The Forkhead Box Gene, MaSep1, Negatively Regulates UV- and Thermo-Tolerances and Is Required for Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Insect pathogenic fungi have shown great potential in agricultural pest control. Conidiation is crucial for the survival of filamentous fungi, and dispersal occurs through two methods: normal conidiation, where conidia differentiate from mycelium, and ...

The MaCreA Gene Regulates Normal Conidiation and Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
As a C2H2 type zinc finger transcription factor, CreA is the key in Carbon Catabolism Repression (CCR) pathway, which negatively regulates the genes in carbon sources utilization. As conidiation in filamentous fungi is affected by nutritional conditions,

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Functional and transcriptomic analyses in Neurospora crassa reveal a crucial role for the N‐glycoprotein deglycosylation process in fungal homeostasis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Neurospora crassa, a cytosolic GH18 endo‐β‐n‐acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) functions as an active deglycosylating enzyme. Deletion of this severely alters tolerance to multiple stress conditions and causes extensive transcriptomic reprogramming, including upregulation of a GH20 exo‐β‐n‐acetylhexosaminidase under ER stress, indicating that N. crassa

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

WC1/WC2–Sre1 Transcriptional Cascade Controls Predation and Chlamydospore Formation in the Nematode‐Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
Systematic functional characterization of all eight GATA‐type transcription factors in the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans reveals a novel, light‐independent WC1/WC2–Sre1 transcriptional cascade that orchestrates both trap formation and chlamydospore development, providing actionable targets for engineering superior biocontrol strains ...
