Carbohydrate utilization and metabolism is highly differentiated in Agaricus bisporus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Agaricus bisporus is commercially grown on compost, in which the available carbon sources consist mainly of plant-derived polysaccharides that are built out of various different constituent monosaccharides.

The Tricalbin-Family Endoplasmic Reticulum-Plasma Membrane Tethering Proteins Attenuate ROS-Involved Caspofungin Sensitivity in Candida albicans

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
The endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) contacts are one kind of important membrane contact structures in eukaryotic cells, which mediate material and message exchange between the ER and the PM.

RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

Fungal biofilm resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Fungal biofilm infections have become increasingly recognised as a significant clinical problem. One of the major reasons behind this is the impact that these have upon treatment, as antifungal therapy often fails and surgical intervention is required ...

The Fungal Cell Wall: Structure, Biosynthesis, and Function [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2017
ABSTRACTThe molecular composition of the cell wall is critical for the biology and ecology of each fungal species. Fungal walls are composed of matrix components that are embedded and linked to scaffolds of fibrous load-bearing polysaccharides. Most of the major cell wall components of fungal pathogens are not represented in humans, other mammals, or ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Cell wall stress depolarizes cell growth via hyperactivation of RHO1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Cells sense and physiologically respond to environmental stress via signaling pathways. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells respond to cell wall stress by transiently depolarizing the actin cytoskeleton.

Polysaccharides Cell Wall Architecture of Mucorales

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Invasive fungal infections are some of the most life-threatening infectious diseases in the hospital setting. In industrialized countries, the most common fungal species isolated from immunocompromised patients are Candida and Aspergillus spp.

Emergent Spinning and Orbital Motion in Clustered Wind‐Assisted Flyers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural snowflake geometries, paper‐cut flyers exhibit geometry‐defined spinning and orbital motions during cluster formation in a wind tunnel. Collective flights of multiple paperflakes reveal dynamic clustering, fragmentation, and continuously evolving spin behaviors.
