RNA-binding protein Nrd1 plays a role in RNA polymerase II transcription termination. In this study, we showed that the orthologous NrdA is important in global mRNA expression and secondary metabolism in species. We constructed an conditional expression strain using the Tet-On system in mut.

One new gliotoxin derivative fumianthrogliotoxin (), one new indoquizoline alkaloid 3-(methyl propionate) indoquizoline (), and three novel indole alkaloids, anthroxyindole (), (±)-asperfumiindole A (), and (±)-asperfumiindole B (), together with 16 known compounds (-), were isolated from the culture of deep-sea derived fungus AF1. Their chemical structures and absolute configurations were determined through the analysis of NMR data in combination with electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and other spectroscopic analyses. Compounds - and - were evaluated for anti-pulmonary fibrosis activity.

() is a filamentous fungus that causes invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. Regulating fungal growth is crucial for preventing disease development. This study found that deleting the guanine nucleotide exchange factor gene led to slower growth and reduced the fungal burden and mortality of infected mice.

Siderophore-mediated iron acquisition is essential for the virulence of , a fungus causing life-threatening aspergillosis. Drugs targeting the siderophore biosynthetic pathway could help improve disease management. The transacetylases SidF and SidL generate intermediates for different siderophores in .

Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) workers are exposed to bioaerosols containing bacteria, fungi, and endotoxin, potentially posing health risks to workers. This study quantified personal exposure levels to airborne bacteria and fungi, endotoxin, and dust among 44 workers during two seasons at four WWTPs. Associations between the exposure measurements and serum levels of biomarkers CRP, SAA, and CC16 were also assessed.
