In response, we present the Anaconda R Package, a novel tool designed to enhance the analysis of eDNA data for biomonitoring purposes. Employing a combination of different approaches, this package allows for a comprehensive investigation of species abundance and community composition under diverse conditions. This study applied the Anaconda package to examine the impact of two types of duration fire-fallow cropping systems, using natural forests as a reference, on soil fungal and bacterial communities in Maré Island (New Caledonia). Condition-specific taxa were identified, particularly pathogenic fungi and bacteria, demonstrating the importance of long-term fallowing efforts. Notably, this package also revealed the potential contributions of beneficial soil microbes, including saprophytes and plant-endophyte fungi, in suppressing soil-borne pathogens. Over-represented microbial ASVs associated with both plant and animal pathogens, including those of potential concern for human health, were identified. This underscores the importance of maintaining intrinsic balance for effective disease suppression. Importantly, the advanced analytical and statistical methods offered by this package should be harnessed to comprehensively investigate the effects of agricultural practice changes on soil health within the One Health framework. Looking ahead, the application of this method extends beyond the realm of One Health, offering valuable insights into various ecological scenarios. Its versatility holds promise for elucidating complex interactions and dynamics within ecosystems. By leveraging this tool, researchers can explore the broader implications of agricultural practice modifications, facilitating informed decisions and sustainable environmental management.

However, the use of biocontrol agents such as Bacillus species offers an effective and sustainable alternative to reduce the severity of leaf spot disease. Therefore, our study sought to evaluate the applicability of Bacillus licheniformis M2-7 as a potential biocontrol agent against Curvularia lunata in maize landrace plants both in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that strain M2-7 inhibited mycelial growth and conidial germination by 73.75 and 78.66%, respectively. In the in vivo tests, 1 × 103 and 1 × 106 CFU concentrations of strain M2-7 significantly reduced disease severity compared to the control. Our findings suggested that Bacillus licheniformis M2-7 could be used on a commercial scale as an effective biocontrol agent against leaf spot disease in maize.

Pythium insidiosum (P insidiosum) is a fungus-like pathogen that causes "pythiosis" in mammals. This study investigated in vitro function of human neutrophils against P. insidiosum. We demonstrated the killing mechanism of neutrophils when incubated with P. insidiosum zoospores (infective stage), such as phagocytosis and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Healthy human neutrophils significantly reduced six strains of live zoospores isolated from different sources compared to the condition without neutrophils (p < 0.001), observed by colony count and trypan blue staining. As our results showed the killing ability of neutrophils, we further investigated the neutrophil killing mechanism when incubating with zoospores. Our study found that only two strains of heat-killed zoospores significantly induced phagocytosis (p < 0.01). Co-culture of heat-killed zoospores and neutrophils demonstrated NET formation, which was detected by immunofluorescence staining using DAPI, anti-myeloperoxidase, and anti-neutrophil elastase and quantitated under the fluorescence microscope. In addition, the level of cell-free DNA released from neutrophils (as a marker of NET production) after incubation with zoospores showed significantly increased levels when compared with unstimulated neutrophils (p < 0.001). Our findings demonstrate that neutrophils revealed the NET formation in response to P. insidiosum zoospores. This study is the first observation of the neutrophil mechanism against P. insidiosum, which could provide a better understanding of some parts of the innate immune response during pythiosis. © 2023 Sriwarom et al.

Antifungal agents have been the primary approach to treat such infections; however, adverse hepatotoxic reactions may require discontinuation of the long-term use of antifungal agents in patients with pre-existing liver diseases. New therapeutic approaches are thus needed to cope with these circumstances. Here, we report a 66-year-old diabetic female patient, suffering from a rapidly growing lesion on the nose for 2 months. The patient was diagnosed with cutaneous fungal infection caused by C. lunata, which was based on mycological study and ITS sequencing. The lesion was completely disappeared after a combination of surgery and 3 times of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) at 9- day intervals. The patient did not receive any antifungal agents during the treatment. There was no recurrence at 6-month fellow-up. In the following in vitro study, C. Lunata growth was significantly inhibited by ALA-PDT treatment. Therapeutic success in this patent suggests that the ALA-PDT method could be a promising treatment for cutaneous fungal infection caused by C. Lunata and others. © 2022 LA - English DB - MTMT ER - TY - JOUR AU - Al-Odaini, Najwa AU - Wei, Jin-ying AU - Zheng, Yan-qing AU - Zheng, Dong-yan AU - Khader, Jazeer A.

In humans, it is an etiological agent of keratomycosis, sinusitis, and onychomycosis in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The development of multiple-drug-resistant strains poses a critical treatment issue as well as public health problem. Natural products are attractive prototypes for drug discovery due to their broad-spectrum efficacy and lower side effects. The present study explores possible targets of natural antifungal compounds (α-pinene, eugenol, berberine, and curcumin) against C. lunata via gene expression analysis, molecular docking interaction, and molecular dynamics (MD) studies. Curcumin, berberine, eugenol, and α-pinene exhibited in vitro antifungal activity at 78 μg/ml, 156 μg/ml, 156 μg/ml, and 1250 μg/ml, respectively. In addition, treatment by these compounds led to the complete inhibition of conidial germination and hindered the adherence when observed on onion epidermis. Several pathogenic factors of fungi are crucial for their survival inside the host including those involved in melanin biosynthesis, hyphal growth, sporulation, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling. Relative gene expression of velB, brn1, clm1, and pks18 responsible for conidiation, melanin, and cell wall integrity was down-regulated significantly. Results of molecular docking possessed good binding affinity of compounds and have confirmed their potential targets as THR and VelB proteins. The docked structures, having good binding affinity among all, were further refined, and rescored from their docked poses through 100-ns long MD simulations. The MDS study revealed that curcumin formed a stable and energetically stabilized complex with the target protein. Therefore, the study concludes that the antifungal compounds possess significant efficacy to inhibit C. lunata growth targeting virulence proteins/genes involved in spore formation and melanin biosynthesis.

AB - Purpose To determine whether Activated 5'AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation enhances Fusarium solani (F. solani) fungicidal capacity of neutrophils. Methods The expression of AMPK and phosphorylated-AMPK (p-AMPK) proteins was tested using Western Blot. Plate counting studied the effects of the fungicidal capacity of neutrophils enhanced by AMPK activation. Phagocytized spores by neutrophils were assessed by immunostaining and inhibited hyphal growth images were captured by JULI Stage real-time cell history recorder. Flow cytometry assay tested Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production and the percentage of apoptosis neutrophils. ROS Assay Kit also tested ROS production at different time points. The F. solani keratitis murine model was established, and slit-lamp microscopy captured corneal photographs. Results Our experiments were divided into the following groups. Neutrophils (N), neutrophils + spores (N + S), neutrophils + spores+ 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) (N + S + A), neutrophils + spores + Compound C (N + S + C). AMPK activator AICAR significantly increased the expression of p-AMPK in neutrophils. The plate counting experiment showed that the number of colonies in the N + S + A was significantly less than in the N + S group. Immunostaining results showed phagocytized spores were significantly increased in the N + S + A group compared with the N + S group. Captured photographs by a real-time cell history recorder camera showed F. solani hyphal growth in the N + S + A group was significantly inhibited than in the N + S group. ROS release in the N + S + A group was significantly higher in the N + S + A group than in other groups. The percentage of apoptosis neutrophils in the N + S + A group was decreased than in the N + S group. Captured photographs by slit-lamp showed that AICAR eye drop treatment alleviated the severity and decreased clinical score at 12 and 24 hours post-infection (h.p.i) Conclusion AMPK activation enhances the efficacy of neutrophils in killing F. solani in vitro and in vivo.

AB - The genus Curvularia comprises phytopathogenic, saprobic, epiphytic and endophytic fungal species associated with cereal crops and their wild relatives. Recently, multi-locus phylogenetic studies have been widely implemented for accurate identification of Curvularia, at the species level. Although the genus is taxonomically diverse, the species associated with cereal crops and weeds are poorly known in Sri Lanka. In this study, symptomatic specimens of cereals and associated weedy grass hosts were collected from selected locations in Sri Lanka. The isolates obtained were initially identified based on microscopic characters. The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 with 5.8S region (ITS), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1) loci were sequenced and used in multi-locus phylogenetic analyses. Three novel evolutionary lineages were identified, distinct from all the currently accepted species of Curvularia. To accommodate the novel phylogenetic lineages, three novel species of Curvularia are described, namely Curvularia eleusinicola, C. panici-maximi and C. simmonsii. Morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided for the newly described taxa. In addition, host records are updated for recently introduced C. plantarum and C. pseudointermedia. This study highlights the need for extensive collections and molecular identifications of tropical species of hyphomycetous fungi associated with cereals, fibre crops and weeds in order to support effective disease management and surveillance measures. © 2021, German Mycological Society and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
