Filamentous ascomycetes fungi as a source of natural pigments
Fungal Biology and Biotechnology, 2017 Filamentous fungi, including the ascomycetes Monascus, Fusarium, Penicillium and Neurospora, are being explored as novel sources of natural pigments with biological functionality for food, feed and cosmetic applications.

European Journal of Entomology, 2010 The prevalence of obligate parasitic fungi may depend partly on the environmental conditions prevailing in the habitats of their hosts. Ectoparasitic fungi of the order Laboulbeniales (Ascomycetes) infect arthropods and form thalli on the host's body ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 We report a metabarcoding study documenting the fungal taxa in 29 barren fellfield soils sampled from along a 1,650 km transect encompassing almost the entire maritime Antarctic (60–72°S) and the environmental factors structuring the richness, relative ...

Bis-naphthopyrone pigments protect filamentous ascomycetes from a wide range of predators
Nature Communications, 2019 It is thought that fungi protect themselves from predation by the production of compounds that are toxic to soil-dwelling animals. Here, we show that a nontoxic pigment, the bis-naphthopyrone aurofusarin, protects Fusarium fungi from a wide range of ...

Emergent Ascomycetes in Viticulture: An Interdisciplinary Overview
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The reduction of pesticide usage is a current imperative and the implementation of sustainable viticulture is an urgent necessity. A potential solution, which is being increasingly adopted, is offered by the use of grapevine cultivars resistant to its ...

Mycorrhizal association of Terfezia claveryi with several Cistaceae plant species [PDF]
رستنیها, 2023 Desert truffles are hypogeous edible fungi from the Ascomycetes group that grow in arid and semi-arid areas of the Mediterranean region, including Iran. In addition to the economic role, they also play an important role in preserving and maintaining the ...

A contribution to the knowledge of ascomycetes in eastern Serbia
Biologica Nyssana, 2018 Mycological field research conducted from 2015 - 2018 in the eastern part of Serbia resulted with a registration of a new data on 9 insufficiently known or new ascomycetes for the country: Cordyceps militaris, Ophiocordyceps gracilis, Peziza phyllogena ...

Journal of Fungi, 2023 Gene fusion is a process through which two or more distinct genes are fused into a single chimeric gene. Unlike most harmful fusion genes in cancer cells, in this study, we first found that spermidine synthetase- (SPDS, catalyst of spermidine ...

Genetics, 2019 Many filamentous ascomycetes develop three-dimensional fruiting bodies for production and dispersal of sexual spores. Fruiting bodies are among the most complex structures differentiated by ascomycetes; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this ...
