Life on a leaf: the epiphyte to pathogen continuum and interplay in the phyllosphere. [PDF]
BMC BiolEpiphytic microbes are those that live for some or all of their life cycle on the surface of plant leaves. Leaf surfaces are a topologically complex, physicochemically heterogeneous habitat that is home to extensive, mixed communities of resident and ...

Microcycle Conidiation in Cercospora zeae-maydis [PDF]
Phytopathology®, 2003 Conidia of Cercospora zeae-maydis are the primary inoculum causing gray leaf spot of maize. On nutrient-deficient substrates, but not on water on the leaf surface, conidia germinate and develop secondary conidia on conidiophores produced from germ tubes or conidial cells. A population of conidia increases its numbers more than twofold by 2 days on the

Polyamines as Modulators of Microcycle Conidiation in Aspergillus Flavus [PDF]
Microbiology, 1996 Since polyamines (PAs) play a potential role in the regulation of growth and developmental processes in a wide variety of organisms, we have examined the influence of the PAs putrescine (Put) and spermidine (Spd) and the PA biosynthetic inhibitors α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), α-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone ...

Lethal effects of high intensity violet 405-nm light on saccharomyces cerevisiae, candida albicans and on dormant and germinating spores of aspergillus niger [PDF]
, 2013 This study assessed the effects of high-intensity violet light on selected yeast and mould fungi. Cell suspensions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, and dormant and germinating spores (conidia) of the mould Aspergillus niger were exposed to ...

Ultrastructural changes during microcycle conidiation of Aspergillus niger
Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1980 Microcycle conidiation of Aspergillus niger was examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Internal cellular organization during the microcycle was monitored. Cell wall structure varied throughout the microcycle: the giant cell wall was seen to be exceptionally thick, while that of the conidiophore had a thickness comparable to hyphae ...
