During the search for natural antioxidants from fungal metabolites, three new sesquiterpene derivatives (1-3) have been isolated from the culture broth of Coprinopsis echinospora. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods, mainly NMR and mass spectrometric analyses. These compounds exhibited antioxidant activity with IC values in the range of 34.4-144.5 μM in the 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical-scavenging assay.

During the isolation, identification, and assessment of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) against nematodes, we discovered an unusual fungus in decaying wood from Morelos State, Mexico. This isolate exhibited some characteristics similar to those of the genus; however, we found that it did not match any previously reported species within this genus after conducting morphological and phylogenetic analyses using the ITS, TEF, and RPB2 regions. This new species displays conidiophores with two or three stems emerging from the same initial site and conidiophores with only a single stem and aerial thickened hyphae from which single conidiophores emerge, forming 3D adhesive nets.

FOXO3a is a transcription factor involved in cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. FOXO3a is localized in the cytoplasm in cancer cells, and its nuclear translocation by small molecules is expected to prevent cancer cell growth. In this study, we screened a fungal broth library in HeLa cells using fluorescently labeled FOXO3a and an AI-based imaging system.

Aseptic process simulations (APS) are traditionally performed using Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) as a surrogate for finished product to qualify aseptic manufacturing operations. In this study, the supernatant from cell processing media was examined for bacterial and fungal growth viability to determine equivalency with TSB. With the use of cell processing media in Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) manufacturing, can qualifying the supernatant collected from the process eliminate the need for an APS run?Supernatant was collected from cell processing media and incubated at same incubations conditions required for the APS post sterility check (Test A - 7d 20-25°C/7d 30-35°C) and at use conditions (Test B - 14 d at 35°C/5%CO/5%O2).
