Adhesins in Candida glabrata
(MDPI, 2018)"The human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is causing more and more problems in hospitals, as this species shows an intrinsic antifungal drug resistance or rapidly becomes resistant when challenged with antifungals. C. ... -
Alanine Represses gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Utilization and Induces Alanine Transaminase Required for Mitochondrial Function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)"The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) shunt constitutes a conserved metabolic route generating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and regulating stress response in most organisms. Here we show that in the ... -
Candida glabrata encodes a longer variant of the mating type (MAT) alpha2 gene in the mating type-like MTL3 locus, which can form homodimers
(Oxford University Press, 2016)"The fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is a haploid asexual yeast. Candida glabrata contains orthologs of the genes that control mating and cell-type identity in other fungi, which encode putative transcription factors ... -
Candida glabrata’s genome plasticity confers a unique pattern of expressed cell wall proteins
(MDPI, 2018)"Candida glabrata is the second most common cause of candidemia, and its ability to adhere to different host cell types, to microorganisms, and to medical devices are important virulence factors. Here, we consider three ... -
Corrigendum: The sole DNA ligase in Entamoeba histolytica is a high-fidelity DNA ligase involved in DNA damage repair
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)"A Corrigendum on The soleDNA ligase in Entamoeba histolytica is a high-fidelity DNA ligase involved in DNA damage repair By Azuara-Liceaga E, Betanzos A, Cardona-Felix CS, Castañeda-Ortiz EJ, Cárdenas H, Cárdenas-Guerra ... -
Genes encoding conserved hypothetical proteins localized in the conjugative transfer region of plasmid pRet42a from Rhizobium etli CFN42 participate in modulating transfer and affect conjugation from different donors
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)"Among sequenced genomes, it is common to find a high proportion of genes encoding proteins that cannot be assigned a known function. In bacterial genomes, genes related to a similar function are often located in contiguous ... -
Genotyping based on thermal denaturation of amplification products identifies species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(Microbiology Society, 2018)"Purpose. To develop a fast and inexpensive genotyping assay to identify the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species most prevalent in human tuberculosis (TB), based on the thermal denaturation profiles of PCR ... -
High resistance to oxidative stress in the fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is mediated by a single catalase, Cta1p, and is controlled by the transcription factors Yap1p, Skn7p, Msn2p, and Msn4p
(2008-05)"We characterized the oxidative stress response of Candida glabrata to better understand the virulence of this fungal pathogen. C. glabrata could withstand higher concentrations of H2O2 than Saccharomyces cerevisiae and ... -
Identification of yeast and bacteria involved in the mezcal fermentation of Agave salmiana
(Wiley, 2008-06)"Aims: To identify the yeast and bacteria present in the mezcal fermentation from Agave salmiana. Methods and Results: The restriction and sequence analysis of the amplified region, between 18S and 28S rDNA and 16S rDNA ... -
In Kluyveromyces lactis a Pair of Paralogous Isozymes Catalyze the First Committed Step of Leucine Biosynthesis in Either the Mitochondria or the Cytosol
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)"Divergence of paralogous pairs, resulting from gene duplication, plays an important role in the evolution of specialized or novel gene functions. Analysis of selected duplicated pairs has elucidated some of the mechanisms ... -
Inactivation of the transcription factor mig1 (YGL035C) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae improves tolerance towards monocarboxylic weak acids: acetic, formic and levulinic acid
(Springer, 2018)"Toxic concentrations of monocarboxylic weak acids present in lignocellulosic hydrolyzates affect cell integrity and fermentative performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this work, we report the deletion of the general ... -
Isolation and characterization of mercury resistant trichoderma strains from soil with high levels of mercury and its effects on Arabidopsis thaliana mercury uptake
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc, 2018)"Traditional mining activities are usually correlated with high levels of soil pollution, which is a major environmental concern. Extensive mining activities have taken place in the San Joaquin region in the State of ... -
Isolation and phylogenetic classification of culturable psychrophilic prokaryotes from the Collins glacier in the Antarctica
(2011-05)"Culturable psychrophilic prokaryotes were obtained of samples of glacier sediment, seaside mud, glacier melted ice, and Deschampsia antarctica rhizosphere from Collins glacier, Antarctica. The taxonomic classification was ... -
Occurrence of killer Candida glabrata clinical isolates
(2012)"In this work we characterized the occurrence of killer activity in 64 Candida glabrata clinical isolates under different conditions. We found that only 6.25 % of the clinical isolates tested were positive for killer ... -
Replicative and integrative plasmids for production of human interferon gamma in Bacillus subtilis
(2010-11)"Integrative and replicative plasmids for the expression driven by the P43 promoter and secretion of recombinant proteins in Bacillus subtilis were constructed. The plasmids named pInt and pRep respectively were tested for ... -
Subtelomeric silencing of the MTL3 locus of Candida glabrata requires yKu70, yKu80, and Rif1 proteins
(2010-10)"Candida glabrata is a haploid opportunistic fungal pathogen that is phylogenetically related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Even though C. glabrata has no known sexual cycle, it contains, like S. cerevisiae, three mating ... -
