Conidial fungi associated with leaf litter of red cedar (Cedrela odorata) in Belém, Pará (eastern Brazilian Amazon) [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the species of conidial fungi associated with leaf litter of Cedrela odorata (Meliaceae), an endangered red cedar species typical of Amazonian terra-firme forests. Conidial fungi were sampled around C.

Autophagy safeguards conidial environmental persistence in filamentous fungi

Autophagy Reports, 2023
Conidiation mechanism confers filamentous fungus efficient dispersal and survival in natural habitats. However, the mechanisms that regulate conidial lifespan and persistence remain enigmatic.

A higher altitude enclave of humid forest in the semi-arid of Brazil holds a diversity of conidial fungi on leaf-litter [PDF]

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022
Brejos de Altitude are enclaves of higher altitude humid forests in the semiarid lowlands of the North-eastern of Brazil. They present unique characteristics in terms of soil and air humidity, temperature, vegetation cover, and biodiversity. Due to these

The Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana Employs Autophagy as a Persistence and Recovery Mechanism during Conidial Dormancy

mBio, 2023
Many filamentous fungi develop a conidiation process as an essential mechanism for their dispersal and survival in natural ecosystems. However, the mechanisms underlying conidial persistence in environments are still not fully understood. Here, we report

Cuticular Lipids as a First Barrier Defending Ixodid Ticks against Fungal Infection

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The chemical composition of tick cuticles acts as a barrier to pathogens and may limit infection by entomopathogenic fungi. This study characterized the cuticular neutral lipids (NL) and hydrocarbons (HCs) of four ixodid ticks that are widely distributed

A Simple and Low-Cost Strategy to Improve Conidial Yield and Stress Resistance of Trichoderma guizhouense through Optimizing Illumination Conditions

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Light is perceived by photoreceptors in fungi and further integrated into the stress-activated MAPK HOG pathway, and thereby potentially activates the expression of genes for stress responses.

HapX, an Indispensable bZIP Transcription Factor for Iron Acquisition, Regulates Infection Initiation by Orchestrating Conidial Oleic Acid Homeostasis and Cytomembrane Functionality in Mycopathogen Beauveria bassiana

mSystems, 2020
In pathogenic filamentous fungi, conidial germination not only is fundamental for propagation in the environment but is also a critical step of infection.

Functional Analysis of Keto-Acid Reductoisomerase ILVC in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium robertsii

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Ketol-acid reductoisomerase (ILVC) is the second enzyme in the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) biosynthesis, which regulates many physiological activities in a variety of organisms from bacteria to fungi and plants.

The novel spore-specific regulator SscA controls Aspergillus conidiogenesis

mBio, 2023
A major group of fungi produces asexual spores (conidia) for dissemination and propagation and, in pathogenic fungi, for infection. Despite the critical role of conidia, the underlying mechanism of spore formation, integrity, and viability is not fully ...

Production of conidia using different culture media modifies the virulence of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhiziumys against Aedes aegypti larvae

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2021
Background & objectives: Entomopathogenic fungi are being investigated for the biological control of a range of mosquitoes. Metarhizium conidiospores (conidia) effectively kill Aedes aegypti larvae and could be deployed as an alternative to chemical ...
