New research studies reported in Nature Communications have highlighted the importance of fungi in the gut microbiome, a ...
In 2009, a microorganism known as Candida auris emerged seemingly from thin air. The fungus, which led to deadly outbreaks in hospitals and other care settings, soon alarmed scientists worldwide as it ...
In fungi and plants, plasma membrane P-type H⁺-ATPases are vital enzymes that transduce the energy of ATP hydrolysis into an electrochemical proton gradient across the cell surface. This proton motive ...
Research led by the University of Alberta challenges the idea that carbon exchange between plants and mycorrhizal fungi operates like a market. Instead, the study supports the "Surplus C" hypothesis, ...
Researchers may have finally solved the mystery of the fungal pathogen that has been devastating amphibian populations worldwide. The fungus, known as Batrachonchytrium dendrobatisdis (Bd), appears to ...
When aquatic fungi lose diversity, rivers lose resilience.
New research marks a major step forward in understanding C. auris biology, homing in on the genetics behind its ability to shape-shift from a round yeast form to a more hair-like, filamentous form -- ...
