Genetic, structural, and functional characterization of allomelanin from black yeast Exophiala viscosa, a chassis for fungal melanin production

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Melanized fungi are known for their remarkable resilience to environmental stress, largely attributed to the protective properties of melanin. In this study, we establish the black yeast Exophiala viscosa as a non-pathogenic, genetically tractable model ...

Deep and disseminated dermatophytosis in immunocompromised populations—A systematic review

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Dermatophyte infections of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue (i.e. deep dermatophytosis)—associated with secondary complications including pseudomycetoma and systemic dissemination—affect vulnerable populations with primary or acquired immunodeficiencies.

Novel Anthraquinone Chlorination Contributes to Pigmentation and ATP Formation in Thermomyces dupontii

Microbial Biotechnology
Fungal pigments, particularly anthraquinones, play critical roles in food industrial applications due to their vivid hues and bioactive properties. Despite their significance, the functional mechanisms underlying pigment variation and their natural ...

Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n‐butyl acetate

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) undergo spontaneous disassembly after several hours of exposure to n‐butyl acetate (nBA). Images of the morphological changes were captured in time‐lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.

Surface properties and biofilm formation of a manufacturer‐reinforced, nanographene‐modified pre‐polymerized CAD‐CAM polymethylmethacrylate denture base material: An in vitro study

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the surface roughness, hydrophobicity, and Candida albicans biofilm formation of three denture base materials, including two computer‐aided design and computer‐aided manufacturing (CAD‐CAM) polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resins and one conventional heat‐polymerized PMMA, before and after thermocycling (TC).

α‐1,3‐Glucan Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Full Virulence of Colletotrichum graminicola, but Not for Evasion of PAMP‐Triggered Immunity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.

Plant genetic and root‐associated microbial diversity modulate Lactuca sativa responsiveness to a soil inoculum under phosphate deficiency

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Leaf phosphate and shoot biomass variation in response to the microbial consortium. Summary Microbial‐based approaches offer a promising strategy to decrease the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. Among them, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which extend root surface area and enhance phosphate uptake, and phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria ...

Efficacy of a Disposable Skin‐Stretch Closure Device Combined With Vacuum Sealing Drainage in the Treatment of Refractory Skin and Soft Tissue Defects: A Single‐Arm Prospective Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
The disposable skin stretch closure device effectively treats refractory skin and soft tissue defects and has a short wound closure time, minimal complications, and a simple procedure. ABSTRACT Objectives The treatment of refractory skin and soft tissue defects (RSSTDs) has long posed a global challenge for surgeons.
