Carotenoids are terpenoid pigments widespread in nature, produced by bacteria, fungi,
algae and plants. They are also found in animals, which usually obtain them through the …

Conidia are specialized structures produced at the end of the asexual life cycle of most
filamentous fungi. They are responsible for fungal dispersal and environmental persistence …

Fungi, like other organisms, actively sense the environmental light conditions in order to
drive adaptive responses, including protective mechanisms against the light-associated …

Light represents a major carrier of information in nature. The molecular machineries
translating its electromagnetic energy (photons) into the chemical language of cells transmit …

In recent years the number of opportunistic invasive fusariosis has increased significantly,
the main factors involved in these infections being reviewed here. In spite of the extensive …

LOV (light, oxygen or voltage) domains are protein photosensors that are conserved in
bacteria, archaea, plants and fungi, and detect blue light via a flavin cofactor. LOV domains …

Fungi see light of different colors by using photoreceptors such as the White Collar proteins
and cryptochromes for blue light, opsins for green light, and phytochromes for red light. Light …

Plants and fungi use light and other signals to regulate development, growth, and
metabolism. The fruiting bodies of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus are single cells …

Visible light is an important source of energy and information for much of life on this planet.
Though fungi are neither photosynthetic nor capable of observing adjacent objects, it is …
