Expression of active mucor miehei aspartic protease in Mucor circinelloides [PDF]
The gene encoding the aspartic protease in the mold Mucor miehei was isolated and a vector, pMA67, was constructed to allow expression of this gene in Mucor circinelloides. pMA67 contained the Amp gene for selection in E. coli, a Leu+ gene for selection in M. circinelloides and the M. miehei aspartic prepro-protease gene.

A new species concept for the clinically relevant Mucor circinelloides complex
Mucor species are common soil fungi but also known as agents of human infections (mucormycosis) and used in food production and biotechnology. Mucor circinelloides is the Mucor species that is most frequently isolated from clinical sources.

Spores of Mucor ramosissimus, Mucor plumbeus and Mucor circinelloides and their ability to activate human complement system in vitro [PDF]
Complement activation by spores of Mucor ramosissimus, Mucor plumbeus and Mucor circinelloides was studied using absorbed human serum in the presence or absence of chelators (EGTA or EDTA). We found that the spore caused full complement activation when incubated with EGTA-Mg2+ or without chelators, indicating that the alternative pathway is mainly ...

Subcutaneous mycoses in a tertiary care hospital in India: Pathologist’s perspective
Background: Subcutaneous mycoses, a disease of the tropics, are usually missed or misdiagnosed in immunocompetent individuals unless sought for. The study was designed to explore the experience of diagnosing subcutaneous mycoses by histopathological ...

Cellulolysis by Mucor pusillus [PDF]
Culture filtrates of Mucor pusillus NRRL 2543 contained hydrolytic enzymes that attacked native cellulose, acid-swollen cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, and cellobiose. The distribution profiles of cellulolytic and β-glucosidase activities after gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 showed the presence of several active

Zygospore Formation in Mucors [PDF]
SINCE the discovery of heterothallism, or separate sexes, in Mucors by Blakeslee some twenty-five years ago, the conception has been widely extended in the fungi and has recently been applied to the green algae. But in recent years the facts regarding multiple sexes in fungi have become so complex as to strain credulity, and new views, such as Dame ...
