Nematode-Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora is Hungry for COQ7 to Alleviate Environmentally Triggered Iron Overload

This study shows that the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora uses iron-chelating COQ7 to alleviate iron overload under high oxygen conditions, revealing its predatory behavior is for iron acquisition, not food.

Nematode-Trapping Devices of Arthrobotrys oligospora is an Iron Storage Phenotype Adapted to Temperature Changes

This study identifies iron storage in nematode-trapping fungi as an adaptation to temperature changes, revealing a novel phenotypic system for iron overload and its evolutionary link to environmental conditions.

Thermophilic Fungus Uses Anthraquinones to Modulate Ferrous Excretion, Sterol-Mediated Endocytosis and Iron Storage in Response to Cold Stress

This paper identifies anthraquinones in Thermomyces dupontii as regulators of iron excretion, sterol-mediated endocytosis, and iron storage under cold stress.

Harnessing in vivo Synthesis of Bioactive Multiarylmethanes in Escherichia coli via Oxygen-Mediated Free Radical Reaction Induced by Simple Phenols

This paper demonstrates the in vivo synthesis of complex arthrocolins in E. coli using oxygen-mediated free radical reactions triggered by phenols, and identifies novel bioactive compounds.
