Fungi and Myxomycetes of the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico: A Comprehensive Review and Future Perspectives. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Tehuacán‐Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, spanning approximately 10,000 km2, is crucial for conserving arid and semi‐arid ecosystems, as it hosts unique endemic species and complex ecological interactions. Despite their environmental significance, fungi and myxomycetes in this region have been understudied, particularly those adapted

Abstract Myxomycetes (also called Myxogastria or colloquially, slime molds) are worldwide occurring soil amoeboflagellates. Among Amoebozoa, they have the notable characteristic to form, during their life cycle, macroscopic fruiting bodies, that will ultimately release spores.

Abstract Phagocytic cells ingest bacteria by phagocytosis and kill them efficiently inside phagolysosomes. The molecular mechanisms involved in intracellular killing and their regulation are complex and still incompletely understood. Dictyostelium discoideum has been used as a model to discover and to study new gene products involved in intracellular ...

Phylogenetic analysis of the SAP30 family of transcriptional regulators reveals functional divergence in the domain that binds the nuclear matrix [PDF]
Background: Deacetylation of histones plays a fundamental role in gene silencing, and this is mediated by a corepressor complex containing Sin3 as an essential scaffold protein. In this report we examine the evolution of two proteins in this complex, the

First record of a cold-period myxomycete species Dianema depressum (Lister) Lister in Poland
A myxomycete species, Dianema depressum is reported for the first time in Poland. It has been found in the Jaszowiec stream valley, localized in the Beskid Śląski Mts (the Carpathians) in November 2015. The cool period seems to be the typical time of the

Some observations of slime moulds on wood and litter of beech forests
The results of research into slime moulds in beech forest reserves in Central Poland are discussed. Thirty species of slime moulds directly associated with beech wood and beech litter were recorded. Species associated with different decay phases of beech

First records of Arcyria marginoundulata Nann.-Bremek. & Y. Yamam. (Myxomycetes) in Poland
A new to Poland species of a myxomycete, Arcyria marginoundulata, was found at two distant localities in the southern part of the country. Polish specimens are typical and have all important features characteristic of the species: minute, grey, stipitate

Data Mining of the Coffee Rust Genome [PDF]
The genomes of nine isolates of _Hemileia vastatrix_, the causal agent of coffee leaf rust were sequenced by Illumina and 454. Quality control, cleaning and _de novo_ assemblies of data were performed.

Background Proteins containing FERM domains comprise a diverse group of eukaryotic proteins that bind membrane proteins and lipids. In doing so, they organise membrane microstructure, and coordinate the disposition of signalling and cell adhesion ...
