Chaetomium globosum is known as a potential biocontrol indicator against various soil and seedborne pathogens. Precise data are necessary for population monitoring of C. globosum for its effective use in agriculture. A sequence-characterized amplified region marker has been applied for the detection of this biocontrol agent, which will help to detect C. globosum at the site of its application. Out of 17 isolates of C. globosum, only 8 isolates of C. globosum amplified a monomorphic band of 1,900 bp. C. globosum is known for producing chaetoglobosin A. The pks-1 gene is unique in C. globosum in that it is involved in chaetoglobosin A production, melanin formation, and sporulation. Real-time PCR of pks-1 was used to compare the expressions of the pks-1 gene and chaetoglobosin A biosynthesis and sporulation. It was found that the sporulation of C. globosum was associated with the levels of pks-1 gene expression; Cg2 isolate showed high expression of the pks-1 gene, 41.21%, and also produced a great number of spores and perithecia. The association between the pks-1 gene expression and chaetoglobosin A production was estimated. The Pks-1 gene was expressed by all C. globosum isolates except one isolate, C1, which is another species of Chaetomium. In addition, all C. globosum isolates produced chaetoglobosin A with different concentrations and did not express the same levels of pks-1. This finding may be a result of the solvent type used in the extraction.

One problem that has hampered the use of red fluorescent proteins in the fast-developing nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been the substantial time delay in maturation of several generations of red fluorophores. The recently described mScarlet-I3 protein has properties that may overcome this limitation. We compare here the brightness and onset of expression of CRISPR/Cas9 genome-engineered mScarlet, mScarlet3, mScarlet-I3, and GFP reporter knock-ins.

Infection caused by pathogenic fungal species is one of the most challenging disease to be tackled today. The antifungal bacteria candidate can be found in terrestrial as well as aquatic ecosystems, with mangrove forests being one of them. The purpose of this study is to obtain candidate isolates of antifungal strains with a detection approach and gene mapping simulation of bioactive compounds producers and screening to determine qualitative antifungal activity.

We previously reported that chaetoglobosin A (ChA) exhibits a great potential in the biocontrol of nematodes and pathogenic fungi. To improve the production of ChA, a CRISPR-Cas9 system was created and applied for eliminating potential competitive polyketide products. One of the polyketide synthase encoding genes, , which is putatively involved in the biosynthesis of chaetoglocin A, was disrupted.

Polyketide synthase (PKS) and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) hybrid systems typically use complex protein-protein interactions to facilitate direct transfer of intermediates between these multimodular megaenzymes. In the canal-associated neurons (CANs) of Caenorhabditis elegans, PKS-1 and NRPS-1 produce the nemamides, the only known hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptides biosynthesized by animals, through a poorly understood mechanism. Here, we use genome editing and mass spectrometry to map the roles of individual PKS-1 and NRPS-1 enzymatic domains in nemamide biosynthesis.
