Screening and Molecular Docking of Novel Benzothiazole Derivatives as Potential Antimicrobial Agents
Antibiotics, 2020 The burden of antibiotic resistance necessitates a continued search for new antimicrobials. We evaluated the antimicrobial activities of novel benzothiazoles synthesized by our group. Antibacterial activity was evaluated in vitro in Staphylococcus aureus,

Sexual dimorphism in aipysurine sea snakes (Elapidae, Hydrophiinae)
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 The transition from terrestrial to aquatic life by hydrophiine elapid snakes modified targets of natural selection and likely affected sexual selection also. Thus, the shift to marine life also might have affected sexual dimorphism.

Identification of factors involved in dimorphism and pathogenicity of Zymoseptoria tritici. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 A forward genetics approach was applied in order to investigate the molecular basis of morphological transition in the wheat pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. Z.

Journal of Fungi, 2023 Beauveria bassiana is a dimorphic and entomopathogenic fungus with different ecological roles in nature. In pathogenic fungi, yeast-to-mycelial conversion, which is controlled by environmental factors, is required for virulence.

In vivo yeast cell morphogenesis is regulated by a p21-activated kinase in the human pathogen Penicillium marneffei. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 Pathogens have developed diverse strategies to infect their hosts and evade the host defense systems. Many pathogens reside within host phagocytic cells, thus evading much of the host immune system.

Updates in Paracoccidioides Biology and Genetic Advances in Fungus Manipulation
Journal of Fungi, 2021 The dimorphic fungi of the Paracoccidioides genus are the causative agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). This disease is endemic in Latin America and primarily affects workers in rural areas.

Identification of the transcription factor Znc1p, which regulates the yeast-to-hypha transition in the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is used as a model to study fungal differentiation because it grows as yeast-like cells or forms hyphal cells in response to changes in environmental conditions.
