AI Article Synopsis
- A 56-year-old woman with a healthy immune system was diagnosed with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) due to Schizophyllum commune.
- Diagnosis involved her medical history, CT scans, culture tests, and PCR analysis, which was confirmed through sequencing.
- Treatment included functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and medications for allergies.
Article Abstract
We present a rare case of Schizophyllum commune causing allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) in a 56-year-old immunocompetent woman. In our case, diagnosis of AFRS was based on the history of illness, CT scan findings, culture and PCR. The PCR product was further analysed by sequencing to confirm S. commune. The patient was treated by functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and antiallergic drugs.

Owing to their nutritional, culinary, and nutraceutical, mushrooms are worldwide consumed and appreciated. Moreover, many of these mushrooms are also known as medicinal mushrooms since they possess several pharmacological properties attributable to a huge number of bioactive compounds derived from their sporophores. Several studies are available in the literature about in vitro and in vivo mechanisms of actions of such bioactive compounds.

is one of the widely produced edible fungi worldwide. It is rich in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid with important physiological functions in humans. To investigate the functions of key genes in the GABA metabolic pathway of , we isolated the monokaryon from the factory-cultivated strain and then sequenced and assembled the genome using the PacBio Sequel and Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platforms.

Article Synopsis
- Lily bulb rot disease has caused significant yield losses in edible lilies in China, necessitating a combination of morphological and molecular methods for diagnosis.
- During the study, a specific strain causing rot was isolated from affected bulbs in Lanzhou, confirming its pathogenicity with 100% effectiveness in causing rot symptoms.
- The pathogen was identified based on its distinct morphological features and genetic analysis, marking the first documented case of this disease affecting edible lilies in China and offering insights for developing better control strategies.

Fungi inhabiting deep subseafloor sediments have been shown to possess anaerobic methane (CH) production capabilities under atmospheric conditions. However, their ability to produce CH under in situ conditions with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) remains unclear. Here, 20R-7-F01, isolated from ~2 km below the seafloor, was cultured in Seawater Medium (SM) in culture bottles fitted with sterile syringes for pressure equilibration.
