Project description:To determine the genes in addition to fimA regulated by sigma 54 by analysing the gene expression profiles of an rpoN mutant compared to the D. nodosus wild-type strain. Keywords: genetic modification
Project description:This study aimed to identify genes that were differentially expressed when D. nodosus was grown on agar media supplemented with ground hoof compared to the standard agar media. Keywords: growth response to hoof material
Project description:Rhizopus delemar is an invasive fungal pathogen, responsible for the frequently fatal disease mucormycosis. Germination, a crucial mechanism by which spores of Rhizopus delemar infect and cause disease, is a key developmental process that transforms the dormant spore state into a vegetative one. Understanding the molecular mechanisms which underpin this transformation may be key to controlling mucormycosis; however, the regulation of germination remains poorly understood. This study describes the transcriptional changes which take place over the course of germination.
