Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the different abilities of various Phellinus igniarius strains inhibiting quorum sensing (QS), to search for novel QS inhibitors from them and to analyze their inhibitory activity, with a view to their possible use in controlling infections.
Methods: The bioactive metabolites produced by P. igniarius cultures were tested for their abilities to inhibit QS-regulated behavior. All P. igniarius strains were cultured in potato-dextrose medium by large-scale submerged fermentation. The culture supernatant was condensed into 0.2-fold volumes by freeze drying. The condensed supernatant was sterilized by filtration through a 0.22-µm membrane filter and added to Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 cultures, which were used to monitor QS inhibition. Inhibitory activity was measured by quantifying violacein production using a microplate reader.
Results: The bioactive metabolites produced by 10 P. igniarius strains could inhibit violacein production, a QS-regulated behavior in C. violaceum. Furthermore, these strains could be roughly categorized into three groups on the basis of their inhibitory activities.
Conclusions: P. igniarius strains can produce QS-inhibitory compounds and have different abilities to inhibit QS.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted transcriptome sequencing to compare JQ9 with a wild strain, identifying 346 differentially expressed genes, where 245 were upregulated, suggesting key genes linked to mycelial growth and metabolism.
- * Notable upregulated genes involved in carbohydrate utilization, such as endoglucanases and laccases, were proposed to significantly contribute to the increased mycelial production observed in the mutant strain.
Antioxidant activity of fermentation mycelia contributions of different solvent extractions and their inhibitory effect on α-amylase.

The balance of the segmented genome derived from naturally occurring influenza A viruses (IAVs) is delicate and vulnerable to foreign insertions, thus most reporter IAVs up to date are generated using the backbone of the laboratory-adapted strains. In this study, we constructed a reporter influenza A/H3N2 virus (A/NY-HiBiT) which was derived from a clinical isolate, by placing a minimized HiBiT tag to the N-terminus of the viral nuclear-export protein (NEP). Here, we show that this 11-amino acid HiBiT tag did not adversely impact the viral genome balance, and the recombinant A/NY-HiBiT virus maintains its relative stability.
