priority fungal pathogen. Some commercially available diagnostics for many forms of …

Germination of conidia is an essential process within the Aspergillus life cycle and plays a
major role during the infection of hosts. Conidia are able to avoid detection by the majority of …

Germination of inhaled Aspergillus fumigatus conidia is a necessary sequitur for infection.
Germination of conidia starts with the breaking of dormancy, which is initiated by an increase …

Inhibition of fungal growth by Congo red (CR) has been putatively associated with specific
binding to β-1, 3-glucans, which blocks cell wall polysaccharide synthesis. In this study, we …

The conserved MYST proteins form the largest family of histone acetyltransferases (HATs)
that acetylate lysines within the N-terminal tails of histone, enabling active gene …

Germination from conidia to hyphae and hyphal propagation of Aspergillus fumigatus are
the key pathogenic steps in the development of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). By …

The fungal cell is surrounded by a thick cell wall which obviously play an essential role in
the protection of the fungus against external aggressive environments. In spite of 50 years of …

Background Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is an extracellular fungal oxidoreductase
with multiple functions in plant biomass degradation. Its primary function as an auxiliary …

Earlier studies have shown that the outer layers of the conidial and mycelial cell walls of
Aspergillus fumigatus are different. In this work, we analyzed the polysaccharidome of the …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important airborne fungal pathogen and allergen of
humans causing high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The factors that govern …
