  2. 1. Neutrophils versus Pathogenic Fungi : through the magnifying glass of nutritional immunity

    Author : Maria Joanna Niemiec; Constantin F. Urban; Bernhard Hube; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophils; Candida albicans; nutritional immunity; metallome; Zn; Fe;

    Abstract : Neutrophils are among the first white blood cells recruited to the site of infection once microbial pathogens enter the host organism. At site, they perform a well-orchestrated chain of processes that aims to kill the microbial invader. Most prominent, neutrophils engulf microbes to inactivate them intracellularly, a process called phagocytosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Transcriptome Analyses of the Nematode-trapping Fungus Monacrosporium haptotylum

    Author : Margareta Tholander; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Pathogenic fungi; Nematophagous fungi; Nematodes; Biological control; cDNA microarray; Transcriptome analysis; Nematode-trapping fungi; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil living organisms with the ability to infect and kill nematodes. These fungi have developed specialized infection structures, traps for the capture of nematodes. To be able to identify genes in nematode-trapping fungi that are involved in the infection of nematodes cDNA microarrays were constructed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Discovery of Novel Fatty Acid Dioxygenases and Cytochromes P450 : Mechanisms of Oxylipin Biosynthesis in Pathogenic Fungi

    Author : Inga Hoffmann; Ernst H Oliw; Alan R Brash; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion protein; Linoleate diol synthase; Allene oxide synthase; Cyclooxygenase; Oxygenase; HPLC; Mass spectrometry; Hydroperoxide isomerase; Aspergillus; Fusarium oxysporum; Pharmaceutical Biochemistry; Farmaceutisk biokemi; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical Pharmacology; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : Dioxygenase-cytochrome P450 (DOX-CYP) fusion enzymes are present in diverse human and plant pathogenic fungi. They oxygenate fatty acids to lipid mediators which have regula­tory functions in fungal development and toxin production. READ MORE

  6. 4. Infection biology of the plant pathogenic fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana

    Author : Dace Apoga; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microscopy; Hordeum vulgare; barley; virulence; prehelminthosporol; phytotoxins; proteins; adhesion; fimbriae; extracellular matrix; Helminthosporium sativum; Cochliobolus sativus; Plant pathogenic fungi; Bipolaris sorokiniana; two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; mass spectrometry; gas chromatography; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : Bipolaris sorokiniana is a fungal pathogen causing severe disease mainly in wheat and barley worldwide. In this thesis two aspects of the infection process were investigated: the adhesion mechanism of the fungus and the role of the non-host specific phytotoxin prehelminthosporol (PHL) in the disease. Adhesion of B. READ MORE
