Cell fusion-related proteins <i>AoHam4, AoHam8 and AoPP2A</i> regulate hyphal fusion, conidiation, trap morphogenesis, and secondary metabolism in <i>Arthrobotrys oligospora</i>. [PDF]
The diverse mycelial networks of fungi are generated through polar growth, cell division, and cell fusion. Most of the genes are well characterized as crucial for cellular communication and fusion processes in filamentous fungi, but their functions and ...

Uncovering the biogeographic pattern of the widespread nematode-trapping fungi Arthrobotrys oligospora: watershed is the key [PDF]
Studies of biogeographic patterns of fungi have long been behind those of plants and animals. The presence of worldwide species, the lack of systematic sampling design and adequate sampling effort, and the lack of research units are responsible for this ...

Peroxin Pex14/17 Is Required for Trap Formation, and Plays Pleiotropic Roles in Mycelial Development, Stress Response, and Secondary Metabolism in Arthrobotrys oligospora. [PDF]
Peroxisome biogenesis genes (PEX) play an important role in growth, development, and pathogenicity in pathogenic fungi. However, the roles of PEX genes remain largely unknown in nematode-trapping (NT) fungi.

AoSte12 Is Required for Mycelial Development, Conidiation, Trap Morphogenesis, and Secondary Metabolism by Regulating Hyphal Fusion in Nematode-Trapping Fungus <i>Arthrobotrys oligospora</i>. [PDF]
Nematode-trapping (NT) fungi are an important natural enemy of nematodes and can capture their prey by producing traps. Hyphal anastomosis and fusion are important for mycelial growth and the colony morphological development of filamentous fungi and are ...

The fungistatic mechanism of benzaldehyde against the nematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora suggests a method for manipulating soil fungistasis [PDF]
Germination and growth of biocontrol microorganisms in soil are often inhibited by soil fungistasis (SF), resulting in unsatisfactory control efficacy. Therefore, exploring mechanisms underlying SF is important for developing efficient biocontrol agents.

The nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora detects prey pheromones via G protein-coupled receptors. [PDF]
The ability to sense prey-derived cues is essential for predatory lifestyles. Under low-nutrient conditions, Arthrobotrys oligospora and other nematode-trapping fungi develop dedicated structures for nematode capture when exposed to nematode-derived cues,

Arrestin-Coding Genes Regulate Endocytosis, Sporulation, Pathogenicity, and Stress Resistance in Arthrobotrys oligospora [PDF]
Arrestins are a family of scaffold proteins that play a crucial role in regulating numerous cellular processes, such as GPCR signaling. The Arthrobotrys oligospora arrestin family contains 12 members, which have highly conserved N-terminal and C-terminal

AoMae1 Regulates Hyphal Fusion, Lipid Droplet Accumulation, Conidiation, and Trap Formation in Arthrobotrys oligospora. [PDF]
Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) is a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and is essential for energy balance, growth, and tolerance to cold and salt stresses in plants. However, the role of MDH in filamentous fungi is still largely unknown.
