Characterization of an EPS-Enriched Emulsifying Extracellular Fraction Produced by a Brazilian Strain of Vreelandella zhaodongensis

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) are structurally diverse biopolymers with ecological and biotechnological relevance due to their physicochemical and functional properties, including emulsification, metal chelation, and contributions to biofilm formation. In this study, an EPS-...

Fungar: a pipeline for detecting antifungal resistance mutations directly from metagenomic short reads

Abstract Background Antifungal resistance has become an increasing global concern in both clinical and environmental health. Detecting known resistance mutations directly from metagenomic short-read sequencing data remains a major challenge. Most available tools are designed for...
