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

open access: yesMycology, 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 (

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.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
