Invasive systemic fungal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We report the case of a fatal infection with Hormographiella aspergillata in a patient undergoing allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukaemia.

Background: The laccase Lcc9 from Coprinopsis cinerea has optimal catalytic activity at moderate to alkaline pH conditions, making it invaluable for industrial applications. However, C. cinerea naturally secretes Lcc9 at low expression levels, which limits the industrial application of Lcc9 on a large scale.

Rice cultivation generates huge amounts of on farm residues especially under mechanical harvesting. Paddy straw being recalcitrant hinders sowing of upcoming rabi crops like wheat and mustard. Non-environmental sustainable practice of on-farm burning of the paddy residues is being popularly followed for quick disposal of the agro-residues and land preparation.

Article Synopsis
- Coprinopsis cinerea serves as a model organism to study the organized developmental processes of basidiomycetes, which rely on genetic and environmental coordination.
- Oxylipins, particularly psi factors, are critical in controlling the balance between sexual and asexual spore development in fungi, yet the role of specific enzymes like linoleate dioxygenases in this process remains largely unknown.
- This study identified and characterized linoleate dioxygenases in basidiomycetes, finding that knocking out a specific gene (Ccldo1) in C. cinerea increased fruiting body formation, indicating that this gene negatively impacts sexual reproduction without affecting asexual reproduction.
