We have analyzed 11 strains and clones, representing five species (Penicillium janthinellum, P. citrioviridae, P. chrysogenum, Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma harzianum) and three genera of filamentous fungi, for the presence of hypervariable loci in their genomes by hybridization with simple repeat oligonucleotides and the DNA of phage M13. The oligonucleotide probes (CT)8, (GTG)5 and (GACA)4, as well as M13 DNA, are informative probes for fingerprinting in all genera and species tested. The probe (GATA)4 produced informative fingerprints only with the genomic DNA of A. niger. There was no similarity between the fingerprints originating from fungi of different genera and also little similarity between the fingerprints of different species belonging to the same genus. Fingerprints of strains of the same species differed only slightly from each other. Fingerprints of clones originating from one strain were identical. The results indicate that DNA fingerprinting is a powerful method to differentiate species and strains of filamentous fungi.

Engineered living materials (ELMs), which usually comprise bacteria, fungi, or animal cells entrapped in polymeric matrices, offer limitless possibilities in fields like drug delivery or biosensing. Determining the conditions that sustain ELM performance while ensuring compatibility with ELM hosts is essential before testing them in vivo. This is critical to reduce animal experimentation and can be achieved through investigations.

With the aim of enhancing plants' ability to respond to pathogenic fungi, this study focuses on disease resistance genes. We commenced a series of investigations by capitalizing on the pronounced differences in resistance to Fusarium wilt between resistant and susceptible varieties. Through an in-depth exploration of the metabolic pathways that bolster this defense, we identified genes associated with resistance to f.

Low phosphorus (P) use efficiency significantly impacts rice yields. An environmentally friendly approach to increase phosphorus absorption and utilization in rice involves the exploration of phosphorus-solubilizing fungal resources. This study aimed to isolate and characterize fungal strains from the rice rhizosphere and assess their phosphate solubilization capabilities, plant-growth-promoting (PGP) traits, and mechanisms involved.

Recombination is advantageous over the long-term, as it allows efficient selection and purging deleterious mutations. Nevertheless, recombination suppression has repeatedly evolved in sex and mating-type chromosomes. The evolutionary causes for recombination suppression and the proximal mechanisms preventing crossing overs are poorly understood.
