Transcriptome and Metabolome Integration Reveals the Impact of Fungal Elicitors on Triterpene Accumulation in Sanghuangporus sanghuang

Scientists studied how a special fungal treatment can boost the production of beneficial compounds in sanghuang mushrooms. Using advanced molecular analysis techniques, they found that the fungal elicitor significantly increased levels of healing compounds called triterpenes. The treated mushrooms produced 114 times more of one specific compound compared to untreated mushrooms. This research shows how we can grow medicinal mushrooms with higher levels of beneficial substances, which could help develop better treatments for various diseases.

The Toxin-Producing Ability of Fusarium Proliferatum Strains Isolated from Grain

Scientists studied a common fungus called Fusarium proliferatum that contaminates grain crops like wheat, oats, and maize. They identified 12 different strains of this fungus and tested how much toxic substances they could produce. All of the strains produced dangerous toxins called fumonisins and other harmful compounds that can make the grain unsafe to eat. The findings show farmers and grain producers need to monitor their crops carefully to prevent this fungal contamination.

The Role of AFB1, OTA, TCNs, and Patulin in Forensic Sciences: Applications in Autopsy, Criminal Investigations, and Public Health Prevention

This research examines how dangerous fungal poisons (mycotoxins) found in contaminated food can be detected in deceased individuals during autopsies. These toxins, produced by common molds, can cause serious health problems including liver cancer, kidney disease, and immune system damage. The study proposes procedures for forensic investigators to collect and analyze these toxins from body tissues and fluids to help solve cases involving poisoning or chronic toxin exposure.
