Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Ga and Gß Proteins Regulate the Cyclic AMP Pathway That Is Required for Development and Pathogenicity of the Phytopathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola [PDF]

We identified and functionally characterized genes encoding three G alpha proteins and one G beta protein in the dimorphic fungal wheat pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola, which we designated MgGpa1, MgGpa2, MgGpa3, and MgGpb1, respectively.

Nutritional Requirements and Their Importance for Virulence of Pathogenic Cryptococcus Species [PDF]

, 2017
Cryptococcus sp. are basidiomycete yeasts which can be found widely, free-living in the environment. Interactions with natural predators, such as amoebae in the soil, are thought to have promoted the development of adaptations enabling the organism to ...

Oral Cryptococcosis due to Naganishia diffluens in a Patient With Thalassemia: A Case Report and a Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Naganishia diffluens, a rare non‐neoformans cryptococcal species, was identified by PCR sequencing as the causative agent of oral cryptococcosis in a 31‐year‐old Iranian man with β‐thalassemia. This case represents the first documented instance of oral infection by N.

Synthesis and role of melanin for tolerating in vitro rumen digestion in Duddingtonia flagrans, a nematode-trapping fungus

Mycology, 2019
We describe the synthesis and a function of melanin in Duddingtonia flagrans, a nematode-trapping fungus. We tested various culture media treated with L-DOPA, glucose and tricyclazole on fungal growth and melanin distribution using infrared spectroscopy (
