Identification of microRNA-like RNAs in mycelial and yeast phases of the thermal dimorphic fungus Penicillium marneffei. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
BACKGROUND: Penicillium marneffei is the most important thermal dimorphic fungus causing systemic mycosis in China and Southeast Asia. While miRNAs are increasingly recognized for their roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in ...

Cost-Effective Method for Identification of Dimorphic Fungi [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT Traditional methods to identify dimorphic fungi dictate that the mold be converted to the yeast phase at 35 to 37°C. We present a time- and cost-saving method of confirming the identification of a dimorph by using special stains to demonstrate the yeast phase directly growing in the original clinical specimens.

Key thermally dimorphic fungal pathogens: shaping host immunity

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2022
Exposure to fungal pathogens from the environment is inevitable and with the number of at-risk populations increasing, the prevalence of invasive fungal infection is on the rise. An interesting group of fungal organisms known as thermally dimorphic fungi

Cloning and disruption of the UeArginase in Ustilago esculenta: evidence for a role of arginine in its dimorphic transition

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Ustilago esculenta, a typical dimorphic fungus could infect Zizania latifolia and induce host stem swollen to form an edible vegetable called Jiaobai in China.

The Spectrum and Aetiology of Mycotic Infections from a Tertiary Care Hospital from Western Part of India [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013
Background: In the past few years, there has been an increase in infections caused by fungal aetiology. This is mainly due to increase in sizes of populations which are at risk. Also, fungi which were previously considered as non-pathogenic have been

The Zinc Finger Transcription Factor Fts2 Represses the Yeast-to-Filament Transition in the Dimorphic Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

open access: yesmSphere, 2022
The yeast-to-filament transition is an important cellular response to environmental stimulations in dimorphic fungi. In addition to activators, there are repressors in the cells to prevent filament formation, which is important to keep the cells in the ...

Fungal Dimorphism and Virulence: Molecular Mechanisms for Temperature Adaptation, Immune Evasion, and In Vivo Survival

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2017
The thermally dimorphic fungi are a unique group of fungi within the Ascomycota phylum that respond to shifts in temperature by converting between hyphae (22–25°C) and yeast (37°C).

A Moldy Application of MALDI: MALDI-ToF Mass Spectrometry for Fungal Identification

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2019
As a result of its being inexpensive, easy to perform, fast and accurate, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS) is quickly becoming the standard means of bacterial identification from cultures in ...
