Studies on the release of neutrophil extracellular traps and IFN-γ as part of the innate immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus and on the fungal stress response via the hybrid sensor kinase TcsC [PDF]
Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic mold that naturally inhabits the soil. Asexual reproduction yields hardy conidia that circulate in the air and are inhaled daily by humans.

Reverse line blot hybridization assay for identification of medically important fungi from culture and clinical specimens [PDF]
We evaluated a combined panfungal PCR-reverse line blot (RLB) hybridization assay based on internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 region polymorphisms to identify 159 Candida, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus isolates (22 species).

Biosynthesis of Territrems by Aspergillus terreus [PDF]
Different radioactive precursors were added to 8-day potato-dextrose liquid cultures of Aspergillus terreus 23-1. Territrems were isolated from chloroform extracts of the cultures at day 14 and purified by thin-layer chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography.

Mechanistic Insights Into the Biosynthesis of Pseurotin A in Aspergillus fumigatus
This study reveals the cryo‐EM structure of the PsoA, a key hybrid PKS‐NRPS enzyme in fungal secondary metabolism. The findings uncover a dimeric architecture and the specific PsoA–PsoF interaction and identify a dynamic loop in the KS domain that acts as a checkpoint for polyketide chain length and methylation timing, providing fundamental molecular ...

ABSTRACT Background Although Aspergillus fumigatus remains the primary cause of invasive aspergillosis, other species—including emerging cryptic ones—are increasingly identified in clinical settings. These species often exhibit distinct antifungal susceptibility profiles, emphasising the importance of species‐level identification for effective patient ...

Quorum sensing for improved production of industrially useful products from filamentous fungi [PDF]
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density dependant phenomena utilized as a communication process among microorganisms to regulate their physiological responses. QS depends on the production and release of low molecular weight, diffusible chemical signalling
