Contributions of hyphae and hypha-co-regulated genes to Candida albicans virulence [PDF]
The fascinating ability of Candida albicans to undergo dramatic changes in cellular morphology has invited speculation that this plasticity in form contributes to the virulence of the organism. Molecular genetic analyses have confirmed this hypothesis and further demonstrated that genes that govern cellular morphology are co-regulated with genes ...

Unexpected Candidal Hyphae in Oral Mucosa Lesions—A Clinico-Pathological Study
Background: Oral mucosal biopsies might harbor candidal hyphae (CH) in the absence of any clinical signs or symptoms. Aim: To assess oral mucosa biopsies for the frequency of unexpected CH and characterize their clinico-pathological features.

The organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton and its role on nuclear dynamics in the multinucleate hyphae of "Ashbya gossypii" revealed by live cell imaging and electron microscopy [PDF]
Nuclear migration is important for normal growth and development of all eukaryotes including filamentous fungi. Among those, Ashbya gossypii, which is evolutionarily related to the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a particularly attractive ...

Summary: Evasion of killing by immune cells is crucial for fungal survival in the host. For the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, internalization by macrophages induces a transition from yeast to filaments that promotes macrophage death and fungal ...

Respiration supports intraphagosomal filamentation and escape of Candida albicans from macrophages
For the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, metabolic flexibility and the ability to transition between yeast and filamentous growth states are key virulence traits that enable disease in the host.

Growth model for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
In order to quantify the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to plant phosphorus nutrition, the development and extent of the external fungal mycelium and its nutrient uptake capacity are of particular importance.

1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...
