P4-ATPase BbCrpa detoxifies secondary metabolites via a unique vesicle-mediated transport pathway that targets the compounds into vacuoles.

Codon optimization through biased synonymous substitutions is a characteristic feature of the genomes of generalist fungal parasites and is associated with the colonization of multiple hosts.

A critical assessment of published microRNA/microRNA-like provides clues on features and conservation of these hairpin RNAs in fungi in addition to a centralized loci annotation resource for the community.

While antimicrobial cocktails are highly effective for defence against pathogenic microbes, the innate immune response may instead employ highly specific peptidic antibiotics to combat certain natural enemies.

Talaromyces (Tsp_PR) fungus render Aedes aegypti mosquitoes more susceptible to dengue virus infection through secreted molecules that impair midgut digestive enzyme transcription and activity.

Exploration of the target of rapamycin pathway in Aspergillus flavus reveals critical regulatory elements influencing aflatoxin synthesis and stress tolerance, offering potential targets for antifungal strategies.

The biocontrol fungus Trichoderma atroviride possess a functional circadian clock, whose components impact the production of secondary metabolites and also play a role in the interaction with fungi such as the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea.

Entomophthora muscae has one of the largest fungal genomes (1.03 Gb) owing to extensive proliferation of transposable elements.

A newly described isolate of the behavior-manipulating fly pathogen Entomophthora muscae that naturally infects fruit flies can be cultured in the lab, enabling molecular investigation of how microbes induce behavior changes in animal hosts.
