Ssu72 Regulates Fungal Development, Aflatoxin Biosynthesis and Pathogenicity in Aspergillus flavus
Toxins, 2020 The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription process is coordinated by the reversible phosphorylation of its largest subunit-carboxy terminal domain (CTD). Ssu72 is identified as a CTD phosphatase with specificity for phosphorylation of Ser5 and Ser7 and

Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]
, 2018 Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely

Molecular identification of pathogenic fungi [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2008 Systemic fungal infections represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. The ever-increasing number of yeast species associated with human infections that are not covered by conventional identification kits, and the fact that moulds isolated from deep infections are frequently impossible to identify using classical ...

Autofluorescence of Pathogenic Fungi
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1964 Autofluorescence of pathogenic fungi was investigated. Smears were made from the surface of the growth on 4% glucose agar and were fixed by heating, absolute alcohol or formalin, and were placed under the fluorescence microscope. The fungi tested showed various kinds of autofluorescence.
