Perforative eye injuries in two patients were complicated by fulminant endophthalmitis. In both patients the cornea was free of micro-organisms. Vitrectomy of the posterior pars plana was performed and the contents of the vitreous body were examined mycologically and bacteriologically. Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinans and Pseudomonas species were isolated from both patients. Fungal and bacterial organisms penetrated the vitreous body via metal foreign bodies.

-a mycotoxigenic fungus and food safety threat-coinhabits maize kernels with . This protective endophyte produces secondary metabolites of interest, pyrrocidines A and B, which inhibit the growth of and specifically block fumonisin biosynthesis. Previous transcriptomic analyses found (FVEG_00314), a gene adjacent to the fumonisin biosynthetic gene cluster, to be induced over 4,000-fold in response to pyrrocidine challenge.

The mycotoxigenic fungi, and , commonly co-colonize maize in the field, yet their direct interactions at the chemical communication level have not been well characterized. Here, we examined if and how the two most infamous mycotoxins produced by these species, aflatoxin and fumonisin, respectively, govern interspecies growth and mycotoxin production. We showed that fumonisin producing strains of suppressed the growth of while non-producers did not.

Achieving enzyme catalysis at high substrate concentrations is a substantial challenge in industrial biocatalysis, and the role of glycosylation in post-translational modifications that modulate enzyme substrate inhibition remains poorly understood. This study provides insights into the role of N-glycosylation in substrate inhibition by comparing the catalytic properties of d-lactonohydrolase (d-Lac) derived from Fusarium moniliforme expressed in prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts. Experimental evidence indicates that recombinant d-Lac expressed in Pichia pastoris (PpLac-WT) exhibits higher hydrolysis rates at a substrate concentration of 400 g/L, with reduced substrate inhibition and enhanced stability compared to the recombinant d-Lac expressed in Escherichia coli (EcLac-WT).
