Metabolomic and secretomic analyses of Aspergillus niger IOC 4687 indicated the features of resistance of this strain to copper stress. To investigate the metabolites produced under oxidative stress conditions, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was performed. The secretome principal component analysis results showed that mannitol could be the main metabolite responsible for conferring resistance to the fungus, and gluconic acid is the possible cause of copper desorption because of its chelating ability. The meta-analysis of the metabolome of A. niger IOC 4687 indicated that a low concentration of sorbitol and ribonolactone during growth may be an indicator of oxidative stress.

Monogenoids are ectoparasites that have a simple one-host lifecycle, high species diversity, and a relatively high host specificity. During studies on the helminth fauna of fishes from the Jurua River, in Acre State, Brazil, a new species of the monotypic genus Unibarra Suriano & Incorvaia, 1995 was found parasitizing Oxydoras niger Valenciennes, 1821. Unibarra juruaensis n.

Proteomic analysis of the fungus Aspergillus niger showed that its capacity to absorb metals was boosted by physiological modification under metal stress conditions. To investigate the proteome elicited by copper stress, the mine-isolated strain A. niger IOC 4687 was cultured in the absence (control) or presence of copper ions (50 mg L) for 72 h.

Lignocellulosic materials represent a very important and promising source of renewable biomass. In order to turn them into fermentable sugars, synergism among the different enzymes that carry out bioconversion of these materials is one of the main factors that should be considered. Experimental mixture design was performed to optimize the proportion of enzymes produced by native strains of Trichoderma harzianum IOC 3844, Penicillium funiculosum ATCC 11797, and Aspergillus niger ATCC 1004, resulting in a proportion of 15, 50, and 35%, respectively.

Trichoderma filamentous fungi have been investigated due to their ability to secrete cellulases which find various biotechnological applications such as biomass hydrolysis and cellulosic ethanol production. Previous studies demonstrated that Trichoderma harzianum IOC-3844 has a high degree of cellulolytic activity and potential for biomass hydrolysis. However, enzymatic, biochemical, and structural studies of cellulases from T.
