Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial sorting and assembly machinery subunit Sam37 in Candida albicans: insight into the roles of mitochondria in fitness, cell wall integrity, and virulence.
Yue Qu,Branka Jeličić,Filomena Pettolino,Andrew J. Perry,Tricia L. Lo,Victoria L. Hewitt,Farkad Bantun,Traude H. Beilharz,Anton Y. Peleg,Anton Y. Peleg,Trevor Lithgow,Julianne T. Djordjevic,Ana Traven +12 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first direct evidence for a link between mitochondrial function and cell wall integrity in C. albicans and is further relevant for understanding mitochondrial function in fitness, antifungal drug tolerance, and virulence of this major pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
The functions of Mediator in Candida albicans support a role in shaping species-specific gene expression.
Nathalie Uwamahoro,Yue Qu,Branka Jeličić,Tricia L. Lo,Cécile Beaurepaire,Farkad Bantun,Tara L Quenault,Peter R. Boag,Georg Ramm,Judy M. Callaghan,Traude H. Beilharz,André Nantel,Anton Y. Peleg,Anton Y. Peleg,Ana Traven +14 more
TL;DR: Evidence that the roles of Med31 and Srb9/Med13 in the expression of the genes encoding cell wall adhesins are different between S. cerevisiae and C. albicans suggests that Mediator subunits regulate adhesion in a distinct manner between these two distantly related fungal species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of a Cross-Kingdom Signaling Molecule of Candida albicans on Acinetobacter baumannii Physiology
Xenia Kostoulias,Gerald L. Murray,Gustavo C. Cerqueira,Jason B. Kong,Farkad Bantun,Eleftherios Mylonakis,Chen Ai Khoo,Anton Y. Peleg +7 more
TL;DR: The antagonistic interactions between A. baumannii and the most common human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, were studied to provide mechanistic understanding of the antagonism interactions between diverse pathogens and may provide important insights into novel therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of Azo Dye Methyl Red by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Optimization of Process Conditions
Muhammad Ikram,Muhammad Naeem,Muhammad Zahoor,Abdur Rahim,Marlia Mohd Hanafiah,Adeleke Abdulrahman Oyekanmi,Abdul Bari Shah,Mater H. Mahnashi,Amer Al Ali,Naif Jalal,Farkad Bantun,A. Sadiq +11 more
TL;DR: In this article , the degradation potential of eleven bacterial strains for azo dye methyl red was evaluated and the optimum degradation efficiency was obtained using P. aeruginosa, the most potent strain with 81.49% degradation activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus subtilis: As an Efficient Bacterial Strain for the Reclamation of Water Loaded with Textile Azo Dye, Orange II
Muhammad Ikram,Muhammad Naeem,Muhammad Zahoor,Marlia Mohd Hanafiah,Adeleke Abdulrahman Oyekanmi,Noor Islam,Midrar Ullah,Mater H. Mahnashi,Amer Al Ali,Naif Jalal,Farkad Bantun,Aiman M. Momenah,A. Sadiq +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper , azo dye orange II is used extensively in the textile sector for coloring fabrics and high concentrations of it are released into aqueous environments through textile effluents through B. subtilis, which can more potently degrade the selected dye, which was thus used in subsequent experiments.
