Serological analysis and pathogenic potentials of Wangiella dermatitidis isolated from bats
Five isolates of Wangiella dermatitidis from macroscopically asymptomatic bats were analysed by the agar-gel immunodiffusion tests and the mouse inoculation studies on virulence.

Nuclear division in temperature-sensitive multicellular mutants of Wangiella dermatitidis [PDF]
Temperature-sensitive morphological mutants of Wangiella dermatitidis were stained with mithramycin, a fluorescent nuclear stain. Multicellular forms of the mutants each contained two or more nuclei, documenting that nuclear division accompanied the yeast-to-multicellular form conversion.

Importance of calcium to the regulation of polymorphism inWangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis [PDF]
Critical steps implicated in the polymorphism of Wangiella dermatitidis were found to be sensitive to calcium ion availability. When grown in a defined, synthetic medium under various pH and temperature conditions, two thresholds of calcium ion concentrations were identified: a lower concentration favouring non-polarized growth leading to multicellular

Systemic Phaeohyphomycosis due to Exophiala (Wangiella) in an Immunocompetent Child
We report a rare case of systemic lymphadenitis and hepatic involvement due to Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis in a pediatric patient. An 8-year-old immunocompetent boy with chronic fever was examined through the use of sonography and CT scan which ...

Cloning and functional characterization of the WdSTUA and WdPACC genes of Wangiella dermatitidis [PDF]
To study the function of WdStuAp and WdPacCp in Wangiella dermatitidis, a black, polymorphic fungal pathogen of humans with yeast phase predominance, WdSTUA and WdPACC were cloned, sequenced, disrupted and expressed.

Yeast-phase cell cycle of the polymorphic fungus Wangiella dermatitidis [PDF]
The yeast-phase cell cycle of Wangiella dermatitidis was studied using flow microfluorimetry and the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU). Exposure of exponential-phase yeastlike cells to 0.1 M HU for 3 to 6 h resulted in the arrest of the cells in DNA synthesis and produced a nearly homogeneous population of unbudded cells.

Characterization of four septin genes, and detection of genetic interactions between WdCDC10 and chitin synthase genes during yeast budding in the polymorphic mold, Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis [PDF]
textSeptins are a highly conserved family of eukaryotic proteins having significant homology within and among species. In the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a septin-based hierarchy of proteins is required to localize chitin in the bud neck ...
