Journal ArticleDOI
Quorum Sensing in the Dimorphic Fungus Candida albicans Is Mediated by Farnesol
Jacob M. Hornby,Ellen C. Jensen,Amber D. Lisec,Joseph J. Tasto,Brandon Jahnke,Richard K. Shoemaker,Patrick H. Dussault,Kenneth W. Nickerson +7 more
TL;DR: Both commercial mixed isomer and (E,E)-farnesol exhibited QSM activity (the ability to prevent GTF) at a level sufficient to account for all the Q SM activity present in C. albicans supernatants, i.e., 50% GTF at ca.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of broad-host-range lytic bacteriophages of Sphaerotilus natans, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Ellen C. Jensen,H. Schrader,Brenda Rieland,T. L. Thompson,Kit W. Lee,Kenneth W. Nickerson,Tyler A. Kokjohn +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that broad-host-range bacteriophages play a key role in phage ecology and gene transfer in nature and a multiple-host enrichment protocol may be more effective for the isolation of broad- host-range phages by avoiding the selection bias inherent in single-host methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quorum sensing in dimorphic fungi: farnesol and beyond.
TL;DR: Production of farnesol by Candida albicans is the first quorum-sensing system discovered in a eukaryote and accumulated farnesole affects both dimorphism and biofilm formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of molluscan and arthropod hemocyanin—I. Circular dichroism and absorption spectra
TL;DR: The circular dichroic spectra of molluscan and arthropod oxyhemocyanins are qualitatively and quantitatively different and indicate fundamental differences in the oxygen binding sites of these related proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Farnesol‐induced apoptosis in Aspergillus nidulans reveals a possible mechanism for antagonistic interactions between fungi
TL;DR: The data suggest that farnesol, in addition to its quorum‐sensing function that regulates morphogenesis, is also employed by C. albicans to reduce competition from other microbes.
