Saccharomyces cereviseae in all traditional fermented drinks [60], Wickerhamomyces anomalus inchubitchi and wanti in Garo hills [42] were also identified. A metagenomic approach in xaj-pitha of Assam revealed the presence of fungi Mucor circinelloides, Rhizopus delemar and Aspergillus sp., budding yeast Wickerhamomyces ciferrii, Meyerozyma guilliermondii, and Debaryomyces hansenii, yeasts Dekkera bruxellensis and Ogataea parapolymorpha besides the dominance of LAB, like Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus pseudomesenteroides, Leuconostoc lactis, Lactococcus lactis, Weissella paramesenteroides, and Weissella cibaria[11]. A study reported the isolation of Enterococcus sp. from fermented fish in Meghalaya [86], which produces bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties [6].

All in vitro studies have, understandably, focused on the activity of manogepix (the active moiety of fosmanogepix) (Figures 1 and 2). These studies have shown that manogepix is active against Candida spp. including C. auris (but inactive against C. krusei, also known as Pichia kudriavzevii), Cryptococcus spp. (C. neoformans, C. gattii), and Coccidioides spp. (C. immitis, C. posadasii) [11–15]. However, reduced susceptibility of C. albicans and C. parapsilosis to manogepix has been reported due to enhanced efflux pump expression [16]. Manogepix displayed potent in vitro activity against uncommon yeasts including Geotrichum clavatum, Yarrowia lipolytica, Aureobasidium pullulans, Blastobotrys adeninivorans, Lodderomyces elongisporus, Magnusiomyces capitatus, Ogataea siamensis, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Saprochaete clavata, Kodamaea ohmeri, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, while Trichosporon spp. and Pichia norvegensis were less susceptible to manogepix [17,18].
