Genetic and structural validation of Aspergillus fumigatus UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase as a potential antifungal target [PDF]
, 2013 The sugar nucleotide UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is an essential metabolite in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In fungi, it is the precursor for the synthesis of chitin, an essential component of the fungal cell wall.

The influence of farming systems on the incidence of Aspergillus carbonarius in viticultural products [PDF]
, 2013 In viticulture, the most effective way to prevent or reduce the ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination of viticultural products is the control of ochratoxigenic fungal species, and especially Aspergillus carbonarius, the predominant produce of ochratoxin A ...

Aspergillus epiglottitis [PDF]
Cancer, 1983 A 21-year-old woman with acute lymphocytic leukemia developed clinical and radiographic signs of epiglottitis. Premortem and postmortem histologic studies showed invasive aspergillosis; Aspergillus flavus was grown in culture. The necrotizing nature of this infection is explained by the predilection of Aspergillus sp. for invasion of blood vessels. The

Aminopeptidase C of Aspergillus niger is a Novel Phenylalanine Aminopeptidase [PDF]
, 2003 A novel enzyme with a specific phenylalanine aminopeptidase activity (ApsC) from Aspergillus niger (CBS 120.49) has been characterized. The derived amino acid sequence is not similar to any previously characterized aminopeptidase sequence but does share ...

Studies in Mycology, 2013 The genus Aspergillus represents a diverse group of fungi that are among the most abundant fungi in the world. Germination of a spore can lead to a vegetative mycelium that colonizes a substrate. The hyphae within the mycelium are highly heterogeneous with respect to gene expression, growth, and secretion.
