Streptococcus mutans suppresses filamentous growth of Candida albicans through secreting mutanocyclin, an unacylated tetramic acid [PDF]
Virulence, 2022 Fungi and bacteria often co-exist and physically or chemically interact with each other in their natural niches. This inter-kingdom species interaction is exemplified by the gram-positive bacterial pathogen Streptococcus mutans and opportunistic fungal ...

Aggregate Filamentous Growth Responses in Yeast [PDF]
mSphere, 2019 Many fungal species, including pathogens, undergo a morphogenetic response called filamentous growth, where cells differentiate into a specialized cell type to promote nutrient foraging and surface colonization.

Divergent Roles for cAMP–PKA Signaling in the Regulation of Filamentous Growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces bayanus [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 The cyclic AMP – Protein Kinase A (cAMP–PKA) pathway is an evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic signaling network that is essential for growth and development.

Two distinct lipid transporters together regulate invasive filamentous growth in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Flippases transport lipids across the membrane bilayer to generate and maintain asymmetry. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans has 5 flippases, including Drs2, which is critical for filamentous growth and phosphatidylserine (PS) distribution ...

YlAaf1-YlAaf2, a bipartite SANT domain-containing complex of transcriptional activator, promotes filamentous growth in the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica [PDF]
mSphereThe yeast-to-filament transition is important for dimorphic fungi to adapt to different environmental conditions. Transcriptional activators that activate downstream target genes in response to environmental stimulations are particularly important for ...

Variation in Filamentous Growth and Response to Quorum-Sensing Compounds in Environmental Isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 In fungi, filamentous growth is a major developmental transition that occurs in response to environmental cues. In diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is known as pseudohyphal growth and presumed to be a foraging mechanism.

MAPK Signaling Pathway May Directly Regulate the Expression of Hydrophobin Genes in Flammulina filiformis [PDF]
Journal of FungiFungal hydrophobins reduce the surface tension of hyphae so that hyphae can grow into the air. Reduced expression of hydrophobin genes results in abnormal morphogenesis of both hyphae and the fruiting body of Flammulina filiformis.
