Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiesel production from biomass of an oleaginous fungus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced the filamentous fungus Mucor circinelloides as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production, which showed a high content (>85%) of saponifiable matter and a suitable fatty acid profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsporidia evolved from ancestral sexual fungi.

TL;DR: These findings support the hypothesis that microsporidia are true fungi that descended from a zygomycete ancestor and suggest microsporaidia may have an extant sexual cycle and exclude all other fungal lineages with sequenced genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expansion of Signal Transduction Pathways in Fungi by Extensive Genome Duplication.

Luis M. Corrochano, +74 more
- 20 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: The genome duplication provided the means to improve signal transduction for enhanced perception of environmental signals and will help to understand the role of genome dynamics in the evolution of sensory perception in eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two classes of small antisense RNAs in fungal RNA silencing triggered by non‐integrative transgenes

TL;DR: Small sense and antisense RNAs have been found to be associated with gene silencing in M.circinelloides, revealing the existence of spreading of RNA targeting in fungi and making it a suitable organism for investigating some unresolved questions in RNA silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antifungal drug resistance evoked via RNAi-dependent epimutations

TL;DR: This study uncovers a novel epigenetic RNAi-based epimutation mechanism controlling phenotypic plasticity, with possible implications for antimicrobial drug resistance andRNAi-regulatory mechanisms in fungi and other eukaryotes.
