RNA editing is a post-transcriptional process that modifies RNA molecules leading to transcript sequences that differ from their template DNA. A-to-I editing was found to be widely distributed in nuclear transcripts of metazoa, but was detected in fungi only recently in a study of the filamentous ascomycete Fusarium graminearum that revealed extensive A-to-I editing of mRNAs in sexual structure...

Abstract Purpose Soil microorganisms play an indispensable role in the material and energy cycle of grassland ecosystems. The abundance these organisms vary according to environmental factors, such as time year soil depth. There have been few studies on transformation microbial communities degraded typical steppe temporal spatial changes. In this study, we analyze community structure diversity ...

Five ascomycetes fungi within the were isolated agricultural soil and identified by phenotypic characteristics molecular analysis. Chaetomium ascotrichoides C. subaffine are reported for first time mycobiot...

Atricordyceps harposporifera gen. et sp. nov. (Clavicipitales) was found growing on the cadaver of an arthropod, possibly a millipede. An anamorph morphologically indistinguishable from Harposporium anguillulae, a nematode endoparasite, formed in cultures derived from single ascospores.

Filamentous fungi grow as extending and branching tubular cells (hyphae) that generate radially symmetric colonies. As colonies expand, hyphal tips at the periphery avoid each other to allow maximum coverage of the medium, while hyphal tips at the colony center actively fuse to generate an interconnected network of hyphae that allows the bulk movement of cytoplasm toward the colony edge [1]. Hy...
