A standalone enzyme, derived from the reductase domain of a polyketide synthase‐nonribosomal peptide synthetase hybrid enzyme, is identified as a pyrroline carboxylate reductase. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of 3‐methylproline, an amino acid building block of a unique tricyclic pyrrolizidinone structure of a fungal metabolite ...

An investigation into the transcription factors and regulatory mechanisms of Aspergillus
Foodborne pathogen Aspergillus, a prevalent etiologic agent among filamentous fungi, are distinguished by a significant repertoire of transcription factors encoded within their genomes. These regulatory proteins are instrumental in orchestrating key biological processes, including cellular growth, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, mycotoxin production,

Farnesol increases the activity of echinocandins against Candida auris biofilms.
Candida auris biofilms exhibit decreased susceptibility to echinocandins, which is associated with poorer clinical outcomes. Farnesol is a quorum-sensing molecule enhancing the activity of antifungals; therefore, we evaluated the in vitro effect of ...

Breakthrough Candidemia Due to Multidrug-Resistant Candida glabrata during Prophylaxis with a Low Dose of Micafungin [PDF]
We identified a case of breakthrough candidemia in a 25-year-old patient receiving micafungin prophylaxis (50 mg/day). Five Candida glabrata isolates were obtained from blood cultures and were classified as multidrug-resistant isolates, since all of them
