Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains a global health concern with high mortality and is expected to increase as a proportion of overall cancer cases in the coming years. Most patients are diagnosed at a late stage of disease progression, which contributes to the extremely low 5-year survival rates. Presently, screening for PC remains costly and time consuming, precluding the use of widespread testing. Biomarkers have been explored as an option by which to ameliorate this situation. The authors conducted a search of available literature on PubMed to present the current state of understanding as it pertains to the use of microbial biomarkers and their associations with PC. Carriage of certain bacteria in the oral cavity (e.g., Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Streptococcus sp.), gut (e.g., Helicobacter pylori, Synergistetes, Proteobacteria), and pancreas (e.g., Fusobacterium sp., Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonadaceae) has been associated with an increased risk of developing PC. Additionally, the fungal genus Malassezia has likewise been associated with PC development. This review further outlines potential oncogenic mechanisms involved in the microbial-associated development of PC.

The corelations between White Rot (Rigidoporus lignosus L.) incidence and  soil characters of rubber ecosystem in Penumangan Baru, Lampung. A study was conducted to evaluate the corelation between soil characters and white rot incidence. The study was done in Penumangan Lampung from June 2007 to July 2008. Seven sites were observed on the incidence of white rot of indicator plants (cassava). Physical, chemical, and biological soil characters were correlated and regressed with white rot incidence. The results showed that there were correlation between white rot incidence and soil characters such as pH KCl, number of fungal genus (fungal diversity), Ca+, total cation, CEC, and saturation base. Ion Ca+, total cation, saturation base correlated positively with white rot incidence, on the contrary, fungal diversity, cation exchange capacity, and pH KCl correlated negatively with white rot incidence. Thus, efforts to increase fungal diversity, cation exchange capacity, and pH (in acidic soil) could be used as basic strategies to develope intergrated  control of white rot disease.

The fungal genus Myrothecium was once polyphyletic but a recent reconsideration of the family Stachybotryaceae spilt it into several genera. The ex-neotype specimen of the species Myrothecium verrucaria is now recognized as Albifimbria verrucaria. The well-studied plant pathogen and candidate bioherbicide CABI-IMI 368023, previously identified as M. verrucaria, was analyzed morphologically and genetically and found to be most consistently aligned with the other representatives of A. verrucaria.

The fungal genus Heterobasidion includes forest pathogenic species hosting a diverse group of partitiviruses. They include the host debilitating Heterobasidion partitivirus 13 strain an1 (HetPV13-an1), which was originally observed in a slowly growing H. annosum strain 94233. In this study, a relatively fast-growing sector strain 94233-RC3 was isolated from a highly debilitated mycelial culture of 94233, and its gene expression and virus transcript quantities as well as the genomic sequence of HetPV13-an1 were examined. The sequence of HetPV13-an1 genome in 94233-RC3 was identical to that in the original 94233, and thus not the reason for the partial phenotypic recovery. According to RNA-seq analysis, the HetPV13-an1 infected 94233-RC3 transcribed eight genes differently from the partitivirus-free 94233-32D. Three of these genes were downregulated and five upregulated. The number of differentially expressed genes was considerably lower and the changes in their expression were small compared to those of the highly debilitated original strain 94233 with the exception of the most highly upregulated ones, and therefore viral effects on the host transcriptome correlated with the degree of the virus-caused debilitation. The amounts of RdRp and CP transcripts of HetPV13-an1 were considerably lower in 94233-RC3 and also in 94233 strain infected by a closely related mildly debilitating virus HetPV13-an2, suggesting that the virus titer would have a role in determining the effect of HetPV13 viruses on their hosts.
