Chromatographic separation of extracts from the fungal biomass of a plant pathogenic fungus, , yielded 8 trichothecene toxins including 6 type D trichothecenes (1: -6: ) and 2 type A trichothecenes (7: -8: ). 6',12'-Epoxymyrotoxin A (1: ) and 7'-hydroxymytoxin B (2: ) were new macrocyclic trichothecenes, while the other trichothecenes were identified as myrotoxin B (3: ), myrotoxin D hydrate (4: ), 2',3'-epoxymyrothecine A (5: ), miotoxin A (6: ), and 2 trichothecenes lacking the macrocyclic lactone system, roridin L-2 (7: ) and trichoverritone (8: ). The structures of these mycotoxins were characterized using spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of 1: and 2: were determined by NOESY and a comparison of their experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Most of these mycotoxins (1: -4: and 6: ) exhibited highly potent antimalarial activity against . They also showed strong cytotoxicity towards KB and NCI-H187 cell lines (IC 0.60 - 112.28 nM), as well as the cell line (IC 1.50 - 46.51 nM).

Small intestinal organoids are similar to actual small intestines in structure and function and can be used in various fields, such as nutrition, disease, and toxicity research. However, the basal-out type is difficult to homogenize because of the diversity of cell sizes and types, and the Matrigel-based culture conditions. Contrastingly, the apical-out form of small intestinal organoids is relatively uniform and easy to manipulate without Matrigel.

The increasing contamination of cereals by micromycetes and mycotoxins during malting still poses an unresolved food safety problem. This study characterises the potential of the novel, rapidly developing food production technology of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) to reduce the viability of fungi and the production of mycotoxins during malting. Barley, artificially inoculated with four species, was treated by PEF with two different intensities and then malted using a standard Pilsner-type technology.

Fungal secondary metabolites (SMs) have broad applications in biomedicine, biocontrol, and the food industry. In this study, whole-genome sequencing and annotation of were conducted, followed by comparative genomic analysis with 11 other species of Polyporales to examine genomic variations and secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways. Additionally, transcriptome data were used to analyze the differential expression of polyketide synthase (PKS), terpene synthase (TPS) genes, and transcription factors (TFs) under different culture conditions.

T-2 toxin, a highly toxic type A trichothecene, is a secondary fungal metabolite produced by various Fusarium species. The consumption of food and feed contaminated with T-2 toxin is a major factor contributing to growth retardation, posing significant risks to both human and animal health. However, the specific targets and mechanisms that mitigate T-2 toxin-induced growth retardation remain unclear.

Fusarium vorosii (Fv) is one of the least studied species of the Fusarium graminearum species complex, a major plant pathogen causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) in a variety of crops. In this study, we isolated 12 strains of Fv from cereal samples with FHB symptoms and gramineous weeds. Trichothecene genotyping of Fv strains showed that 10 strains were nivalenol (NIV) type and 2 strains were 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15ADON) type.
