Spores of Mucor ramosissimus, Mucor plumbeus and Mucor circinelloides and their ability to activate human complement system in vitro [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2009 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 ...

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2025.A multigenic strategy enhanced lipid production in a xylose‐utilising strain of Ashbya gossypii by boosting acetyl‐CoA and NADPH supply while blocking β‐oxidation. The engineered strain reached 60% oil content when grown on sugar mixtures simulating xylose‐rich feedstocks.

Identification of Filamentous Fungi: An Evaluation of Three MALDI‐TOF Mass Spectrometry Systems
Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Background Identification of filamentous fungi still poses a major challenge to laboratories. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) is a promising tool, since it offers low‐cost and fast results. Different MALDI‐TOF MS systems are available for routine laboratories.

Mechanisms of Microbial VOC‐Mediated Communication in Plant Ecosystems and Agricultural Applications
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.ABSTRACT Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) are crucial to the ecological interactions of plants and microbes, playing pivotal roles in plant defence, communication, and growth promotion. The classification, biosynthesis, and emission processes of mVOCs, and their multifaced functions and activities within plant ecosystems have been ...

Transcription of the three HMG-CoA reductase genes of Mucor circinelloides [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2014 Abstract Background Precursors of sterols, carotenoids, the prenyl groups of several proteins and other terpenoid compounds are synthesised via the acetate-mevalonate pathway. One of the key enzyme of this pathway is the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase, which catalyses the conversion of HMG-CoA to ...

Invasive Mould Infections Following Combat‐Related Injuries—A Retrospective Cohort Study
Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT Background Available data on combat wound‐related invasive mould infections (IMIs) are limited. Objectives We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of IMIs in casualties of a recent conflict. Patients/Methods A retrospective study including hospitalised patients with combat‐related injuries, fulfilling criteria for wound‐related ...

Microbial and insect oils: A sustainable approach to functional lipid
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 5-33, January 2025.Abstract The increasing global population, coupled with the effects of climate change on agricultural activities has spurred a demand for sustainable food production to meet human needs. In response to this, there has been a growing interest in sustainable food production initiatives. One of such initiatives is harnessing microbial and insect lipids as
