Ganoderma lucidum alleviates kidney aging by modulating gut microbiota

Xiaojing Liu, Jiamin Zhao, Jia Liu, Wei Deng, Luwen Yan, Yan Huang, Liao Zhang, Zhihong Liu, Ming Cui, Huiwen Xiao, Xingzhong Liu

This study shows that Ganoderma lucidum spore powder alleviates kidney aging in mice by modulating gut microbiota and promoting nicotinamide riboside production, which improves renal function through the gut-kidney axis.

The Genomes of Nematode-Trapping Fungi Provide Insights into the Origin and Diversification of Fungal Carnivorism

Yani Fan, Minghao Du, Weiwei Zhang, Wei Deng, Ence Yang, Shunxian Wang, Luwen Yan, Liao Zhang, Seogchan Kang, Jacob Lucas Steenwyk, Zhiqiang An, Xingzhong Liu, Meichun Xiang

This study compares the genomes of nematode-trapping fungi and non-NTF to identify genomic changes linked to carnivorism and adaptation to post-Permian-Triassic extinction environments.

Iron acquisition in the weevil-farming fungus Penicillium herquei: Implications of mineral elements in insect-fungus mutualistic association

Peng‐Lei Qiu, Xingzhong Liu, Dongsheng Wei

This study examines iron acquisition strategies in the weevil-farming fungus Penicillium herquei, revealing up-regulated genes and higher iron content in the symbiotic strain compared to free-living and plant samples.

Characterization of Genome-wide Phylogenetic Conflict Uncovers Evolutionary Modes of Carnivorous Fungi

Weiwei Zhang, Yani Fan, Wei Deng, Yue Chen, Shunxian Wang, Seogchan Kang, Jacob Lucas Steenwyk, Meichun Xiang, Xingzhong Liu

The paper uses phylogenomic analyses of 23 genomes to study evolutionary modes of carnivorous fungi, finding extensive phylogenetic discordance due to incomplete lineage sorting and non-vertical evolution.
