Cell surface analysis of the basidiomycete yeast cryptococcus neoformans
Cell surface properties of the basidiomycete yeast Cryptococcus neoformans were investigated with a combination of novel and well proven approaches. Non-specific cell adhesion forces, as well as exposed carbohydrate and protein moieties potentially associated with specific cellular interaction, …

Physiological Studies on the Growth and Fructification of the Edible Basidiomycete Series, Pleurotus Sajor-Caju (Fr.) Sing. and Stropharia Rugoso-Annulata Farl. ap. Murr.
… Based on the results of these experiments, two basidiomycete species, Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fr.) Sing. and Stropharia rugoso-annulata Farl, ap, Murr. were selected for further studies on growth and fruit-body formation. The two fungi proved to be good decomposers of cereal straw, but …

A Genomic and Proteomic Investigation of the Plant Pathogen Armillaria mellea: Buried Treasure or Hidden Threat?
… experimental models are available to investigate basidiomycete pathogenicity. Herein it is revealed that the A. mellea genome comprises 58.35 Mb, contains 14473 gene models, of average length 1575 bp (4.72 introns/gene). A novel, large-scale proteomic shotgun analysis method, was developed for …

Responses to Antifungal and Alkaline pH Stress in Human Fungal Pathogens
… Rim signaling are significantly divergent in the basidiomycete phylum, which includes C. neoformans, agricultural pathogens, and saprophytes. Recently, we identified the first basidiomycete Rim pathway pH sensor, the C. neoformans Rra1 protein. </p><p>Through a proteomics-based screen for …

An investigation of the durability of UK grown softwood distribution poles CCA-treated by sap-displacement
… of the pole sections with basidiomycete fungi produced major differences in the type and location of decay development between the untreated and CCA-treated samples. Despite the presence of a heavy basidiomycete inoculum, decay of untreated control sections continued to be …

Detection and analysis of the wood decay fungus <i>Lentinus Lepideus </i>Fr. using immunological probes
… by in descending order of magnitude, brown rot basidiomycete fungi, white rot basidiomycete fungi and deuteromycete fungi.<br/><br/>Wood blocks artificially infected with <i>L. lepideus</i> were prepared, pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> .L) and lime (<i>Tilia vulgaris </i>.Hayne) being chosen as a …

Pisolithus Tinctorius Mycobiont Inoculations as a Factor in Performance of Containerized and Bare-Root Shortleaf Pine Seedlings on Lignite Minesoils in Panola County, Texas
… examination of inoculated roots revealed that a Basidiomycete and another fungus were mycotrophic, full Hartig-net and mantle development were common, and apparent host and mycobiont physiological activity was positively influenced by intimate symbiotic relationship. Evolution of mycorrhizae …

Utilization of the Phanerochaete chrysosporium ligninolytic system and the potential for toxaphene degradation
… of nonspecific extracellular enzymes by the Basidiomycete fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium, referred to as the ligninolytic system, has been reported by many researchers to be capable of degrading a broad spectrum of environmentally persistent compounds including some alkyl halide …

Recoding: reprogrammed genetic decoding with an emphasis on antizyme regulatory frameshifting
… +1 frameshifting in the Agaricomycotina class of Basidiomycete fungi. It is a nascent peptide that acts from within the ribosome exit tunnel to stimulate frameshifting efficiency in response to polyamines. The interactions of the nascent peptide with components of the peptidyl transferase centre …

The Effects of Agrochemicals on Litter Fungi
… the higher rate. An attempt was made to isolate Basidiomycetes from a number of cellulosic substrates, and one which was successfully isolated was used in subsequent physiological studies. The growth of a number of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal Basidiomycetes was studied. The non-mycorrhizal …

The Effects of Nitrogenous Compounds on Decay of Wood by Soft-Rot Fungi
… in vitro ability of three soft-rot fungi and one Basidiomycete to grow and produce cellulase when amino acids were supplied as a nitrogen source was investigated. The fungi were found, in general, to produce greatest growth and cellulase production in the presence of aspartic acid and glutamic …

MECHANICAL ABRASION AND ELECTROPORATION IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF INTACT PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS HYPHÆ and NUTRIENT-DEPENDANT RESISTANCE TO HYGROMYCIN B
… treatment and subsequent electroporation of the basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus in a hypertonic buffer was investigated as a potential method of transforming of intact hyphæ. Mycelia, which are not capable of being transformed via electroporation due to interference by the cell wall, were …

The effect of bis(tributyltin) oxide on wood inhabiting microfungi
… upon the oxygen consumption of microfungi. Basidiomycete respiration was more sensitive to Tn.B.T.O. than that of the microfungi tested. The effect of Tn.B.T.O. on the activity of fungus free enzyme filtrates, containing cellulolytic, amylolytic and pectinolytic enzymes, was investigated …

Diversity of yeasts associated with wood and the gut of wood-feeding insects
… of wood roaches and passalid beetles, as well as basidiomycete yeasts in the genera Cryptococcus and Trichosporon in passalids exclusively. In this investigation, four new X-F yeasts, Scheffersomyces illinoinensis, Sc. quercinus, Sc. virginianus, and Sc. cryptocercus, were proposed based on …

Biotic and climatic factors affecting the colonisation of wood-invading fungi
… group and other colonising organisms, including Basidiomycetes and bacteria were investigated. The results indicated that the Micromycetes produced substances which inhibited the growth of bacteria and the germination of the spores of other Micromycetes. The role of superior enzyme production in …

Genome-wide Analyses of Recombination and the Genetic Architecture of Virulence Traits in Cryptococcus
<p>Fungi of the basidiomycete genus Cryptococcus cause disease in an estimated quarter of a million people, annually. Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus deneoformans are the two most prevalent disease causing species within the Cryptococcus clade, with isolates of these species exhibiting …
