Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Naganishia uzbekistanensis: Diagnostic Challenges and Antifungal Resistance Profile

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract summarizes the laboratory characterization of Naganishia uzbekistanensis strain CY11558. The isolate shows distinct colony morphology, globular yeast cells with a fibrillar surface network under scanning electron microscopy, and a weakly positive cryptococcal antigen reaction.

Production of heat-resistant blastospores by Cordyceps javanica IF-1106 through optimizing metal ions composition

open access: yesBiological Control
Heat tolerance of fungi is critical for field stability and efficacy of fungal insecticides. Components of the medium, such as carbon source, nitrogen source and metal ions, contribute to the thermotolerance of fungi.

Increased protein stability and decreased protein turnover in the Caenorhabditis elegans Ins/IGF-1 daf-2 mutant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In Caenorhabditis elegans, cellular proteostasis is likely essential for longevity. Autophagy has been shown to be essential for lifespan extension of daf-2 insulin/IGF mutants.

Forest type and leaf habit mediate thermal and drought tolerance across a tropical elevational gradient

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how local climate patterns select for thermal and drought tolerance traits is needed to predict differential responses to climate change across complex ecosystems.

Metabolic and Chaperone Gene Loss Marks the Origin of Animals: Evidence for Hsp104 and Hsp78 Sharing Mitochondrial Clients

open access: yes, 2015
The evolution of animals involved acquisition of an emergent gene repertoire for gastrulation. Whether loss of genes also co-evolved with this developmental reprogramming has not yet been addressed.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Oxygen availability strongly affects chronological lifespan and thermotolerance in batch cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2015
Stationary-phase (SP) batch cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which growth has been arrested by carbon-source depletion, are widely applied to study chronological lifespan, quiescence and SP-associated robustness.

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their
