Fungi of the order Mucorales colonize all kinds of wet, organic materials and represent a
permanent part of the human environment. They are economically important as fermenting …

Abstract Purpose of Review Infectious diseases represent up to 12% of all deaths in people
with diabetes mellitus (DM). The development and progression of DM generate a chronic …

Many fungi are pathogenic on plants and cause significant damage in agriculture and
forestry. They are also part of the natural ecosystem and may play a role in regulating plant …

The order Mucorales comprises predominantly fast-growing saprotrophic fungi, some of
which are used for the fermentation of foodstuffs but it also includes species known to cause …

Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal
clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the …

The Mucorales (Mucoromycotina) are one of the most ancient groups of fungi comprising
ubiquitous, mostly saprotrophic organisms. The first comprehensive molecular studies 11 yr …

Mucormycosis is a life-threatening infection caused by Mucorales fungi. Here we sequence
30 fungal genomes, and perform transcriptomics with three representative Rhizopus and …

Many heritable mutualisms, in which beneficial symbionts are transmitted vertically between
host generations, originate as antagonisms with parasite dispersal constrained by the host …

Recent discoveries introduce several potentially novel diagnostic and therapeutic
modalities, which are likely to improve management and outcome for mucormycosis. Future …

This is a continuation of a series focused on providing a stable platform for the taxonomy of
phytopathogenic fungi and fungus-like organisms. This paper focuses on one family …
