Diaporthe: a genus of endophytic, saprobic and plant pathogenic fungi
Diaporthe (Phomopsis) species have often been reported as plant pathogens, non-pathogenic endophytes or saprobes, commonly isolated from a wide range of hosts. The primary aim of the present study was to resolve the taxonomy and phylogeny of a large collection of Diaporthe species occurring on diverse hosts, either as pathogens, saprobes, or as harmless endophytes. In the present study we inves...
متن کاملReview of Human Pathogenic Fungi: Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Mechanisms
The complex interplay between host and microbe is especially evident in the pathogenesis of fungal diseases. Certain fungi, like Candida albicans, are commensals whereas others, like Cryptococcus neoformans, are environmental opportunists who have, in part, enhanced their capacity to cause devastating disease through interactions (e.g., a “boot camp”) over the millennia with environmental preda...
متن کاملPathogenic Fungi—Structural Biology and Taxonomy
Structural Biology and Taxonomy is the first volume in a series authored by leading medical mycologists. The series’ scope is to review progress in basic research on zoopathogenic fungi, a timely effort as medical mycology moves into the genomics era. General knowledge of fungal pathogens is assumed. This volume begins by discussing the cell wall which, besides its roles in pathogenesis, is now...
متن کاملCan Insects Develop Resistance to Insect Pathogenic Fungi?
Microevolutionary adaptations and mechanisms of fungal pathogen resistance were explored in a melanic population of the Greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella. Under constant selective pressure from the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, 25(th) generation larvae exhibited significantly enhanced resistance, which was specific to this pathogen and not to another insect pathogenic fungus,...
متن کاملIsolation, identification and biodiversity of endophytic fungi o Thymus
Endophytes are considered as an important source of bioactive natural products because thesemicroorganisms are able to occupy unique biological niches and grow in non-ordinaryenvironments. Therefore, endophytic fungi of medicinal plants can be developed for medicinalapplications. On the other hand, medicinal properties of plant can be ascribed to its endophyticfungi. Thymus sp. is widely used a...
