PS 53-13: Can soil pathogenic fungi be used to suppress weedy plants in agroecosystems?John L. Lindquist
real scientists have studied the connection behind fungal evolution and climate change and the threats fungi can pose to different species.A scene from the HBO series "The Last of Us."Photograph by Liane Hentscher/HBOHere's what we know about the science that inspired the show's premise:Can ...
Fungi– Thesefun guys(pun intended) are spore-forming microbes that vary from ringworm to mold. Protozoa, prions, and helminths– These are the parasitic worms, agents, and proteins responsible for the likes of dysentery, malaria, hookworm, and more. ...

In phytopathogenic fungi, this contributor actively participates in the functions of fungal growth and pathogenicity. The pink snow mold, a devastating affliction of grasses and cereals, is caused by the phytopathogenic fungus Microdochium nivale, whose -glucosidase remains elusive. A GH3-glucosidase,...
Within the loose STPs, Ascomycota was found to be the most prevalent phylum, and the genera Sterigmatomyces and Pichia stood out as the dominant fungal species. click here The fungal diversity in MK was exceptionally high, marked by the abundance of pathogenic fungi, including Apiotrichum, ...
Interactions between bacteria and fungi have great environmental, medical, and agricultural importance, but the molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we study the interactions between the bacterium Pseudomonas piscium, from the wheat head microbiome, and the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium gramin...
fungi to spread across continents, potentially leading to disease outbreaks and biological invasions (Altizer et al.2011; Green2016). By dispersing fungal spores across diverse habitats, birds enhance fungal diversity and ecosystem functioning and contribute to the spread of pathogenic fungi, influencing...
Describe fungi, bacteria, and viruses from their history to modern biology. Name two food pathogens. How can microbes in foods be both helpful and harmful to humans? What are mollicutes? Explain the difference between monocyclic and polycyclic diseases...
Urea promotes the pathogenicity of A. oligospora. It has been reported that ascarosides secreted by nematodes can induce trap formation in nematode-trapping fungi20. We asked whether the bacteria/urea- and the nematode/ascaroside-induced traps share the same pathway in A. oligospora. To ...
