Molecular Markers for Detecting a Wide Range of Trichoderma spp. that Might Potentially Cause Green Mold in Pleurotus eryngii

mycolabadmin

King oyster mushrooms are susceptible to green mold caused by various Trichoderma fungi, which significantly reduces crop yields. Researchers developed a quick DNA test that can detect these harmful fungi in mushroom farms before they cause major damage. The test is sensitive enough to identify the fungus even when present in very small amounts mixed with mushroom tissue. This new detection tool will help mushroom farmers monitor their crops and prevent costly contamination losses.

The diagnosis of mucormycosis by PCR in patients at risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis

mycolabadmin

This study evaluated how well PCR blood tests and tissue samples can diagnose a serious fungal infection called mucormycosis. Researchers analyzed 30 previous studies and found that PCR testing works very well, especially on respiratory fluid samples. Blood tests showed good accuracy too and could be useful for screening high-risk patients without requiring invasive procedures. The findings suggest PCR should become a standard diagnostic method for this difficult-to-diagnose infection.
