New-Generation Sequencing Technology in Diagnosis of Fungal Plant Pathogens: A Dream Comes True?

Journal of Fungi, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8(7), P. 737 - 737

The fast and continued progress of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) the drastic reduction its costs have boosted new unpredictable developments in field plant pathology. cost whole-genome sequencing, which, until few years ago, was prohibitive for many projects, is now so affordable that a branch, phylogenomics, being developed. Fungal taxonomy deeply influenced by genome comparison, too. It easier to discover genes as potential targets an accurate diagnosis or emerging pathogens, notably those quarantine concern. Similarly, with development metabarcoding metagenomics techniques, it possible unravel complex diseases answer crucial questions, such “What’s my soil?”, good approximation, including fungi, bacteria, nematodes, etc. technologies allow redraw approach disease control strategies considering pathogens within their environment deciphering interactions between microorganisms cultivated crops. This kind analysis usually generates big data need sophisticated bioinformatic tools (machine learning, artificial intelligence) management. Herein, examples use research fungal diversity some are reported.

New Biotechnological Production of EPA by Pythium irregulare Using Alternative Sustainable Media Obtained from Food Industry By-Products and Waste

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(2), P. 1147 - 1147

Published: Jan. 7, 2023

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) have multiple beneficial effects on human health, in particular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6, n-3) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5, n-3). A variety of microorganisms has been used for the commercial production non-animal-source LC-PUFAs. The oomycetes Pythium family are promising EPA producers, this work, optimization irregulare growth using food industry by-products wastes as cheap sources nutrients was carried out. Sugar cane molasses (SCM), spent brewery yeast (SBY), cheese whey (CW), expired orange juice (EFJ) were tested. combination SBY a source nitrogen EFJ organic carbon resulted best outcome among other sustainable media ingredients. new medium conducted through response surface methodology factors. results show significant positive impact these factors biomass productivity (p < 0.005), with an optimized yield 14.22 g L−1, lipid 2.23 concentration 155 mg L−1.

An Improved Sporulation Method for Producing Asexual Zoospores of Pythium aphanidermatum on Culture Medium

Mycobiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 53(1), P. 120 - 127

Published: Jan. 2, 2025

An improved sporulation method for Pythium aphanidermatum on 10% V8-juice agar was developed to generate substantial quantities of zoospores. We conducted experiments using a 4 × factorial design evaluate the effects temperature (20, 25, 30, and 35 °C) incubation time (2, 3, 4, 5 days) zoospore production from isolates HSv05 KACC 48066. The results indicated that 30 °C consistently yielded highest numbers zoospores across all periods. Applying same (30 periods other (CCp03, CCp04, CCp05, HSv10, 40156) also resulted in higher regardless times compared with under control condition (25 2 days). Further virulence tests isolate revealed high concentrations (5 102 - 105 zoospores/ml) induced severe rot symptoms; however, low concentration zoospores/ml produced only considerably weak symptoms inoculated potato tubers. No appeared tubers 0 (uninoculated control) or 101 zoospores/ml. These findings suggest our can help obtain adequate various basic applied studies, including pathogen identification, assessment, resistance resource screening, strategy development.

Highly sensitive multiplex PCR for convenient quantification and differentiation of canine Oomycota pathogens: Pythium insidiosum , Lagenidium giganteum f. caninum, and Paralagenidium karlingii

Microbiology Spectrum, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 24, 2025

ABSTRACT Oomycota mammalian pathogens, including Pythium ( P .) insidiosum , Lagenidium L giganteum f. caninum and Paralagenidium Para karlingii are increasingly recognized as causes of life-threatening infections in dogs, with diagnosis complicated by their clinical phenotypic resemblance to fungal pathogens. Traditional diagnostic methods, such serology, histopathology, culture, often lack sensitivity specificity, delaying appropriate management. Here, we developed a multiplex PCR assay remarkable sensitivity, detecting few one DNA copy per reaction for P. Para. 10 copies L. . Validation on pure isolates from ATCC USDA-ARS other confirmed the assay’s correctly identifying all three pathogens showing no cross-reactivity non-target isolates. Interestingly, revealed that 45.5% (40/88) serum samples positive anti- antibody contained DNA. Additionally, among 24 suspected antibody-positive samples, 54.2% (13/24) tested DNA, while 8.3% (2/24) By allowing simultaneous detection differentiation these single reaction, significantly reduces time resource requirements. This highly sensitive tool holds promise enhancing speed accuracy infection well species, humans. could enable prompt implementation species-specific followed early intervention, ultimately resulting improved outcomes. IMPORTANCE study addresses critical gap caused —Pythium —in dogs. These misdiagnosed due overlapping features, require accurate treatment. Current time-consuming, prone inconclusive results. The newly offers transformative solution enabling specificity. not only but also enhances pathogen identification, paving way earlier intervention Moreover, its potential application humans, underscores broader significance managing infections.

Abstract Forests are threatened by many natural stressors intensified climate change and anthropogenic activities, which tend to increase their susceptibility pests pathogens. Consequently, oomycete‐related forest decline or dieback cases increasing in natural, urban, agricultural landscapes. It is this context that Christmas tree growers from Southern Québec, Canada, experiencing root rot problems, with reported incidences up 25%. In a previous study, seven Phytophthora spp. were associated problem, but the overall diversity of oomycetes has not yet been investigated. Hence, we use metabarcoding approach provide an overview diversity, richness, composition oomycete community fir plantations compared surrounding forests. We showed P. cryptogea cluster, europaea sansomeana , chlamydospora cluster significantly more abundant soils collected under diseased trees confirmed (including abietivora ) was most frequently showing rot‐like symptoms. Finally, report land (anthropogenic activities) shapes while can act as gateway for invading fact, results presented here suggested might already have crossed boundary other species follow, advocating importance improved surveillance various environments.
