The fate of gene duplicates in the genomes of fungal pathogens [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2008 Understanding how molecular changes underlie phenotypic variation within and between species is one of the main goals of evolutionary biology and comparative genetics. The recent proliferation of sequenced fungal genomes offers a unique opportunity to start elucidating the extreme phenotypic diversity in the Kingdom Fungi.1-4 We attempted to ...

Anti-Biofilm Activity of Cannabidiol against Candida albicans
Microorganisms, 2021 Candida albicans is a common fungal pathogen in humans. Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor of C. albicans infections. We investigated the ability of the plant-derived cannabidiol (CBD) to inhibit the formation and removal of fungal ...

Fungal Identification Using Molecular Tools: A Primer for the Natural Products Research Community
Journal of Natural Products, 2017 Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for natural products researchers in their pursuit of discovering new chemical ...

Bidirectional cross-kingdom RNAi and fungal uptake of external RNAs confer plant protection
Nature Plants, 2016 Aggressive fungal pathogens such as Botrytis and Verticillium spp. cause severe crop losses worldwide. We recently discovered that Botrytis cinerea delivers small RNAs (Bc–sRNAs) into plant cells to silence host immunity genes.

Cocultivation of Anaerobic Fungi with Rumen Bacteria Establishes an Antagonistic Relationship
mBio, 2021 Anaerobic gut fungi (Neocallimastigomycetes) live in the digestive tract of large herbivores, where they are vastly outnumbered by bacteria. It has been suggested that anaerobic fungi challenge growth of bacteria owing to the wealth of biosynthetic genes
