Living Kombucha Electronics with Proteinoids

mycolabadmin

Scientists created a new material by combining Kombucha cellulose with synthetic proteinoids (protein-like structures made from amino acids) to produce living electronics that can sense and process information. This hybrid material exhibits unusual electrical properties, including the ability to perform logic operations like computer circuits. The proportions of each component can be adjusted to customize the electrical behavior, opening possibilities for wearable technology and brain-inspired computing devices.

Bioprospecting and mechanistic insights of Trichoderma spp. for suppression of Ganoderma-induced basal stem rot in oil palm

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered that a fungus called Trichoderma afroharzianum can effectively fight a serious disease in oil palm trees caused by another fungus, Ganoderma. This beneficial fungus works by producing natural chemicals and enzymes that kill the harmful pathogen and also helps the plants grow better. The research shows this could be used as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides for protecting oil palm plantations, especially as climate changes and farming conditions vary.

Vermiculite as a new carrier for extracellular protease production by Aspergillus spp. under solid-state fermentation

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered that vermiculite, a naturally occurring mineral, is an excellent material for growing fungi that produce proteases—enzymes used in medicine, laundry detergents, and food processing. When Aspergillus fungi were grown on vermiculite using a technique called solid-state fermentation, they produced 3 to 18 times more protease than when grown on other materials. This discovery could make enzyme production more efficient and cost-effective for industrial applications.

Synthesis, Physicochemical Properties and Anti-Fungal Activities of New Meso-Arylporphyrins

mycolabadmin

Researchers created three new porphyrin compounds that effectively kill fungal infections like Candida and athlete’s foot fungi. These compounds can also generate singlet oxygen when exposed to light, making them potentially useful for photodynamic therapy treatments. Testing showed they inhibited fungal growth at relatively low concentrations, suggesting they could become new antifungal medications.

Acetophenone-Based 3,4-Dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-Thione as Potential Inhibitor of Tyrosinase and Ribonucleotide Reductase: Facile Synthesis, Crystal Structure, In-Vitro and In-Silico Investigations

mycolabadmin

Scientists created a new chemical compound that shows promise in fighting skin cancer, particularly melanoma. The compound is seven times more effective at blocking tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in skin pigmentation and cancer growth, compared to existing drugs. Computer simulations and laboratory tests confirmed that this compound can also interfere with DNA replication processes that cancer cells depend on, suggesting it could be developed into a new cancer treatment with fewer side effects.
