In this study, we examined fungal diversity and trophic modes across mudflat, young mangrove, and mature mangrove stages. We found that Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the dominant phyla, with saprotrophs as the most abundant trophic mode. The abundance of the major phyla and trophic modes significantly varied across restoration stages. Although fungal alpha (α)-diversity remained stable among the stages, beta (β)-diversity showed significant differentiation. Spearman's analysis and partial Mantel tests revealed that total nitrogen and inorganic phosphorus significantly influenced the fungal α-diversity, whereas temperature and pH primarily shaped the fungal β-diversity. Total nitrogen and carbon were key factors affecting the trophic mode α-diversity, whereas total phosphorus and inorganic phosphorus were the main drivers of the trophic mode β-diversity. Variation partitioning analysis confirmed that nutrients, rather than soil properties, were the primary factors shaping fungal communities and trophic modes. Random forest analysis identified key bioindicators, including species such as Paraphyton cookei, and trophic modes such as saprotrophs, both of which were strongly influenced by soil carbon. These findings advance our understanding of fungal ecology in mangrove restoration.","PeriodicalId":15878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fungi","volume":"11 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856337/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143492270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to consolidate evidence on the biotechnological potential of fungi isolated from caves, highlighting the urgency of conserving and exploring these ecosystems. For this purpose, we conducted a comprehensive literature search using scientific databases (SciELO, Medline Complete, Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus (Elsevier), and Google Scholar). We adopted an interdisciplinary approach by collecting information from 22 papers published between 2013 and 2024. Based on these data, our survey revealed broad potential, including antimicrobial compounds, antioxidants, antitumor agents, enzymes, and organic acids. We emphasize that accurately identifying and depositing fungal isolates in reference collections are crucial for reliable research and effective industrial applications, driving metabolic bioactivity and the production of substances with the potential to inhibit pathogens. Conserving and protecting the cave environment is imperative, considering its continuous potential for discovery and contribution to scientific advancement.","PeriodicalId":15878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fungi","volume":"11 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856267/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143492303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface sterilisation was carried out before obtaining cultures of fungal isolates, and representatives of common sterile morphotypes were sequenced to determine taxonomic placement. Overall relative proportions of the dominant taxa across sites, tree species and needle age classes were as follows: Anthostomella spp. (52%), Lophodermium seditiosum (17%) and Desmazierella acicola (7%). Many other less frequent taxa were recovered. The results agreed with previous endophyte studies in that the combined effects of site and tree species produced unique endophytic fungal assemblages.

Due to their beneficial effects, Epichloë can provide plants with resistance to some abiotic and biotic stresses. The biological and physiological characteristics of the endophytic strains XJE1, XJE2, and XJE3 isolated from wild barley were measured across a range of pH, salt concentrations, and growth values. The phylogenetic position of the Epichloë isolates was examined using the tefA and actG genes. The optimal pH values for mycelial growth of XJE1, XJE2, and XJE3 were 7-8, 6-7, and 8-9, respectively. The isolates grew significantly better at 0.3 mol/L NaCl than at 0.5 mol/L and 0.1 mol/L NaCl. Based on the conidiophore and conidia morphology, growth characteristics, and phylogenetic relationships, the endophyte isolated from wild barley is likely Epichloë bromicola.

Beyond the traditional resistance mechanisms rooted in heritable and stable mutations, a distinct phenomenon known as heteroresistance has been identified, wherein a minority of resistant fungal cells coexist within a predominantly susceptible population. Heteroresistance may be induced by pharmacological factors or non-pharmacological agents. The reversible nature of it presents significant clinical challenges, as it can lead to undetected resistance during standard susceptibility testing. As heteroresistance allows fungal pathogens to survive antifungal treatment, this adaptive strategy often leads to treatment failure and recurring infection. Though extensively studied in bacteria, limited research has explored its occurrence in fungi. This review summarizes the current findings on antifungal heteroresistance mechanisms, highlighting the clinical implications of fungal heteroresistance and the pressing need for deeper mechanism insights. We aim to bring together the latest research advances in the field of antifungal heteroresistance, summarizing in detail its known characteristics, inducing factors, molecular mechanisms, and clinical significance, and describing the similarities and differences between heteroresistance, tolerance and persistence. Further research is needed to understand this phenomenon and develop more effective antifungal therapies to combat fungal infections.","PeriodicalId":15878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fungi","volume":"11 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856953/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143492140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beauveria bassiana, a broad-spectrum entomogenous fungi, can also induce plant defenses, but it received little attention. Here, we show that B. bassiana can act as a stimulus to prime tomato defense responses, improving resistance in the plant to herbivore stress. The results illustrated that four defense genes (PIN2, PR2, PAL, and MPK3) were upregulated in all B. bassiana treatments, especially the phenylalanine deaminase (PAL) gene, which was highly expressed in tomato plants after B. bassiana inoculation. Feeding through Bemisia tabaci resulted in a weak upregulation of defense genes. However, in combined fungal inoculation and B. tabaci feeding, a total of nine defense genes were upregulated, among which five genes-PAL, PPO, PIN2, PR2, and PR1-were closely related to the phenol synthesis. The results of tomato plant metabolism showed that B. bassiana mainly activates tomato phenylpropane metabolic pathways, with this modulation being influenced by jasmonate. Further explorations revealed a significant enhancement in the antioxidant capacity of the plants, as evidenced by the determination of their antioxidant compounds and the coloration of leaf phenolic substances. Thus, entomopathogenic fungi can act as an exogenous substance to activate the defense responses of tomatoes without damaging the plant, indicating a good potential for developing applications using B. bassiana to promote resistance in tomatoes for pest management.","PeriodicalId":15878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fungi","volume":"11 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11856042/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143492170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
