N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) triggers a rapid, temperature-responsive morphogenetic program in thermally dimorphic fungi. [PDF]
PLoS Genet, 2013 The monosaccharide N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is a major component of microbial cell walls and is ubiquitous in the environment. GlcNAc stimulates developmental pathways in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which is a commensal organism that ...

Journal of Fungi, 2020 The corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis serves as a model species for studying fungal dimorphism and its role in phytopathogenic development. The pathogen has two growth phases: a saprobic yeast phase and a pathogenic filamentous phase. Dimorphic transition

Isolation of fungi from nature in the region of Botucatu, state of São Paulo, Brazil, an endemic area of paracoccidioidomycosis [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996 In an attempt to isolate Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from nature 887 samples of soil from Botucatu, SP, Brazil, were collected cultured in brain heart infusion agar supplemented with dextrose, in potato dextrose agar and in yeast extract starch ...

Applications of Invertebrate Animal Models to Dimorphic Fungal Infections
Journal of Fungi, 2018 Dimorphic fungi can be found in the yeast form during infection and as hyphae in the environment and are responsible for a large number of infections worldwide.

Macrophage Infection by Dimorphic Fungi [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2012 Mammalian infection by dimorphic fungi occurs through the inhalation of asexual spores (conidia), which are phagocytosed by host pulmonary alveolar macrophages of the innate immune system.

A T-cell receptor transgenic mouse reactive with multiple systemic dimorphic fungi
Journal of Immunology, 2011 Dimorphic fungi collectively account for 5–10 million new infections annually worldwide. Ongoing efforts seek to clarify mechanisms of cellular resistance to these agents and develop vaccines.

Antifungal activity of rhamnolipids against dimorphic fungi.
The Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 2016 In this paper, rhamnolipids are investigated, for the first time, for their feasibility for inhibiting dimorphic fungi. Rhamnolipids were found to effectively inhibit a dimorphic fungus isolated from tomato plants which was identified as Mucor ...

Pulmonary Histoplasmosis, Taiwan, 1997–2024 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesPulmonary histoplasmosis has traditionally been considered geographically restricted to disease-endemic regions. Taiwan, historically nonendemic, has recently witnessed rising infections. We conducted a retrospective study by reviewing adult patients in

PLoS GeneticsThermal adaptability is a crucial characteristic for mammalian pathogenic fungi that originally inhabit natural ecosystems. Thermally dimorphic fungi have evolved a unique ability to respond to host body temperature by shifting from mycelia to yeast. The

Dimorphic Fungal Coinfection as a Cause of Chronic Diarrhea and Pancolitis [PDF]
Case Reports in Medicine, 2011 Histoplasma capsulatum and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis are dimorphic fungi that cause systemic mycosis mostly in tropical South America and some areas of North America.
