Two new trichothecene sesquiterpenes, trichobreols D (1) and E (2), were isolated from the culture broth of marine-derived Trichoderma cf. brevicompactum together with trichobreol A (3). The structures of 1 and 2 were assigned on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Compound 1 inhibited the growth of two yeast-like fungi, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans, with equivalent MIC values (6.3 μg/mL), while 2 gave MIC values of 12.5 and 25 μg/mL, respectively. The antifungal activities of five semisynthetic derivatives (4-8) prepared from 3 were evaluated and compared to investigate the preliminary structure-activity relationship.

Fusarium graminearum is a primary cause of Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat and barley. The fungus produces trichothecene mycotoxins that render grain unsuitable for food, feed, or malt. Isolates of F.

Mycotoxins are toxins produced by various types of fungi, including , which can produce different types of mycotoxins, such as Deoxynivalenol (DON), Zearalenone, T-2 toxin, and Fumonisins (FUM). Mycotoxins have the potential to reduce the quality of crops and pose health risks to both humans and animals. This can result in reduced animal production and substantial economic consequences on a global scale.

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.

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.
