Three previously undescribed griseofulvin derivatives, namely pochonichlamydins A-C, one small polyketide, namely pochonichlamydin D, together with nine known compounds, have been isolated from cultures of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectrometric methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Dechlorogriseofulvin and griseofulvin exhibited inhibitory activities against Candida albicans at the concentration of 100 μM, with inhibition rates of 69.1% and 56.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, pochonichlamydin C showed mild cytotoxicity against the human cancer MCF-7 cell line with an IC value of 33.1 μM.

Introduction: The control of parasites infections in livestock is an ongoing concern, with parasites developing resistance to commonly used antiparasitic drugs. The current study investigated the destructive effect of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia on the eggs and oocysts of several equine parasites, as well as assessing the safety of the fungus in mice.

To address the economic burden caused by livestock parasitic diseases, particularly gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) and liver flukes, which are exacerbated by growing anthelmintic resistance, researchers are increasingly focusing on biological control strategies as a promising solution. Among these, the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia has demonstrated promising helminth control properties. This study explored the potential of P.

Article Synopsis
- Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are highly damaging to cultivated almond trees, and understanding the soil microbiota in infested areas is crucial for developing effective management strategies.
- A study was conducted in southern Spain across six almond groves to analyze the effects of RKN infestation on soil and root microbiomes, measuring various parameters like nematode assemblages and biocontrol agents.
- Results showed that soil degradation and a specific ratio of fungi to bacteria were observed, indicating a significant impact of sample type and location on microbial diversity, while also suggesting potential for biocontrol agents to help manage RKN levels in almond orchards.
