Diversity of Fungal DNA Methyltransferases and Their Association With DNA Methylation Patterns [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a group of proteins that catalyze DNA methylation by transferring a methyl group to DNA. The genetic variation in DNMTs results in differential DNA methylation patterns associated with various biological processes.

Introduction of a bead beating step improves fungal DNA extraction from selected patient specimens
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2020 In immunocompromised patients a colonisation with fungi carries the risk to develop serious invasive fungal infection. An early detection is therefore important, but not optimal hitherto.

Comparison of methods for isolating fungal DNA
Practical Laboratory Medicine, 2021 Objectives: The main aim of this work was to compare the methods of DNA isolation in the moulds of genus Mucorales with special regard to the amount and purity of the DNA acquired. The acquired DNA was then amplified by specific real-time PCR.

The Impact of DNA Extraction Methods on Stool Bacterial and Fungal Microbiota Community Recovery
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Our understanding of human gut microbiota in health and disease depends on accurate and reproducible microbial data acquisition. The critical step in this process is to apply an appropriate methodology to extract microbial DNA, since biases introduced ...

Evaluating the Impact of DNA Extraction Method on the Representation of Human Oral Bacterial and Fungal Communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The application of high-throughput, next-generation sequencing technologies has greatly improved our understanding of the human oral microbiome. While deciphering this diverse microbial community using such approaches is more accurate than traditional ...

Comparison of methods for isolating fungal DNA [PDF]
Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2011 In this study methods of fungal DNA isolation were optimised and compared. The aim of the isolation processes was to obtain DNA of sufficient quality and quantity necessary for its amplification, as most detection techniques require DNA amplification ...

Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) as Dna Barcoding to Identify Fungal Species: a Review
Squalen, 2016 Despite the fact that fungi are important sources of both bioactive compounds and mycotoxins, and that they are very ubiquitous in our environment, their species identification is hampered by incomplete and often unclear literature.
