The Hemoprotein Hhy1 Promotes Heme‐Dependent Catalase Activity of Ctt1
A Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain deficient in heme (hem1Δ) and siderophore (Fc) biosynthesis, as well as high‐affinity iron (Fe) uptake (blue), was used to uncover the hemoprotein Hhy1 that promotes the heme‐dependent activity of the catalase Ctt1. In contrast, hhy1Δ cells exhibit reduced Ctt1 activity and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress ...

Genome sequence of the plant growth promoting endophytic yeast Rhodotorula graminis WP1. [PDF]
Cryptococcus spp. are responsible for around one million cases of meningitis every year. Fluconazole (FLU) is commonly used in the treatment of cryptococcosis, mainly in immunocompromised patients and the resistance is usually reported after long periods

Bloodstream yeast infections: a 15-month survey [PDF]
A 15-month survey of 412 bloodstream yeast isolates from 54 Belgian hospitals was undertaken. Candida albicans was the most common species (47.3%) followed by C. glabrata (25.7%), C. parapsilosis (8.0%), C. tropicalis (6.8%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (

Ustilago maydis secreted lipase, Lip3 targets PA and PS and alkalinises the host apoplast, thus promoting virulence. Loss of Lip3 results in reduced apoplastic pH and decreased pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Lipases constitute important virulence factors. By targeting specific lipids involved in various cellular processes, lipases regulate growth, development,

Ultrastructure of Cryptococcus neoformans
The ultrastructure of C. neoformans was studied in two cases of cutaneous cryptococcosis. Extracellular and intracellular fungi were observed. Their capsules and clear zones were thick and distinct, but their cytoplasmic organelles were not obvious. In macrophages, a few stages of fungal degeneration could be observed.

Metalloids: Semi as Metals yet Full of Antimicrobial Potential
Metalloids such as boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and tellurium (Te) bridge metals and non‐metals, displaying unique chemical versatility. Recent research highlights their diverse antimicrobial and therapeutic potentials, from natural products to synthetic organic and organometallic molcules, underscoring renewed ...

Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems
Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.

ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic
