• Control of cytosolic pH homeostasis in the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum 

      Mariscal Gómez, Melani (Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2023)
      pH is one of the most important environmental factors affecting development and virulence in fungi. In the soilborne vascular wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum, pH acts as a master regulator of the conserved Fmk1 MAPK cascade, ...
    • How alkalinization drives fungal pathogenicity 

      Ribeiro Fernandes, Tânia Alícia; Segorbe, David; Prusky, Dov; Di Pietro, Antonio (Public Library of Science, 2017)
      pH governs most, if not all, processes of life. In fungi, ambient pH acts as a potent regulator of growth and development [1]. Studies conducted primarily in the 2 model organisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus ...
    • Hyphal Growth of Phagocytosed Fusarium oxysporum Causes Cell Lysis and Death of Murine Macrophages 

      Schäfer, Katja; Bain, Judith M.; Di Pietro, Antonio; Gow, Neil A. R.; Erwig, Lars P. (PLOS, 2014)
      Fusarium oxysporum is an important plant pathogen and an opportunistic pathogen of humans. Here we investigated phagocytosis of F. oxysporum by J774.1 murine cell line macrophages using live cell video microscopy. Macrophages ...
    • Intracellular pH as a new mechanism of signal transduction 

      Ribeiro Fernandes, Tânia Alícia (Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2017)
      El pH juega un papel clave en el control de la patogénesis fúngica. En el patógeno del suelo Fusarium oxysporum, causante de la marchitez vascular, el pH actúa como regulador maestro de Fmk1, una MAPK altamente conservada, ...
    • Structure and dynamics of chromosomes: role in the genomic and pathogenic plasticity of Fusarium oxysporum 

      Gómez Gil, Lucía (Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2022)
      Fungal pathogens have developed a wide range of mechanisms allowing rapid adaptation to different environments. The vascular wilt pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol4287) infects the roots of tomato plants ...
