Penicillium marneffei is a pathogenic fungus endemic to Southeast Asia. It is the only Penicillium species that displays thermally dependent dimorphism. At 25° C, the fungus grows as a filamentous mold, but develops as a ...
Neurospora crassa, like most fungi, is very flexible metabolically. When a preferred carbon source, such as dextrose, is unavailable, N. crassa has the ability to metabolize quinic acid. To do this, the quinic acid gene ...
Eukaryotic genes are tightly regulated through a highly complex system with a number of checks and balances. When environmental conditions change, organisms need to adapt. Part of this reaction may be a shift in gene ...
Penicillium marneffei is a dimorphic fungus and an opportunistic pathogen responsible for the disease penicilliosis. Efforts to genetically characterize this organism have led to the development of a plasmid-dependent, ...
Penicillium marneffei is an opportunistic, dimorphic fungal pathogen that causes penicilliosis in AIDS patients. In an effort to genetically characterize this organism, Kummasook et al. developed an Agrobacterium ...
Neurospora crassa, a model filamentous fungus, contains the quinic acid (qa) gene cluster, allowing the organism to effectively metabolize quinic acid as an alternative carbon source. In the presence of quinic acid, the ...
Penicillium marneffei is the only known thermally dimorphic species of the Penicillium genus, growing as a filamentous mold at 25°C and adopting yeast morphology at 37°C. Endemic to Southeast Asia, there is no known reservoir ...
