Penicillium expansum (P. expansum), a widespread fungal pathogen, causes serious economic loss and public health concerns. The aim of this research is to investigate the antifungal effect of Kluyveromyces marxianus YG-4 (K. marxianus YG-4) against P. expansum and possible mechanism. The results showed that competition for nutrients and space, as well as the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are the antifungal mechanisms. Citronellol may be the antifungal component of K. marxianus YG-4 VOCs based on GC-MS analysis. Further experiments had shown that citronellol inhibited the growth of P. expansum LPH9 by damaging the cell structure, disrupting the redox system, reducing antioxidant enzyme activity, and causing oxidative damage. K. marxianus YG-4, K. marxianus YG-4 VOCs and citronellol can effectively inhibit the spore germination of P. expansum on apples. The above results indicated that K. marxianus YG-4 had strong biocontrol activity and can be used as an excellent candidate strain for fruit preservation.

Article Synopsis
- Patulin (PAT) is a harmful mycotoxin often found in fruit products, which can threaten human health and food safety.
- The study investigates the detoxification of PAT using YG-4, which effectively adsorbs and degrades PAT through interactions with its cell wall and an intracellular enzyme, producing a non-toxic byproduct called desoxypatulinic acid (DPA).
- After detoxification, apple juice showed improved quality with increased organic acids and polyphenols, demonstrating that YG-4 could be a promising method for removing PAT contamination from food products.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the intervention effect of the potential probiotic YG-4 isolated from Tibetan kefir grains on alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed with a Lieber-DeCarli (LDC) diet containing ethanol with a progressively increasing concentration from 1% to 4% (vol/vol) to establish an ALD mouse model. Our results suggested that treatment improved ALD, as demonstrated by the reduction of serum ALT and AST levels and the suppression of TLR4/NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response in the liver.
