissue samples by enzyme immunoassay. L-lysine concentration in samples was measured spectrophotometrically using LO.
