Lectins in human pathogenic fungi.
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins widely distributed in nature. They constitute a highly diverse group of proteins consisting of many different protein families that are, in general, structurally unrelated. In the last few years, mushroom and other fungal lectins have attracted wide attention due to their antitumour, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities. The present mini-re...
متن کاملEcology of Hypogeous Fungi Associated with Ponderosa Pine
Seasonal abundance and distribution of hypogeous fungi associated with selected stands of ponderosa pine on the Coconino and Kaibab Plateaus, Arizona, were examined using a new method that reduced the time and area needed to sample nonrandomly dispersed fungal sporocarps. As measured monthly over three years, peak sporocarp production occurred both spring and fall with the greatest species rich...
متن کاملReview of Human Pathogenic Fungi: Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Mechanisms
The complex interplay between host and microbe is especially evident in the pathogenesis of fungal diseases. Certain fungi, like Candida albicans, are commensals whereas others, like Cryptococcus neoformans, are environmental opportunists who have, in part, enhanced their capacity to cause devastating disease through interactions (e.g., a “boot camp”) over the millennia with environmental preda...
متن کاملFungi associated with apple and pear sooty blotch and flyspeck diseases in Guilan province, Iran
Sooty blotch and flyspeck occur on fruit surfaces and result in economic losses due to less attractive appearance. Sooty blotch fungi form dark mycelial mats whereas flyspeck fungal agents are well characterized with black, sclerotium-like bodies on fruit surface. Whilst more than 60 species have been reported in association with these two fungal diseases, thus far they have not been studied in...
متن کاملMelanin and the ecology of southern pine beetle associated fungi
I report here a series of initial investigations into effects of melanins on the interactions of the three primary species of fungi associated with the southern pine beetle (SPB), and into possible means for mitigating the damaging activities of the melanistic fungus, Ophiostoma minus. Growth of the SPB mutualistic fungus Entomocorticium sp. A on high melanin medium was less than half of the gr...
