Spontaneous circadian rhythms in a cold-Adapted natural isolate of Aureobasidium pullulans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Indexación: Scopus.Circadian systems enable organisms to synchronize their physiology to daily and seasonal environmental changes relying on endogenous pacemakers that oscillate with a period close to 24 h even in the absence of external timing cues. The

Pulmonary immune responses to Aspergillus fumigatus in an immunocompetent mouse model of repeated exposures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Aspergillus fumigatus is a filamentous fungus that produces abundant pigmented conidia. Several fungal components have been identified as virulence factors, including melanin; however, the impact of these factors in a repeated exposure model resembling ...

Transposable element insertions shape gene regulation and melanin production in a fungal pathogen of wheat

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2018
Background Fungal plant pathogens pose major threats to crop yield and sustainable food production if they are highly adapted to their host and the local environment.

Characterization of melanin and optimal conditions for pigment production by an endophytic fungus, Spissiomyces endophytica SDBR-CMU319.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Melanin is a natural pigment that is produced by filamentous fungi. In this study, the endophytic species, Spissiomyces endophytica (strain SDBR-CMU319), produced a brown-black pigment in the mycelia.

Mathematical modeling predicts enhanced growth of X-ray irradiated pigmented fungi. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Ionizing radiation is known for its cytotoxic and mutagenic properties. However, recent evidence suggests that chronic sub-lethal irradiation stimulates the growth of melanin-pigmented (melanized) fungi, supporting the hypothesis that interactions ...

13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra of Fungal Melanins [PDF]

open access: yesZeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1978
Abstract The 13C resonance spectra of fungal melanins from Aspergillu sniger, Eurotium echinolatum , and Stachybotrys chartarum are reported. The spectra were taken in 5% W/W solution of the substances in 0.1 ɴ NaOD in D2O using the Fourier-transform-technique. The spectra and possible as­ signments of the bands are discussed.

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

open access: yesIndian 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 ...

Solubilized melanin suppresses macrophage function

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2019
Melanin‐producing Cryptococcus and Aspergillus are highly invasive and can suppress or escape the immune system of the host. Since non‐melanin‐producing strains do not affect the immune system, melanin may play a role in immune system suppression ...
