31P Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of Growth and Dimorphic Transition in Candida albicans [PDF]
Microbiology, 1983 A 31P NMR study of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans was carried out. Yeast-form cells at different phases of growth, as well as germ tubes and hyphae were examined. In all cases, the NMR spectra showed well separated resonance peaks arising from phosphorus-containing metabolites, the most prominent being attributable to inorganic phosphate (Pi ...

Mediators 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).

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.

Mycelial- to yeast-phase transitions of the dimorphic fungi Blastomyces dermatitidis and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1987 The physiological changes that occur during the mycelial- to yeast-phase transitions induced by a temperature shift from 25 to 37 degrees C of cultures of Blastomyces dermatitidis and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis can be divided into three stages. The triggering event is a heat-related insult induced by the temperature shift which results in partial ...

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.

Interaction of Talaromyces marneffei with free living soil amoeba as a model of fungal pathogenesis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Talaromyces (Penicillium) marneffei is an important dimorphic mycosis endemic in Southeast Asia and Southern China, but the origin and maintenance of virulence traits in this organism remains obscure.

Dimorphism of Trichosporon cutaneum and impact on its lipid production
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019 Background Compared to the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, Trichosporon cutaneum can metabolize pentose sugars more efficiently, and in the meantime is more tolerant to inhibitors, which is suitable for lipid production from lignocellulosic biomass.

N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) triggers a rapid, temperature-responsive morphogenetic program in thermally dimorphic fungi. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 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 ...
