Immunoproteomic and Immunopeptidomic Analyses of Histoplasma capsulatum Reveal Promiscuous and Conserved Epitopes Among Fungi With Vaccine Potential

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
As there are more than 6 million human deaths due to mycoses each year, there is an urgent need to develop fungal vaccines. Moreover, given the similarities among pathogenic fungi, it may be possible to create a multi-fungi vaccine.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Interactions between lactobacillus and yeast: A recent update

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Lactobacillus and yeast are microorganisms widely distributed in nature. Their interactions significantly impact fermentation processes, human health, and medical care. However, there is a lack of a systematic summary of the characteristics of these interactions, and the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear.

The assembly of floral fungal communities in multihabitat landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
The extent to which deterministic versus stochastic processes assemble floral fungal communities remains an ongoing ecological question. Three classic hypotheses from ecological theory that may contribute to floral fungal community assembly are: (H1) species sorting and environmental filtering when fungal community composition differs by plant species,

Systematics and enzymatic activity of Foliar ascomycetes (Fungi) on Lepidozamia peroffskyana and Macrozamia lucida in Eastern Australia

, 2021
The kingdom Fungi is deeply entangled in the evolutionary history and ecology of life on Earth. The diversity of fungi is poorly known with only 150,000 species described from at least 4 million species by most estimates.

Aspartic Protease Inhibition Induces Proteomic Remodeling in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a major systemic mycosis in Latin America caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, yet the contribution of aspartic proteases to fungal physiology and pathogenicity remains poorly understood. Here, we employed data‐independent acquisition (DIA)‐based quantitative proteomics to investigate the impact of pepstatin

Spatial Gene Expression in Fungi: mRNA Localization, Condensates, and Beyond

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polarized growth and cellular asymmetry are broadly conserved properties of fungal life, from transient bud‐site selection in unicellular yeasts to sustained hyphal extension in filamentous and coenocytic species. While vesicle trafficking, cytoskeletal organization, and cell‐wall remodeling are well‐established contributors to these processes,

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...

Epidemiology and Geographic Distribution of Blastomycosis, Histoplasmosis, and Coccidioidomycosis, Ontario, Canada, 1990–2015

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Endemic mycoses represent a growing public health challenge in North America. We describe the epidemiology of 1,392 microbiology laboratory–confirmed cases of blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis in Ontario during 1990–2015 ...
