Emergence of synchronised growth oscillations in filamentous fungi [PDF]
Abstract Soil fungi are important decomposers of organic matter and play crucial roles in the biogeochemical cycles in the soil. Many species of fungi grow in the form of branched networks. While there have been investigations on the growth and architecture of the fungal networks, their growth dynamics in space and ...

Role of Mitochondrial Retrograde Pathway in Regulating Ethanol-Inducible Filamentous Growth in Yeast. [PDF]
In yeast, ethanol is produced as a by-product of fermentation through glycolysis. Ethanol also stimulates a developmental foraging response called filamentous growth and is thought to act as a quorum-sensing molecule. Ethanol-inducible filamentous growth

Filamentous phages reduce bacterial growth in low salinities [PDF]
Being non-lytic, filamentous phages can replicate at high frequencies and often carry virulence factors, which are important in the evolution and emergence of novel pathogens. However, their net effect on bacterial fitness remains unknown.

NGT1 Is Essential for N-Acetylglucosamine-Mediated Filamentous Growth Inhibition and HXK1 Functions as a Positive Regulator of Filamentous Growth in Candida tropicalis. [PDF]
Candida tropicalis is a pathogenic fungus that can cause opportunistic infections in humans. The ability of Candida species to transition between yeast and filamentous growth forms is essential to their ability to undergo environmental adaptation and to ...

Adaptive response to oxidative stress in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger B1-D [PDF]
In the present study, we used a recombinant filamentous fungus strain, Aspergillus niger B1-D, as a model system, and investigated the antioxidant defences in this organism.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) that exceed the antioxidative capacity of the cell can be harmful and are termed oxidative stress. Increasing evidence suggests that ROS are not exclusively detrimental, but can fulfill important signaling functions ...

Improving Fungal Cultivability for Natural Products Discovery
The pool of fungal secondary metabolites can be extended by activating silent gene clusters of cultured strains or by using sensitive biological assays that detect metabolites missed by analytical methods.

The Regulation of Filamentous Growth in Yeast [PDF]
AbstractFilamentous growth is a nutrient-regulated growth response that occurs in many fungal species. In pathogens, filamentous growth is critical for host–cell attachment, invasion into tissues, and virulence. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes filamentous growth, which provides a genetically tractable system to study the molecular ...
