L. sulphureus
is a parasitic basidiomycete fungus that causes brown rot. The fruiting bodies of
L. sulphureus
are used as ancient medicines in China and Europe to cure cancer, analgesia, cough, and rheumatism and are considered a functional food that regulates the body and improves health.
L. sulphureus
was inferred to be a tetrapolar system based on a high-quality genome, which will aid molecular breeding and artificial farming.
Undescribed microorganisms from special habitats are being screened for anti-superbug drug molecules. In a project to screen actinomycetes for anti-MRSA activity, we isolated a
Streptomyces
strain from Qinghai Lake lichens.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
