This study found that using pulsed electric field (PEF) extraction increased the yield of extract and enhanced its antimicrobial properties. The leaf extract showed stronger effects against body odor and acne. The findings suggest the potential of PEF-extracted extract for acne treatment and deodorant use.
Researchers in China and Thailand have identified three new fungal species, as well as six new host records previously unreported. Using a combination of morphology and DNA-based analysis, the team examined fungal species found in plant litter. The new species can be identified based on their size differences and DNA sequence data. In addition to the new species, the team also provided in-depth descriptions and micrographs to show the placement of new taxa.
This study identified new saprobic microfungi species from dead plant materials of different species using DNA and morphological characterization. Two new species were discovered in Thailand and another was the first asexual morph species in its genus. Additionally, two new host records were reported. The study provides detailed descriptions, micrographs, and phylogenetic trees to compare the newly discovered species with similar ones.
