Aquaporins in yeasts and filamentous fungi [PDF]

Biology of the Cell, 2005
Recently, genome sequences from different fungi have become available. This information reveals that yeasts and filamentous fungi possess up to five aquaporins. Functional analyses have mainly been performed in budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has two orthodox aquaporins and two aquaglyceroporins.

Evaluation of the Autof ms1000 mass spectrometry for rapid clinical identification of filamentous fungi

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has revolutionized microbial identification. However, there is a lack of data on its performance in identifying filamentous fungi. The objective of our

Quorum sensing for improved production of industrially useful products from filamentous fungi [PDF]

, 2014
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density dependant phenomena utilized as a communication process among microorganisms to regulate their physiological responses. QS depends on the production and release of low molecular weight, diffusible chemical signalling

Virulence potential of filamentous fungi isolated from poultry barns in Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2011
Opportunistic fungi are those that normally would not cause diseases in otherwise healthy people, but are able to cause problems under some circumstances, and for this they need to possess a certain virulence potential. The objective of this study was to

Hydrophobins in Bipolaris maydis do not contribute to colony hydrophobicity, but their heterologous expressions alter colony hydrophobicity in Aspergillus nidulans

Frontiers in Fungal Biology
Hydrophobins are small amphiphilic proteins secreted by filamentous fungi. These proteins confer hydrophobic properties to the hyphae and conidia.

Diagnostic utility of melanin production by fungi: Study on tissue sections and culture smears with Masson-Fontana stain

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2014
Background: Dematiaceous fungi appear brown in tissue section due to melanin in their cell walls. When the brown color is not seen on routine H and E and culture is not available, differentiation of dematiaceous fungi from other fungi is difficult on ...
