Summary: Epichloe is a genus of filamentous fungal endophytes that co-evolved with cool-season grasses, providing additional traits to host plants such as pest deterrence and drought tolerance. Some strains have been developed into biocontrol products and are widely utilized in the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand.

Summary: This study reveals that chlamydospores can serve as bacterial reservoirs, allowing symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria to survive and propagate in fungi, likely facilitated by bacterial lipopeptides. Furthermore, the colonization of endofungal bacterial communities in chlamydospores suggests a previously unknown ecological role. These findings provide a broader understanding of microbial niches and have significant implications for pathogenic and beneficial bacteria persistence.

Summary: Several bacterial isolates with antagonistic effects against Aspergillus spp. were screened from South Indian idli batter and fermented foods, with some isolates closely related to specific bacterial species. The cell free supernatants from these isolates showed significant antifungal activity in peanuts and effectively suppressed the production of aflatoxin B1.

Summary: In this study, 34 different fungal endophytic strains were isolated from healthy mango leaves in Yunnan Province. The dominant fungal endophytes were from the genus Chaetomium. Co-cultivation assays showed that certain strains of Chaetomium sp. exhibited strong inhibition against bacterial pathogens and various other fungal strains showed moderate to strong antagonistic effects against fungal pathogens.

Summary: Supramolecular hydrogels were prepared by cross-linking PVA with quercetin, which possesses antimicrobial and antifungal properties and can form hydrogen bonds with PVA. These hydrogels not only exhibit desired physicochemical properties but also have the ability to eliminate bacterial and fungal strains, including fluconazole-resistant yeast strains. Furthermore, the color change of the hydrogels depending on the bacteria strains indicates their potential as sensors for different bacteria strains. These advantageous features make supramolecular hydrogels highly effective antimicrobial and antifungal materials for food preservation or wound healing applications.

Summary: This review article discusses the interactions between fungi and bacteria in the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients and their potential effects on the disease. It highlights the various molecules involved, such as quorum sensing-regulated molecules and fungal compounds, and their role in colonization, inflammation, and infection. Despite competition between microorganisms, co-colonization rates suggest that multiple factors influence the interactions. Therefore, further scientific and economic efforts are needed to intensify studies on bacterial-fungal inter-kingdom interactions in cystic fibrosis.

Summary: The supernatant of soil-borne pathogen Bacillus mn14 was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which showed antibacterial and antifungal activities. The AgNPs demonstrated potential in inhibiting S. viridans and R. solani. Various characterization techniques confirmed the properties of the AgNPs, suggesting a promising approach for disease treatment and agricultural applications.
