In this study, we identified a novel partitivirus, named "Cordyceps militaris partitivirus 1" (CmPV1), in Cordyceps militaris strain RCEF7506. The complete genome of CmPV1 comprises two segments, dsRNA1 and dsRNA2, each encoding a single protein. dsRNA1 (2,206 bp) encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and dsRNA2 (2,256 bp) encodes a coat protein (CP). Sequence analysis revealed that dsRNA1 has the highest similarity to that of Bipolaris maydis partitivirus 2 (BmPV2), whereas dsRNA2 shows the highest similarity to human blood-associated partitivirus (HuBPV). Phylogenetic analysis based on RdRp sequences suggests that CmPV1 is a new member of the genus Betapartitivirus of the family Partitiviridae. This is the first documentation of a betapartitivirus infecting the entomopathogenic fungus C. militaris.

Gut bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could be released into the circulatory system via the gut-liver axis and cause inflammatory immune response, while Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide (CMP40) has been reported to be effective in alleviating this inflammatory response. In this study, the effects of CMP40 gut fermentation on internal LPS structure formation and the subsequent immune response were explored. Results showed that CMP40 could change antigenicity of LPS of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enterica, and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, indicated by a reduced level of NO, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.

(CM), a well-known parasitic fungus that grows on the larvae of , has a variety of pharmacological activities. However, little is known about its safe dosage for animals, including pigs. To explore its effect on intestinal health and evaluate its safe dosage, 30 weaned pigs were randomly allotted to five groups and fed with a basal diet supplemented with different doses of CM for 42 days.

Comprehensive analysis of the lipid content in samples is essential for optimizing their effective use. Understanding the lipid profile can significantly enhance the application of this valuable fungus across various fields, including nutrition and medicine. However, to date, there is limited knowledge regarding the effects of different drying methods on the quality of lipids present in .

To determine the compatibility of two new biocontrol fungi with common chemical pesticides, this study examined the effects of three insecticides, namely, avermectin, imidacloprid, and acetamiprid, and three fungicides, namely, chlorogenonil, boscalid, and kasugamycin, on the mycelial growth and spore germination of strains IF-1106 and IJ-tg19. The insecticidal effects of mixed insecticides or fungicides with good compatibility with IJ-tg19 against were tested. The results showed that the six chemical pesticides exerted different degrees of inhibition on the mycelial growth of both strains, with an obvious dose-dependent effect.

In this study, 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) was introduced into the porphyrin metal-organic framework (PCN-224) for the first time to prepare a ratiometric fluorescent probe (PCN-224-DABA) to quantitatively detect ferric iron (Fe(III)) and selenium (IV) (Se(IV)). The fluorescence attributed to the DABA of PCN-224-DABA at 345 nm can be selectively quenched by Fe(III) and Se(IV), but the fluorescence emission peak attributed to tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) at 475 nm will not be disturbed. Therefore, the ratio of I/I with an excitation wavelength of 270 nm can be designed to determine Fe(III) and Se(IV).
