FungiCFEM proteinHemophoreIron acquisition is challenging in most environments. As an alternative to elemental iron, organisms can take up iron-protoporphyrin IX, or heme. Heme can be found in decaying organic matter and is particularly prevalent in animal hosts. Fungi have evolved at least three ...
The gastrointestinal system contains countless microorganisms spanning multiple kingdoms performing diverse functions. Archaea, bacteria, viruses, and fungi work in concert and competition to acquire nutrients and space [1]. The focus of previous gut microbiome research has predominantly been on the identif...
This work demonstrated a potential strategy for efficient bioconversion of both lignin and glucose into lipids by co-culture of multiple natural and engineeredRhodococcusstrains. In addition, the involvement of PAA pathway in lignin degradation can help to further improve lignin utilization, and the com...
Fungi have evolved at least three distinct endocytosis-mediated heme uptake systems, which have been studied in detail in the organisms Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Here we summarize the known molecular details of these three uptake systems that enable parasitic...
Nutrient sensing pathways and their regulation grant cells control over their metabolism and growth in response to changing nutrients. Factors that regulate nutrient sensing can also modulate longevity. Reduced activity of nutrient sensing pathways such as glucose-sensing PKA, nitrogen-sensing TOR and S6...

The discovery and utilization of these compounds could provide new avenues for the treatment of various diseases and conditions. 4. Influence of the Active Ingredients in Goji Berries on Gut Microbiota Microorganisms are ubiquitous in the human living environment, establishing a unique symbiotic ...
This unique class of pigments contains many naturally occurring compounds that may be extracted from plants or fungi such as xylindein (a blue-green pigment secreted by fungi in the Chlorociboria genus) [11,12,13,14,15,16] and alizarin (a red pigment from the root of the madder plant)...
