Genetic Engineering of Streptomyces natalensis VTCC-A-3245 to Improve Its Natamycin Production Natamycin, a polyene compound with broad-spectrum activity against yeasts and fungi, was firstly found in Streptomyces natalensis . Because of its low toxicity to mammalian cells, natamycin is widely used in...
A fungal suspension homogenate of pathogenic fungi (Alternaria panax Whetz) isolated from ginseng grown on the field was processed to be utilized as an elicitor. When the 30-day-old ginseng adventitious roots were treated with this fungal elicitor at the concentration of 200 mg/L for 8 days,...
A chlorinated benzophenone pestalone that showed potent antibiotic activity was sourced from the co-cultivation of two marine-associated fungi, α-proteobacterium CNJ-328 and Pestalotia sp. CNL-365 [15]. The induction of cryptic pulicatin derivatives that exhibit potent antifungal effects through ...
Introduction The glycoside hydrolase β-1,3-glucanase, extensively distributed among plants, fungi, and bacteria, acts on 1,3-β-glucosidic bonds of structural β-1,3-glucans to hydrolyze or transfer glycosides [1,2]. Based on the hydrolysis position, β-1,3-glucanases are divided into endo...
60% of microbial biomass [18,19]. It is obvious that fungicides can cause a community shift from fungi to a larger bacterial share [20] and to a restricted soil respiration and enzyme activity [21]. Not only the fungicide translocation into soil but also the effects in soil are modulated...
Plants, animals, bacteria and fungi are the dormant sources of amylases. Amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) production from microbial sources have gained immense interest among researchers because of bulk production capability and the easy manipulation of the microorganisms in order to produce enzymes with the ...
Sci. 2019, 9, 2444 2 of 19 microorganisms are algae, bacteria, filamentous fungi, and yeasts, such as Streptomyces chrestomyceticus, Blakeslea trispora, Phycomyces blakesleeanus, Flavobacterium sp., Phaffia sp., and Rhodotorula sp., have been described as highly carotenoid-producing ...
Beneficial soil fungi present a great opportunity to make global agriculture more efficient, sustainable, and productive [135,136]. Therefore, it is critical that crop genotypes be assessed for symbiotic potential, that crop genomes are mapped to uncover the traits associated with mycorrhizal ...
