Native Microbiota of Rapeseed Cake as Potential Source of Industrial Producers by Olga P. Sverdlova, Elizaveta V. Podshivalova, Natalya Yu. Sharova, Daria D. Belova

“…Its main by-product is cake: its chemical composition and availability make it an excellent source of nutrients in microbial cultivation to be used as biologically active compounds or as part of functional products. The research objective was to study the native microbiota of rapeseed cake under conditions of high humidity, as well as to describe the morphology of isolated microorganisms and determine their genera by NGS sequencing. …”

Functional genomic approach to the study of biodiversitywithin Trichoderma by Monte E, Hermosa M R, Gonzalez F J, Rey M, Cardoza R E, Gutierrez S, Delgado Jarana J, Llobell A

“…Therefore, there is a clear interest to explore beyond the phenotype to exploit the underlying genetic systems using functional genomics tools. The great diversity of species within the Trichoderma genus, the absence of optimized systems for its exploration, and the great variety of genes expressed under a wide range of ambient conditions are the main challenges to consider when starting a comprehensive functional genomics study. …”
