Anthracnose is one of the primary diseases in tea plants that affect tea yield and quality. The geographical distribution, occurrence regularity, and agronomic measures of tea plants with anthracnose have been researched for decades. However, the pathogenic cause of anthracnose in tea plants is diverse in different regions of the world. Identifying the specific pathogenic fungi causing tea anthracnose is an essential control measure to mitigate this disease. In this study, 66 and 45 isolates were obtained from three different types of diseased tea leaves. Based on multilocus phylogenetic and morphological analysis, eight known species of , , , , , , , , and were identified. This study is the first to report and in tea plants in China. was the most common species in this study and caused disease lesions around wounded areas of tea leaves. The dual trials in vitro indicated and were slightly inhibited. Co-inoculating and was superior to single inoculation at low concentrations. The main cause of anthracnose might be the concerted action of a variety of fungi.

Unlabelled: Studies have suggested that phytochemicals in green tea have systemic anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. However, the mechanisms behind these effects are poorly understood, possibly due to the differential metabolism of phytochemicals resulting from variations in gut microbiome composition. To unravel this complex relationship, our team utilized a novel combined microbiome analysis and metabolomics approach applied to low complexity microbiome (LCM) and human colonized (HU) gnotobiotic mice treated with an acute dose of powdered matcha green tea.

More and more research is now being focused on the mercury contamination of remote mountain environments. This study aimed to explore the mountain soil of Tiger Hill, Darjeeling, through the lens of its mercury tolerant bacterial microbiome to characterize regional mercury pollution and isolate strains with mercury bioremediation potential. The soil bacteria isolated from the region displayed an extreme tolerance to mercury at previously unseen levels of up to 7 mg/mL.

Introduction: Green tea is a medicinal beverage extracted from the plant Camellia sinensis. Antioxidants that exist naturally can be extracted as pure compounds from their parent materials for nutraceutical and medicinal applications. The present study aims to assess the antioxidant activity of Zinc oxide-titanium dioxide nano-composites (ZnO-TiO2 NCs) containing green tea extract.
