The genus Colletotrichum comprises species with different lifestyles but is mainly known for
phytopathogenic species that infect crops of agronomic relevance causing considerable …

The horizontal transfer of large gene clusters by mobile elements is a key driver of
prokaryotic adaptation in response to environmental stresses. Eukaryotic microbes face …

Transposable elements in eukaryotic organisms have historically been considered “selfish,”
at best conferring indirect benefits to their host organisms. The Starships are a recently …

Fungi colonize habitats by means of spores. These cells are stress‐resistant compared with
growing fungal cells. Fungal conidia, asexual spores, formed by cosmopolitan fungal genera …

Abstract Background The filamentous fungi Paecilomyces variotii and Penicillium roqueforti
are prevalent food spoilers and are of interest as potential future cell factories. A functional …

infection. Methods Unpublished cases of invasive P. variotii infection from the FungiScope® …

Morels (Morchella spp.) are popular edible fungi with significant economic and scientific
value. However, white mold disease, caused by Paecilomyces penicillatus, can reduce …

Paecilomyces variotii produces the antibacterial and cytotoxic (M)-viriditoxin (1) together
with a trace amount of its atropisomer (P)-viriditoxin 1′. Elucidation of the biosynthesis by …

Secondary metabolites (SMs) are a vast group of compounds with different structures and
properties that have been utilized as drugs, food additives, dyes, and as monomers for novel …

Pangenome analyses are increasingly being utilized to study the evolution of eukaryotic
organisms. While pangenomes can provide insight into polymorphic gene content …
