Identification and manipulation of Neurospora crassa genes involved in sensitivity to furfural
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019 Background Biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass are a viable alternative to fossil fuels required for transportation. Following plant biomass pretreatment, the furan derivative furfural is present at concentrations which are inhibitory to yeasts.

DCAF26, an adaptor protein of Cul4-based E3, is essential for DNA methylation in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 DNA methylation is involved in gene silencing and genome stability in organisms from fungi to mammals. Genetic studies in Neurospora crassa previously showed that the CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin ligase regulates DNA methylation via histone H3K9 trimethylation.

Histone H1 Limits DNA Methylation in Neurospora crassa
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Histone H1 variants, known as linker histones, are essential chromatin components in higher eukaryotes, yet compared to the core histones relatively little is known about their in vivo functions.

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The articulated genus Jania currently comprises 54 accepted species, making it the fourth most speciose genus among corallines, following Lithophyllum, Amphiroa, and Lithothamnion. Unlike these other genera, Jania is relatively easy to identify at a generic rank. However, morpho‐anatomical characters are insufficiently discriminant for species
