Endophytic fungi isolated from Vietnamese nut grass (Cyperus rotundus L. Cyperaceae) – A promising solution to mitigate the prime phenomenon of antibiotic resistance

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered seven types of fungi living inside nut grass plants that can fight dangerous bacteria, including those resistant to current antibiotics. These fungi showed strong ability to kill drug-resistant staph bacteria and other serious pathogens. The findings suggest that these naturally-occurring fungi could be developed into new antibiotics to treat infections that currently have limited treatment options.

Endophytic Diversity in Sicilian Olive Trees: Identifying Optimal Conditions for a Functional Microbial Collection

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied beneficial bacteria and fungi living inside olive trees from Sicily to create a collection of microorganisms that could improve olive farming. They found that wild olive trees and samples collected in winter had the most diverse and beneficial microbes, and that organic farming practices supported greater microbial diversity. Some of these microbes, especially Bacillus bacteria, showed promise in fighting fungal diseases and promoting plant growth, offering potential for developing natural fertilizers and disease control methods.
