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 …

Virtually all organisms exposed to light are capable of sensing this environmental signal. In
recent years the photoreceptors that mediate the ability of fungi to “see” have been identified …

The classification of Mucorales encompasses a collection of basal fungi that have
traditionally demonstrated an aversion to modern genetic manipulation techniques. This …

The fungal kingdom is vast, spanning∼ 1.5 to as many as 5 million species diverse as
unicellular yeasts, filamentous fungi, mushrooms, lichens, and both plant and animal …

Many fungi of the genus Fusarium stand out for the complexity of their secondary
metabolism. Individual species may differ in their metabolic capacities, but they usually …

Mucormycosis is a lethal and emerging disease that has lacked a genetic model fulfilling
both high virulence and the possibility of performing stable and reproducible gene …

Light is an important modulating signal in fungi. Fusarium species stand out as research
models for their phytopathogenic activity and their complex secondary metabolism. This …

Commercial interest in microbial lipids is increasing due to their potential use as feedstock
for biodiesel production. The supply of NADPH generated by malic enzyme (ME; NADP+ …

Diminishing fossil fuel reserves and the increase in their consumption indicate that
strategies need to be developed to produce biofuels from renewable resources. Biodiesel …

Light is an environmental signal that modulates many aspects of the biology of zygomycete
fungi. Light regulation has been investigated in the zygomycetes Phycomyces …
