Forays into Fungal Fighting and Mycological Moisture Modeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 As the impending consequences of climate change loom over the Earth, it has become vital for researchers to understand the role microorganisms play in this process. In this paper, we examine how environmental factors, including moisture levels and temperature, affect the expression of certain fungal characteristics on a microscale, and how these in ...

Protein markers for Candida albicans EVs include claudin-like Sur7 family proteins
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020 Background: Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated in host-pathogen and pathogen-pathogen communication in some fungal diseases. In depth research into fungal EVs has been hindered by the lack of specific protein markers such as those ...

Fungal effector proteins: past, present and future [PDF]
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2009 SUMMARYThe pioneering research of Harold Flor on flax and the flax rust fungus culminated in his gene‐for‐gene hypothesis. It took nearly 50 years before the first fungal avirulence (Avr) gene in support of his hypothesis was cloned. Initially, fungal Avr genes were identified by reverse genetics and map‐based cloning from model organisms, but ...

Computational universality of fungal sandpile automata [PDF]
, 2020 Hyphae within the mycelia of the ascomycetous fungi are compartmentalised by septa. Each septum has a pore that allows for inter-compartmental and inter-hyphal streaming of cytosol and even organelles. The compartments, however, have special organelles, Woronin bodies, that can plug the pores.

Application of anti-fungal vaccines as a tool against emerging anti-fungal resistance
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2023 After viruses and bacteria, fungal infections remain a serious threat to the survival and well-being of society. The continuous emergence of resistance against commonly used anti-fungal drugs is a serious concern.

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions
, 2019 In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.
