The unusual attribution of trace amounts of ochratoxin A in some Chinese food commodities to Penicillium polonicum is questioned by European experience in searches for ochratoxinogenic food-spoilage Penicillia, where mistaken attribution is now known to have been due to cryptic Penicillium verrucosum contamination. Consequently, selection of single-spore isolates is recommended as pre-requisite for attributing mycotoxin biosynthetic potential to fungi.

While there is growing evidence that perturbation of the gut microbiota can result in a variety of pathologies including gut tumorigenesis, the influence of commensal fungi remains less clear. In this issue, Zhu et al (2021) show that mycobiota dysbiosis stimulates energy metabolism changes in subepithelial macrophages promoting colon cancer via enhancing innate lymphoid cell activity. These findings provide insights into a role of the gut flora in intestinal carcinogenesis and suggest opportunities for adjunctive antifungal or immunotherapeutic strategies to prevent colorectal cancer.
