Fungi and cancer

Gut, 2023
The microbiome may impact cancer development, progression and treatment responsiveness, but its fungal components remain insufficiently studied in this context. In this review, we highlight accumulating evidence suggesting a possible involvement of commensal and pathogenic fungi in modulation of cancer-related processes.

Dematiaceous fungi

Mycoses, 2004
SummaryDematiaceous fungi are responsible for a wide variety of infectious syndromes. They are often found in soil and generally distributed worldwide. This suggests that most if not all individuals are exposed to them, presumably from inhalation or trauma. In recent years, these fungi have been increasingly recognised as important pathogens.

Mitosis in fungi

Biosystems, 1975
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the ultrastructure of vegetative nuclear division, that is, mitosis in fungi and closely related groups. Mitotic divisions occurring in the vegetative phase of the fungi are essentially the same as in higher organisms, although the details are frequently obscured by the small size of the nuclei.

Melanin and fungi

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2003
Production of melanin has been associated with virulence in diverse microorganisms. Melanization of fungi has been noted for many years in predominantly subcutaneous infections such as chromoblastomycosis and more recently most extensively studied in a yeast causing systemic infection, Cryptococcus neoformans. Pigmented fungi are increasingly important

Fighting Fungi with Fungi

BioScience, 1987
In Italy, 15 years after blight devastated the country's chestnut groves, cytoplasmic factors began to undermine the virulence of the blight-causing fungus. Today dense chestnut stands are once again serving as a valuable timber source. In France, mycologists are successfully using fungal strains carrying these same factors to cure blight in their ...

A thioglucosidase in fungi

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1958
Abstract A β-thioglucosidase capable of hydrolyzing mustard oil glucosides is of rare occurrence in fungi. Aspergillus sydowi QM 31c is a good source of the enzyme. The fungal enzyme resembles mustard seed myrosinase. Both enzymes degrade sinigrin producing glucose, KHSO4, and allyl isothiocyanate.

Graviresponses in fungi

Advances in Space Research, 1996
Although the orientation of mycelial hyphal growth is usually independent of the gravity vector, individual specialised hyphae can show response to gravity. This is exemplified by the sporangiophore of Phycomyces, but the most striking gravitropic reactions occur in mushroom fruit bodies.
