Comparative genomics of the environmental stress response in ascomycete fungi.
Unicellular fungi thrive in diverse niches around the world, and many of these niches present unique and stressful challenges that must be contended with by their inhabitants. Numerous studies have investigated the genomic expression responses to environmental stress in 'model' ascomycete fungi, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. This review pres...
متن کاملSensing and adapting to environmental stress: the archaeal tactic.
Archaea occupy a considerable diversity of niches encompassing extreme environments with extreme of pH, salinity and temperature that cannot be tolerated by other forms of life. Survival and colonisation requires the capacity to sense, and adapt to environmental change. In this review we consider the issues of adaptation to environmental stresses, in particular the mechanisms that might be empl...
متن کاملQuorum sensing mechanisms in fungi
In the environment, cells from microorganisms can communicate to each other through the secretion of signal molecules, so-called autoinducers, which accumulate in the medium as the population density grows. When the concentration of these molecules reaches a threshold, different genes are induced or repressed, and processes such as sporulation, pathogenesis or symbiosis are initiated. These mec...
متن کاملSeeing the rainbow: light sensing in fungi.
Light is essential for photosynthetic organisms, but also serves as an important environmental cue for non-photosynthetic species; thus, light sensing is evolutionarily conserved throughout the kingdoms, from archaea and fungi to humans. Light sensors are chromoproteins, the low-molecular weight compound of which absorbs specific wavelengths and induces a reaction from the protein. In fungi, th...
متن کاملQuorum Sensing in Fungi: Q&A
I know that the accumulation of certain molecules called ‘‘quorum-sensing factors’’ in bacteria, as cultures grow dense, can control group behavior and that these include virulence traits and the formation of drug-resistant microbial biofilms. I am familiar with some of the molecules that mediate the sensing of organism density such as homoserine lactones and peptides. However, I don’t know abo...
