Filamentous fungi are important industrial cell factories used for the production of a wide range of enzymes and metabolites. Their primary metabolism is a significant source of industrially important compounds, as well as of monomeric building blocks for the production of secondary metabolites and extracellular enzymes. Therefore, large efforts have been made towards the development of suitable strains for the industrial scale production of primary metabolites. Over the last decades, metabolic engineering of primary metabolism has become a powerful tool to enhance production of both primary and secondary metabolites. This review summarises the different metabolic engineering methods that have been applied to rationally improve the production of industrially relevant primary metabolites in filamentous fungi, and discusses related challenges and future perspectives.

There is an enormous potential for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems based on filamentous fungi in view of their simple, fast and mostly inexpensive cultivation with high biomass space-time yields and in view of their catalytic capacity. In 12 of the 22 different filamentous fungi examined, in vitro translation of at least one of the two reporter proteins GFP and firefly luciferase was detected. The lysates showing translation of a reporter protein usually were able to synthesize a functional cell-free expressed unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from the basidiomycete Cyclocybe (Agrocybe) aegerita.

In Australia, pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) cultivation provides a significant portion of the global supply of natural insecticidal pyrethrins. However, crown and root rots, along with stunted plant growth and plant loss during winter, are significant issues affecting certain sites. Several isolates of the Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) have been identified as causal agents of crown and root rot in pyrethrum, highlighting these as key pathogens contributing to this decline.

Soilborne diseases are persistent problems in soybean production. Long-term crop rotation can contribute to soilborne disease management. However, the response of soilborne pathogens to crop rotation is inconsistent, and rotation efficacy is highly variable.

The community assembly of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the rhizosphere results from the recruitment and selection of different AMF species with different functional traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between biotic and abiotic factors and the AMF community assembly in the rhizosphere of four secondary vegetation (SV) plant species in a temperate forest. We selected four sites at two altitudes, and we marked five individuals per plant species at each site.

In order to identify the pathogen responsible for Hedera nepalensis leaf blight and investigate effective biocontrol strategies, samples were collected from 10 significantly infected areas at Southwest Forestry University; four to six infected leaves were gathered from each area, followed by the isolation and purification of strains from the infected plant leaves using tissue isolation and hyphae-purification techniques. We conducted an examination of the biological characteristics and compared the inhibitory effects of different concentrations of Phomopsis sp. (50%, 25%, 16.
