NRRL-13820 and NRRL-13852 are reported to be two atypicalFusarium graminearum strains type A trichothecene producers [T-2 toxin (T-2) and diacetoxy-scirpenol (DAS)]. These two strains were reexamined by morphological, genetical (DNA / DNA relatedness) and toxicological techniques and compared with 28 wildF graminearum isolates obtained from corn in Italy and the USA. The isolate NRRL-13820 was morphologically confirmed as a typical isolate ofF graminearum, while the isolate NRRL-13852 showed some peculiar characteristics. Nuclear DNA comparison between NRRL-13820 and NRRL-13852 displayed 49% similarity and showed 94 % and 44 % relatedness, respectively, when compared withF graminearum NRRL-13833, which is a well assessed type B trichothecene producer [deoxynivalenol (DON) and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol]. NRRL-13820, NRRL-13852, and NRRL-13833, as well as the 28 wild isolates, were not able to synthesize T-2, HT-2 nor DAS. Finally, NRRL-13820 and NRRL-13833, but not NRRL-13852, were able to produce DON (120 and 40/μg/g, respectively). The data support the concept that the production of examined type A trichothecenes is very rare inF graminearum.

Fusarium head blight, caused by , continues to be one of the most important and devastating fungal diseases on cereal grains including wheat, barley, and oat crops. produces toxic secondary metabolites that include trichothecene type A and type B mycotoxins. There are many variants of these toxins that are produced, and in the early 2010s, a novel type A trichothecene mycotoxin known as 3ANX (7-α hydroxy,15-deacetylcalonectrin) and its deacetylated product NX (7-α hydroxy, 3,15-dideacetylcalonectrin) were identified in Minnesota, USA.

Small intestinal organoids are similar to actual small intestines in structure and function and can be used in various fields, such as nutrition, disease, and toxicity research. However, the basal-out type is difficult to homogenize because of the diversity of cell sizes and types, and the Matrigel-based culture conditions. Contrastingly, the apical-out form of small intestinal organoids is relatively uniform and easy to manipulate without Matrigel.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatment to reduce fungal contamination and mycotoxin production in barley during the malting process.
- Significant reductions in fungal concentrations and mycotoxin levels were observed, particularly for certain species, with some levels decreased by up to sixfold compared to untreated controls.
- Overall, the findings suggest that PEF technology could be a promising method to enhance food safety in cereal production by targeting harmful fungi and toxins.

Fungal secondary metabolites (SMs) have broad applications in biomedicine, biocontrol, and the food industry. In this study, whole-genome sequencing and annotation of were conducted, followed by comparative genomic analysis with 11 other species of Polyporales to examine genomic variations and secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways. Additionally, transcriptome data were used to analyze the differential expression of polyketide synthase (PKS), terpene synthase (TPS) genes, and transcription factors (TFs) under different culture conditions.

T-2 toxin, a highly toxic type A trichothecene, is a secondary fungal metabolite produced by various Fusarium species. The consumption of food and feed contaminated with T-2 toxin is a major factor contributing to growth retardation, posing significant risks to both human and animal health. However, the specific targets and mechanisms that mitigate T-2 toxin-induced growth retardation remain unclear.
