Two new coumarins, talacoumarins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the wetland soil-derived fungus Talaromyces flavus BYD07-13. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data (NMR, MS) analyses. The absolute configuration of C-12 in 1 was assigned using the modified Mosher's method, whereas that of C-12 in 2 was deduced via the circular dichroism data of its corresponding [Rh2(OCOCF3)4] complex. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their anti-Aβ42 aggregation, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial activities. The results showed that the two compounds had moderate anti-Aβ42 aggregation activity, and this is the first report on the Aβ42 inhibitory aggregation activity of coumarins.

The extensive use of sulfonylurea herbicides has raised major concerns regarding their long-term soil residues and agroecological risks despite their role in agricultural protection. Microbial degradation is an important approach to remove sulfonylureas, whereas understanding the associated biodegradation mechanisms, enzymes, and physiological responses remains incomplete. Based on the rapid biodegradation of nicosulfuron by typical fungal isolate Talaromyces flavus LZM1, the dependency on cellular accumulation and environmental conditions, e.

Article Synopsis
- - The research presents a 3-step enzymatic method to convert waste chitin, found in food industry byproducts, into valuable chitooligomers with a degree of polymerization (DP) between 6 to 11.
- - The process begins with hydrolyzing chitin using engineered fungal chitinase, followed by an extension step using a β--acetylhexosaminidase variant to enhance yields up to 57%.
- - Finally, chitooligomers with DP 6 and 7 undergo enzymatic deacetylation, resulting in bioactive chitooligomers that could be used as natural pesticides for sustainable agriculture.
