Abstract This study aimed to assess the ultrapure cannabidiol (CBD) antibacterial activity and investigate of combination CBD + polymyxin B (PB) against Gram-negative (GN) bacteria, including PB-resistant bacilli (GNB). We used standard broth microdilution method, checkerboard assay, time-kill assay. exhibited Gram-positive lipooligosaccharide (LOS)-expressing GN diplococcus (GND) ( Neisseria gonorrhoeae , meningitidis Moraxella catarrhalis ), Mycobacterium tuberculosis but not GNB. For most...
The unbridled dissemination of multidrug-resistant pathogens is a major threat to global health and urgently demands novel therapeutic alternatives. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been developed as promising approach treat localized infections regardless drug resistance profile or taxonomy. Even though this technique known for more than century, discussions speculations regarding the biochemical mechanisms microbial inactivation have never reached consensus on what primary...
Abstract Neurospora crassa is an established reference organism to investigate carotene biosynthesis and light regulation. However, there little evidence of its capacity produce secondary metabolites. Here, we report the role fungal-specific regulatory velvet complexes in development metabolism (SM) N. crassa. Three proteins VE-1, VE-2, VOS-1, a putative methyltransferase LAE-1 show light-independent nucleocytoplasmic localization. Two distinct complexes, heterotrimeric VE-1/VE-2/LAE-1...
Soil biota has a crucial impact on soil ecology, global climate changes, and effective crop management studying the diverse ecological roles of dipteran larvae deepens understanding food webs. A multi-omics study Pseudolycoriella hygida comb. nov. (Diptera: Sciaroidea: Sciaridae) aimed to characterize carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) for litter degradation in this species. Manual curation 17,881 predicted proteins Psl. genome identified 137 secreted CAZymes, which 33 are present saliva...
Metarhizium acridum is an entomopathogenic fungus commonly used as a bioinsecticide. The conidium the fungal stage normally employed field inoculum in biological control programs and must survive under conditions such high ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exposure. Light, which important stimulus for many fungi, has been shown to induce production of M. robertsii conidia with increased stress tolerance. Here we show that two-hour exposure white or blue/UV-A light fast-growing mycelium induces tolerance...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are extracellular signaling that sense environmental cues. Fungi their environment primarily through GPCR-mediated pathways, which, in turn, regulate fungal development, metabolism, virulence, and mycotoxin biosynthesis. Aspergillus fumigatus is an important human pathogen causes aspergillosis, a heterogeneous group of diseases present wide range clinical manifestations. Here, we investigate detail the role GPCRs GprM GprJ growth gene expression. for...
Light is an important stimulus for fungi as it regulates many diverse and biological processes. Metarhizium acridum entomopathogenic fungus currently used the control of insect pests. The success this approach heavily dependent on tolerance to environmental stresses. It was previously reported that light exposure increases ultraviolet radiation in M. There no information literature about how globally influences gene expression fungus. We employed a combination mRNA-Sequencing high-throughput...
Abstract Assessing the in vitro toxicity of compounds on cell cultures is an important step during screening candidate molecules for diverse applications. Among strategies employed to determine cytotoxicity, MTT, neutral red, and resazurin are commonly used. Methylene blue (MB), a phenothiazinium salt, has several uses, such as dye, redox indicator, even treatment human disease health conditions, malaria methemoglobinemia. However, MB only been sparsely used cellular indicator. As viability...
