Ecology of aspergillosis: insights into the pathogenic potency of Aspergillus fumigatus and some other Aspergillus species

Microbial Biotechnology, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 10(2), P. 296 - 322

Published: June 7, 2016

Fungi of the genus Aspergillus are widespread in environment. Some species, most commonly fumigatus, may lead to a variety allergic reactions and life-threatening systemic infections humans. Invasive aspergillosis occurs primarily patients with severe immunodeficiency, has dramatically increased recent years. There several factors at play that contribute aspergillosis, including both fungus host-related such as strain virulence host pulmonary structure/immune status, respectively. The environmental tenacity Aspergilllus, its dominance diverse microbial communities/habitats, ability navigate ecophysiological biophysical challenges infection attributable, large part, robust stress-tolerance biology exceptional capacity generate cell-available energy. Aspects stress metabolism, ecology, interactions animal hosts, clinical presentations treatment regimens have been well-studied over past Here, we synthesize these findings relation way which some species become successful opportunistic pathogens human- other hosts. We focus on capabilities pathogens, key aspects their ecophysiology flexibility undergo sexual cycle or form cryptic species. Additionally, advances diagnosis disease discussed well implications questions yet be resolved.

The Toxins of Beauveria bassiana and the Strategies to Improve Their Virulence to Insects

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Aug. 26, 2021

The long-term and excessive usage of pesticides is an enormous burden on the environment, which also increases pest resistance. To overcome this problem, research application entomopathogenic fungi, are both environmentally friendly cause lower resistance, have gained great momentum. Entomopathogenic fungi a wide range prospects. Apart from Bacillus thuringiensis, Beauveria bassiana most studied biopesticide. After invading insect hosts, B. produces variety toxins, secondary metabolites such as beauvericin, bassianin, bassianolide, beauverolides, tenellin, oosporein, oxalic acid. These toxins help to parasitize kill hosts. This review unequivocally considers beauveria highly promising summarizes their attack mechanism(s) host immune system. Genetic engineering strategies improve toxin principles, genes, or virulent molecules been discussed. Lastly, we discuss future perspective research, including newly discovered toxins.

Current trends, limitations and future research in the fungi?

Fungal Diversity, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 125(1), P. 1 - 71

Published: March 20, 2024

Abstract The field of mycology has grown from an underappreciated subset botany, to a valuable, modern scientific discipline. As this study grown, there have been significant contributions science, technology, and industry, highlighting the value fungi in era. This paper looks at current research, along with existing limitations, suggests future areas where scientists can focus their efforts, mycology. We show how become important emerging diseases medical discuss trends potential drug novel compound discovery. explore phylogenomics, its potential, outcomes address question phylogenomics be applied fungal ecology. In addition, functional genomics studies are discussed importance unravelling intricate mechanisms underlying behaviour, interactions, adaptations, paving way for comprehensive understanding biology. look research building materials, they used as carbon sinks, biocircular economies. numbers always great interest often written about estimates varied greatly. Thus, we needs order obtain more reliable estimates. aspects machine learning (AI) it mycological research.

Aspergillus penicillioides differentiation and cell division at 0.585 water activity

Environmental Microbiology, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 19(2), P. 687 - 697

Published: Nov. 21, 2016

Water availability acts as the most stringent constraint for life on Earth. Thus, understanding water relations of microbial extremophiles is imperative to our ability increase agricultural productivity (e.g., by enhancing processing and turnover dead organic matter in soils arid regions), reduce human exposure mycotoxins buildings food-supply chain, prevent spoilage foods/animal feeds, books, museum specimens artworks better control microbiology industrial fermentations. Only a small number systems can retain activity at <0.710 (ISME J 2015 9: 1333-1351). It has long-been considered that resilient these Xeromyces bisporus, which inhabits sugar-rich substrates (Appl Environ Microbiol 1968 16: 1853-1858). The current study focused germination Aspergillus penicillioides, xerophile also able grow under low humidity saline conditions. Investigations differed from those reported earlier: firstly, aerially borne conidia were harvested, then used inoculations, their dry condition; secondly, cultures incubated 24°C, i.e. below optimum temperature, minimize possibility loss substrate; thirdly, remained sealed throughout 73-day period (microscopic examination was carried out directly 48 through Petri plate lid); fourthly, parameters determined were: rates extent conidial swelling, production differentiated germination-structures septate germlings, subsequent development mycelium and/or sporulation; fifthly, assessments over range water-activity values time points obtain complete profile process. Conidia swelled, formed produced germlings just 0.585 (≡58.5% relative humidity), outside currently understood thermodynamic window life. Furthermore, analyses data suggest theoretical minimum 0.565 A. penicilliodes. In relation astrobiology, findings have an application limits extraterrestrial environments. light plans exploration missions Mars other places, need safeguard martian scientific sites potential resources (including water) future habitation, knowledge-based effective policy planetary protection essential.
