The global rise of multidrug-resistant pathogens, particularly Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), has become a critical public health concern, necessitating the urgent discovery of new antimicrobial agents. Griseorhodin C, a hydroxyquinone compound isolated from Streptomyces, has demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against MRSA. In this study, we employed a comprehensive approach combining transcriptome and metabolome analyses to investigate the underlying antimicrobial mechanism of Griseorhodin C.

Liupao tea is a postfermented dark tea with hypolipidemic activity. Research on the active substances in Liupao tea has primarily focused on those derived from the tea itself, overlooking the secondary metabolites produced by its predominant fungus, . In this study, CPCC 401251, the predominant strain found in Liupao tea under investigation, was isolated and analyzed.

Two indigenous fungal strains, Trichoderma lixii FLU1 (TlFLU1) and Talaromyces pinophilus FLU12 (TpFLU12) showed potential to biodegrade anthracene. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) employing Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and Central Composite Design (CCD) methods optimized crucial physicochemical parameters like pH, temperature, biomass, substrate concentration and media composition. BBD maximized anthracene biodegradation efficiency by predicting 98.
