A case of Beauveria bassiana keratitis confirmed by internal transcribed spacer and LSU rDNA D1–D2 sequencing

open access: yesNew Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014
Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

THE INHABITANTS OF A FUNGUS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Canadian Entomologist, 1892
In the forest-clad portions of the Pacific Coast Range, from the Columbia River northwards inot British Columbia, there are frequently seen on the trunks of pine trees which have been injured and blackened by fire, small white fungi almost globular, or slightly flattened and kidney shaped, varying much in size, but frequently attaining the dimensions ...

An immunomodulatory polysaccharide from blackberry seeds and its action on RAW 264.7 cells via activation of NF-κB/MAPK pathways

open access: yesFood and Agricultural Immunology, 2020
Currently there is tremendous interest in the discovery of natural polysaccharide immunomodulators for treating immune-related diseases. Herein, the immunomodulatory activities of a polysaccharide fraction isolated from blackberry seeds (BSP-2) were ...

A single fungal MAP kinase controls plant cell-to-cell invasion by the rice blast fungus

open access: yesScience, 2018
Keeping the channels open When the rice blast fungus enters a rice cell, the plasma membrane stays intact, so the rice cell remains viable. The fungus then moves to adjacent cells via plasmodesmata, the plant's intercellular channels.

Multiple evolutionary origins of the fungus causing Panama disease of banana: concordant evidence from nuclear and mitochondrial gene genealogies.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1998
Panama disease of banana, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, is a serious constraint both to the commercial production of banana and cultivation for subsistence agriculture. Previous work has indicated that F. oxysporum f.

Fungus-growing insects host a distinctive microbiota apparently adapted to the fungiculture environment

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Some lineages of ants, termites, and beetles independently evolved a symbiotic association with lignocellulolytic fungi cultivated for food, in a lifestyle known as fungiculture.

Structural Characterization and Anticoagulant Activity of a 3-O-Methylated Heteroglycan From Fruiting Bodies of Pleurotus placentodes

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Pleurotus placentodes, a fungus, belongs to the Pleurotaceae family. The aim of the present study was to characterize the structure of a novel polysaccharide from fruiting bodies of P. placentodes (PPp-W) and evaluate its anticoagulant activity in vitro.

Mathematical Modeling Analysis and Optimization of Fungal Diversity Growth [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
This paper studied the relationship between the decomposition rate of fungi and temperature, humidity, fungus elongation, moisture tolerance and fungus density in a given volume in the presence of a variety of fungi, and established a series of models to describe the decomposition of fungi in different states. Since the volume of soil was given in this

Insect pathogenic fungus interacts with the gut microbiota to accelerate mosquito mortality

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017
Significance As insecticide resistance is rapidly spreading, alternative tools for mosquito control are urgently needed. Beauveria bassiana is equally effective at killing insecticide-resistant and insecticide-susceptible mosquitoes. Better understanding
