The Neurospora crassa exocyst complex tethers Spitzenkörper vesicles to the apical plasma membrane during polarized growth

Creator:: Riquelme, Meritxell, Bredeweg, Erin L., Callejas-Negrete, Olga, Roberson, Robert W., Ludwig, Sarah, Beltrán-Aguilar, Alejandro, Seiler, Stephan, Novick, Peter, and Freitag, Michael
Abstract:: Fungal hyphae are among the most highly polarized cells. Hyphal polarized growth is supported by tip-directed transport of secretory vesicles, which accumulate temporarily in a stratified manner in an apical vesicle cluster, the Spitzenkörper. The exocyst complex is required for tethering of secretory vesicles to the apical plasma membrane. We...

Larval exposure to predator cues alters immune function and response to a fungal pathogen in post-metamorphic wood frogs

Creator:: Groner, Maya L., Buck, Julia C., Gervasi, Stephanie, Blaustein, Andrew R., Reinert, Laura K., Rollins-Smith, Louise A., Bier, Mark E., Hempel, John, and Relyea, Rick A.
Abstract:: For the past several decades, amphibian populations have been decreasing around the globe at an unprecedented rate. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the fungal pathogen that causes chytridiomycosis in amphibians, is contributing to amphibian declines. Natural and anthropogenic environmental factors are hypothesized to contribute to these declines by reducing the immunocompetence of...

Differences in sensitivity to the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis among amphibian populations

Creator:: Bradley, Paul W., Gervasi, Stephanie S., Hua, Jessica, Cothran, Rickey, D., Relyea, Rick A., Olson, Deanna H., and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Contributing to the worldwide biodiversity crisis are emerging infectious diseases, which can lead to extirpations and extinctions of hosts. For example, the infectious fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is associated with worldwide amphibian population declines and extinctions. Sensitivity to Bd varies with species, season, and life stage. However, there is...

Characterization of Fungal Communities in Selected Wood Species by Field Exposure Tests

Creator:: Torres-Andrade, Paola A.
Abstract:: Fungi are the primary biological agents of wood deterioration and cause major economic losses of wood products globally. Wood in outdoor applications tends to remain wet for extended time periods, making it susceptible to fungal attack. Understanding the factors involved in fungal colonization of wood is important for developing improved...

Spalting Fungi : Genetic Identification, Material Interactions and Microscopical Characteristics of Extracted Pigments

Creator:: Vega Gutiérrez, Sarath Mercedes
Abstract:: Spalting fungi show strong potential as natural colorants on a variety of materials, specifically textiles and wood. Four species of spalting fungi are currently utilized in this manner: Scytalidium cuboideum, which produces a red pigment called draconin red, Scytalidium ganodermophthorum, that produces an unknown yellow pigment, and Chlorociboria aeruginosa and...

Development and Infectious Disease in Hosts with Complex Life Cycles

Creator:: Searle, Catherine L., Xie, Gisselle Yang, and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Metamorphosis is often characterized by profound changes in morphology and physiology that can affect the dynamics of species interactions. For example, the interaction between a pathogen and its host may differ depending on the life stage of the host or pathogen. One pathogen that infects hosts with complex life cycles...

Host species composition influences infection severity among amphibians in the absence of spillover transmission

Creator:: Han, Barbara A., Kerby, Jacob L., Searle, Catherine L., Storfer, Andrew, and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Wildlife epidemiological outcomes can depend strongly on the composition of an ecological community, particularly when multiple host species are affected by the same pathogen. However, the relationship between host species richness and disease risk can vary with community context and with the degree of spillover transmission that occurs among co-occurring...

Toxicity of Fungal Pigments from Chlorociboria spp. and Scytalidium spp.

Creator:: Almurshidi, Badria H.
Abstract:: Commercial methodologies for producing fungal pigments are of worldwide interest due to the desire to move away from synthetic dyes. Chlorociboria species and Scytalidium species have been reported to produce sufficient yields of pigments for commercial production and have attracted special attention because of their use in spalted wood applications....

Contributions of ectomycorrhizal fungal mats to forest soil respiration

Creator:: Phillips, C. L., Kluber, L. A., Martin, J. P., Caldwell, B. A., and Bond, B. J.
Abstract:: Distinct aggregations of fungal hyphae and rhizomorphs, or "mats", formed by some genera of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi are common features of soils in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. We measured in situ respiration rates of Piloderma mats and neighboring non-mat soils in an old-growth Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon...

Baculovirus molecular biology, 2nd Edition

Creator:: Rohrmann, George F.
Abstract:: This book is based on a project to completely annotate what is known about the function of the ~150 genes encoded by the genome of the most commonly investigated baculovirus, AcMNPV. Once the annotation was completed (summarized in Chapter 12), the material was organized into a series of chapters integrating...
