Anti-microbial and anti-mycotoxigenic activities of endophytic isolated from (L.) G. Don.: molecular characterisation and bioactive compound isolation.

The present study investigated the anti-microbial and anti-mycotoxigenic activities of the ethyl acetate extract (EA) and a bioactive compound obtained from an endophytic fungus isolated from leaves. was identified using PCR-based 5.8S rDNA sequencing. The EA and bioactive compound, -Coumaric acid (PC), showed concentration-dependent broad-spectrum anti-microbial activity against the tested bac...

Gene Essentiality Analyzed by Transposon Mutagenesis and Machine Learning in a Stable Haploid Isolate of .

Knowing the full set of essential genes for a given organism provides important information about ways to promote, and to limit, its growth and survival. For many non-model organisms, the lack of a stable haploid state and low transformation efficiencies impede the use of conventional approaches to generate a genome-wide comprehensive set of mutant strains and the identification of the genes essen...
