Dermatophytes and hair: aspects of evolution of Arthrodermataceae [PDF]
, 2023 Abstract Dermatophytes and other members of Onygenales are unique in their ability to degrade keratin, affecting hair and nails, and in case of human hosts cause infection of the skin. Subtillisins are essential proteases in keratin assimilation, and subtilisin-like protease 1 (SUB1) and SUB3–7 are specific for dermatophytes.

Molecular biological and biochemical investigations on the biosynthesis of ergot alkaloids in fungi of the families Trichocomaceae and Arthrodermataceae [PDF]
, 2012 Ergot alkaloids are a complex family of indol derivatives with the typical tetracyclic ergoline ringsystem, which are produced by fungi of two different families, e.g. Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus), from the family Trichocomaceae, and Claviceps purpurea (C. purpurea), from the family Clavicipitaceae.
