A direct method is proposed to select less toxic mutants of Aspergillus terricola on a culture of fibroblasts. The conidia are first irradiated with UV, and then are used to grow colonies on the glass surface of tubes or flasks containing medium 199. The cells of fibroblasts are added thereupon and the two cultures are being grown together for 24--48 hours. The colonies which inhibit the growth of fibroblasts to a less extent are selected using microscopy. The method can be used for primarily selection of experimentally produced mutants of Aspergillus which form fibrinolytic enzymes possessing low toxicity.

As a polymicrobial disease, sour rot decreases grape berry yield and wine quality. The diversity of microbial communities in sour rot-affected grapes depends on the cultivation site, but the microbes responsible for this disease in eastern coastal China, has not been reported. To identify the microbes that cause sour grape rot in this important grape-producing region, the diversity and abundance of bacteria and fungi were assessed by metagenomic analysis and cultivation-dependent techniques.

Decomposition of crop residues in soil is mediated by microorganisms whose activities vary with fertilization. The complexity of active microorganisms and their interactions utilizing residues is impossible to disentangle without isotope applications. Thus, C-labeled rice residues were employed, and DNA stable-isotope probing (DNA-SIP) combined with high-throughput sequencing was applied to identify microbes active in assimilating residue carbon (C).
