A Possible Involvement of Sialidase in the Cell Response of the Antarctic Fungus <i>Penicillium griseofulvum</i> P29 to Oxidative Stress. [PDF]
Life (Basel)Sialidases/neuraminidases remove terminal sialic acid residues from glycoproteins, glycolipids, and oligosaccharides. Our previous research has revealed the distribution of sialidase in non-clinical fungal isolates from different ecological niches ...

Regulation of sialidase production in Clostridium perfringens by the orphan sensor histidine kinase ReeS. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Clostridium perfringens is ubiquitous in nature and is often found as a commensal of the human and animal gastrointestinal tract. It is the primary etiological agent of clostridial myonecrosis, or gas gangrene, a serious infection that results in ...
