Interaction of phagocytes with filamentous fungi

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2010
Phagocytosis of conidia by macrophages and destruction of hyphae by neutrophils are key processes in the defense against infections caused by filamentous fungi. Impairment in phagocytic function leads to increased susceptibility for an infection with Aspergillus species. The fact that a Th1-based immune response to an infection with Aspergillus species

Population genetics of filamentous fungi

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1994
Population genetics aims to understand causes and consequences of the genetic structure of populations, i.e. distributions of genetic variants in space and time. Among the most important determinants of the genetic population structure is the genetic system itself, which is the collection of processes and mechanisms responsible for the transmission of ...

Morphology and productivity of filamentous fungi

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005
Cultivation processes involving filamentous fungi have been optimised for decades to obtain high product yields. Several bulk chemicals like citric acid and penicillin are produced this way. A simple adaptation of cultivation parameters for new production processes is not possible though.

Supernumerary chromosomes in filamentous fungi

Current Genetics, 1998
Within a fungal species, a subset of individuals may have more than the minimal complement of chromosomes. If the extra chromosomes are composed primarily of DNA not found in all representatives of the species, they are most appropriately referred to as supernumerary chromosomes.

Otomycosis due to Filamentous Fungi

Mycopathologia, 2011
Otomycosis is common throughout the world but barely studied in Spain. Our objective was to determine the microbiological and epidemiological characteristics of this pathology in Cadiz (Spain) between 2005 and 2010. Samples from patients with suspicion of otomycosis underwent a direct microscopic examination and culture on different media for fungi and

Flow Cytometry for Filamentous Fungi

2020
Flow cytometry is a powerful high-throughput method, which enables a fast and multi-parameter analysis of single cells and particles. A plethora of different dyes for flow cytometry are available to label different parts of a cell in addition to in vivo markers like fluorescent proteins.

Soilborne filamentous fungi in Brazil

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2005
The Atlantic Rainforest is a Brazilian ecosystem that is being rapidly being destroyed, along with the abiotic and biotic factors present in it. Among the biotic factors, the fungi are found in the soil which, besides being of major importance in terms of ecological niches, also have broad and significant applications in biotechnology.

Protoplast Transformation of Filamentous Fungi

2010
The protoplast method for the transformation of filamentous fungi is described in detail, as is the Restriction Enzyme-Mediated Integration (REMI) procedure for introducing tagged mutations into the fungal genome. A split marker method for generating PCR fragments for targeted integration and deletion of genes of interest is also detailed.

Genetic Engineering of Filamentous Fungi

Science, 1989
Filamentous fungi are important in medicine, industry, agriculture, and basic biological research. For example, some fungal species are pathogenic to humans, whereas others produce β-lactam antibiotics (penicillin and cephalosporin). Industrial strains produce large amounts of enzymes, such as glucosamylose and proteases, and low molecular weight ...

Modelling the growth of filamentous fungi

2005
Despite the considerable industrial importance of filamentous fungi there have been very few attempts to model the complex growth process of these microorganisms. With a new generation of high performance, computerized bioreactors and new analytical techniques it is possible to obtain the necessary experimental data for setting up reliable structured ...
