Sensing with Femtosecond Laser Filamentation
Sensors, 2022 Femtosecond laser filamentation is a unique nonlinear optical phenomenon when high-power ultrafast laser propagation in all transparent optical media. During filamentation in the atmosphere, the ultrastrong field of 1013–1014 W/cm2 with a large distance ...

Supercontinuum Induced by Filamentation of Bessel-Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian Beams in Water
Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2022 In this paper, we study the characteristics of the supercontinuum (SC) induced by the filamentation of two typical vortex beams (i.e., Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) and Bessel-Gaussian (BG) beams) in water.

Glutamine metabolic enzymes: to filament or not to filament? [PDF]
Biochem Soc TransAbstract The self-assembly of metabolic enzymes into filaments and other supramolecular structures is well-documented in bacteria and yeast but remains largely unexplored in mammalian cells. Enzyme filamentation is thought to play a crucial role in regulating metabolic networks by modulating enzymatic activity in response to cellular ...

GlcNAc induces GlcNAc catabolic genes and inhibits filamentation via YlRep1-YlNgs1 signaling in the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica [PDF]
mSphereMany fungal species can utilize N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) as a carbon source. Studies in the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans have revealed that GlcNAc utilization and the induction of GlcNAc catabolic genes depend on the Ndt80 family transcription ...

Functional divergence of a global regulatory complex governing fungal filamentation.
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Morphogenetic transitions are prevalent in the fungal kingdom. For a leading human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, the capacity to transition between yeast and filaments is key for virulence. For the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, filamentation

Impact of Candida albicans NDT80 and UME6 on biofilm formation and fluconazole susceptibility [PDF]
mSphereThe microbiome-associated fungus Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen. Virulence traits include its ability to produce biofilm, a surface-associated growth form that persists on mucosae and implanted medical devices. C.

The virulence regulator bvgS controls nutrient-induced filamentation in Bordetella avium [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyBacteria can change morphology in response to stressors and changes in their environment, including infection of a host. We previously identified the bacterial species, Bordetella atropi, which uses nutrient-induced filamentation as a novel mechanism for
