Selenium is an essential trace element for the human body, with chemical and physical characteristics of both metals nonmetals. has bioactivities related to immune system, antioxidation, anti-virus, anti-cancer. At same time, it also plays a role in reducing alleviating toxicity heavy metals. Compared inorganic selenium, organic selenium less toxic greater bioavailability. nanoparticles (SeNPs) have advantages high absorption rate, biological activity, low toxicity, can be directly absorbed by body converted selenium. gradually replaced traditional supplement broad prospects food medical industries. In this paper, chemical, physical, methods synthesis are reviewed, microbial nanoparticles, effects on crop growth, antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-tumor systematically summarized. addition, we evaluate application nutrition enhancement, providing support animals, plants, humans.

Codon basis is a common and complex natural phenomenon observed in many kinds of organisms.In the present study, we analyzed base bias 12 mitochondrial core protein-coding genes (PCGs) shared by nine Amanita species.The results showed that codons all species tended to end A/T, demonstrating preference for this codon. In addition, detected correlation between codon composition adaptation index (CAI), (CBI), frequency optimal (FOP) indices, indicating influence on bias. The average effective number (ENC) PCGs 30.81, which <35, strong Amanita. neutrality plot analysis PR2-Bias further demonstrated selection plays an important role obtained 5-10 (ΔRSCU > 0.08 RSCU 1) species, GCA AUU were most widely used codons. Based combined sequence value, deduced genetic relationship different found large variations them.This study promoted understanding synonymous usage characteristics evolution fungal group.

Phage ecology has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Fermented foods have rich and diverse microbial communities, which are not only the creators of unique flavors food, but also good hosts for bacteriophages. However, at present, much is known about bacterial fungal communities their functions fermented foods, little bacteriophages that inhabit bacteria. This article reviews findings on phage diversity highlighting how these organisms influence relate to dynamics foods.

The influence of uranium (U) mining on the fungal diversity (FD) and communities (FC) structure was investigated in this work. Our results revealed that soil FC richness FD indicators obviously decreased due to U, such as Chao1, observed OTUs Shannon index (P<0.05). Moreover, abundances Mortierella, Gibberella, Tetracladium were notably reduced samples owing U activities In contrast, Cadophora, Pseudogymnoascus, Mucor, Sporormiella increased all after Furthermore, not only dramatically influenced Plant_Pathogen guild Saprotroph Pathotroph modes (P<0.05), but also induced differentiation enrichment Animal_Pathogen-Soil_Saprotroph Endophyte guilds Symbiotroph trophic modes. addition, various populations enriched deal with external stresses caused by different areas depths Finally, nine U-tolerant fungi isolated identified a minimum inhibitory concentration range 400-600 mg/L, their adsorption efficiency for ranged from 11.6% 37.9%.

Apiotrichum is a diverse anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast genus, and its mitogenome characterization has not been revealed. In this study, we assembled two mitogenomes compared them with from Agaricomycotina, Pucciniomycotina Ustilaginomycotina. The of gracile A. gamsii comprised circular DNA molecules, sizes 34,648 bp 38,096 bp, respectively. Intronic regions were found contributed the most to size expansion mitogenome. Comparative mitogenomic analysis revealed that 6.85-38.89% nucleotides varied between tRNAs shared by mitogenomes. GC content all core PCGs in was lower than gracile, an average low value 4.97%. rps3 gene differentiated among Ustilaginomycotina species, while nad4L conserved evolution. Ka/Ks values for cob genes > 1, indicating may be subjected positive selection Frequent intron loss/gain events potential transfer have detected evolution We further large-scale rearrangements 19 Ustilaginomycotina, fifteen 17 mitochondrial arrangements. Phylogenetic analyses based on maximum likelihood Bayesian inference methods using combined dataset different taxonomic assignment wherein had more closely relationship Trichosporon asahii. This study served as first report genus Apiotrichum, which promotes understanding evolution, genomics, phylogeny Apiotrichum.
