Physiological response of chestnuts (Castanea mollissima Blume) infected by pathogenic fungi and their correlation with fruit decay

mycolabadmin

This study examined how three types of fungal infections cause chestnuts to rot and decay. Researchers found that fungi produce enzymes that break down cell walls and trigger the fruit’s defense mechanisms, leading to tissue damage. When multiple fungi infect together, the damage is worse than individual infections. The findings suggest that reducing mechanical damage, using cold storage, modified atmosphere, and antimicrobial treatments can effectively prevent chestnut rot during storage.

Exploring the Core Functional Microbiota Related to Flavor Compounds in Douchi from the Sichuan–Chongqing Region

Douchi is a traditional Chinese fermented soybean product valued for its unique flavor. This research examined seven different douchi samples to understand which bacteria and fungi create the flavor compounds. The scientists found that specific microorganisms like Bacillus and Mucor produce different flavor molecules including fruity, floral, and caramel aromas. These findings can help producers select the best microorganisms to create better-tasting douchi products.

Insights into microbiome-triterpenoid correlation in Poria cocos via comparative analysis of sclerotial and soil microenvironments

mycolabadmin

Researchers discovered that the medicinal fungus Poria cocos creates its own specialized microbial environment in its underground structure that is closely linked to the production of pachymic acid, a compound with anti-cancer and immune-boosting properties. By comparing the microbes living in the fungus versus surrounding soil, they found specific beneficial bacteria and fungi that thrive in the fungus but are rare in soil. This discovery could help improve cultivation techniques to produce higher quality medicinal fungi with more therapeutic compounds.

This study explores how the medicinal mushroom Poria cocos creates its own special microbial environment inside its sclerotium (the part used in medicine). Researchers found that the mushroom selectively enriches certain bacteria and fungi while maintaining lower overall microbial diversity compared to surrounding soil. The study reveals that specific microbes like Burkholderia and Scytalidium are positively associated with the production of pachymic acid, the mushroom’s key medicinal compound with anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties.
