The formation of mitotically derived spores, called conidia, is a common reproductive mode
in filamentous fungi, particularly among the large fungal class Ascomycetes. Asexual …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yap1 protein is an AP1-like transcription factor involved in the
regulation of the oxidative stress response. An ortholog of Yap1, MoAP1, was recently …

Upon infection of a host, the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is attacked by the
reactive oxygen species produced by phagocytic cells. Detoxification of hydrogen peroxide …

Different bands of catalase activity in zymograms (Cat-1a-Cat-1e) appear during
Neurospora crassa development and under stress conditions. Here we demonstrate that …

The ability of a fungal pathogen to cause disease requires the ability to survive in the host.
Survival in the host is dependent on evasion of the host's immune system, including the …

Monascus has been used to produce natural colorants and food supplements for more than
one thousand years and approximately more than one billion people eat Monascus …

To survive sudden and potentially lethal changes in their environment, filamentous fungi
must sense and respond to a vast array of stresses, including oxidative stresses. The …

Catalase plays a key role as an antioxidant, protecting aerobic organisms from the toxic
effects of hydrogen peroxide, and in some cases has been postulated to be a virulence …

In eukaryotic cells, environmental stress signals are transmitted by evolutionarily conserved
MAPKs, such as Hog1 in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Spc1 in the fission …
