Transcriptome Study of an Exophiala dermatitidis PKS1 Mutant on an ex Vivo Skin Model: Is Melanin Important for Infection?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The black yeast Exophiala dermatitidis is a polyextremophilic human pathogen, especially known for growing in man-made extreme environments. Reported diseases caused by this fungus range from benign cutaneous to systemic infections with 40% fatality rate.

UVA photoactivation of harmol enhances its antifungal activity against the phytopathogens Penicillium digitatum and Botrytis cinerea [PDF]

, 2017
Phytopathogenic fungi responsible for post-harvest diseases on fruit and vegetables cause important economic losses. We have previously reported that harmol (1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-7-ol) is active against the causal agents of green and gray molds

Artificial environments for the co-translational stabilization of cell-free expressed proteins [PDF]

, 2013
An approach for designing individual expression environments that reduce or prevent protein aggregation and precipitation is described. Inefficient folding of difficult proteins in unfavorable translation environments can cause significant losses of ...

Harnessing Glutamicibacter sp. to Enhance Salinity Tolerance in the Obligate Halophyte Suaeda fruticosa

International Journal of Plant Biology
Salinization hinders the restoration of vegetation in salt-affected soils by negatively impacting plant growth and development. Halophytes play a key role in the restoration of saline and degraded lands due to unique features explaining their growth ...

Performance of the edible halophyte Cakile maritima under critical magnesium and potassium thresholds

Journal of Oasis Agriculture and Sustainable Development
In their natural biotope, plants are challenged with low nutrient availability which is one of the most important limiting factors for plant production. Nutrient limitation causes disruption in several metabolic pathways resulting in a decrease in plant
