Isolation, identification and antibacterial activity of endophytes from the seeds of Panax japonicus

This study investigated microscopic organisms living inside Panax japonicus seeds to understand why these seeds are difficult to grow. Researchers found the best way to clean the seeds and identified ten different microorganism species living in them. Most of these were fungi that may actually prevent seed germination, while certain bacteria species appear beneficial for plant growth and could potentially be used to improve seed cultivation in the future.

Genetic sequencing of the airborne fungal spectrum and air quality at a public hospital in Mexico City

Researchers tested the air inside and outside a Mexico City hospital to identify harmful fungi that could make patients sick. Using two different sampling methods, they found 27 different fungal species, including dangerous ones like Aspergillus fumigatus that cause serious infections especially in people with weakened immune systems. The study shows that hospitals need better air monitoring systems to protect vulnerable patients from these airborne infections.
