Cordyceps militaris is an insect pathogenic fungus that is prized for its use in traditional medicine. This and other entomopathogenic fungi are understudied sources for the discovery of new bioactive molecules. In this study, PacBio SMRT long read sequencing technology was used to sequence the genome of C. militaris with a focus on the genetic potential for secondary metabolite production in the genome assembly of this fungus.

Nature has been a source of medicinal agents for thousands of years and an impressive number of modern drugs have been isolated from natural sources, based on their use in traditional medicine. Since ancient time’s plants as well as fungus sources of medicinal compounds have continued to play a dominant role in maintenance of human health. Over 50% of all modern clinical drugs are of natural product origin and play an important role in drug development programs in the pharmaceutical industry.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has given birth to several other new diseases in that the rapidly spreading infections of post-COVID recovered cases is Mucormycosis or black fungus. Mucormycosis is a very rare infection. It is mostly found in the environment such as soil, plants, manure and decaying organic matter. Mucormycosis is more common among people who have health problems or take medicines that lower the immunity. The symptoms of mucormycosis or black fungus depend on which part of the body the fungus is growing.

Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Berk.) is a well-known entomopathogenic and medicinal fungus. It parasitizes and mummifies the underground ghost moth larvae to produce a fruiting body named Chinese cordyceps. Specific for the fungus, O. sinensis experiences a biotrophic vegetative growth period spanning over 5 months.

Histoplasmosis is a mycosis caused by soil-based fungus Histoplasma capsulatum endemic in the USA, Latin America, Africa and South-East Asia. The disease is usually self-resolving, but exposure to a large inoculum or accompanying immune deficiencies may result in severe illness. Symptoms are unspecific with fever, cough and malaise as the most common.

Oil rich effluents are always a menance for many industries in the process of effluent treatment. The process usually requires more complex methods to resolve the issue to reach to disposable effluent standards. Enzymatic degradation was proved to be promising for the efficient treatment of oil rich effluents. Among the hydrolytic enzymes, lipases are the second most widely-used enzymes in industrial applications. A potential lipolytic fungus obtained from a marine soil sample exposed to oil spillage was identified as Aspergillus japonicus MF-1.

A leaf spot disease of Yucca plants is prevalent in India. They are native to the hot and dry parts of America and the Caribbean. Yucca is similar to agave but often forms trunks and typically has more numerous, thinner, leathery leaves with a smaller terminal spine. Yucca leaves range in color from deep green to pale blue, and leaves may be striped in shades of white, cream, yellow, or chartreuse. They are also used in pharmaceutical industries for medicinal properties When in flower yucca produces large, upright panicles (flower clusters) of white, bell-shaped flowers.
