Fungi exhibit a fascinating array of sexual reproductive strategies that play a vital role in their adaptation and evolution. Central to these processes is the mating‐type (MAT) locus, which governs ...

Candida albicans is a fungal species causing infection in humans. A team of scientists decided to sequence and analyze the genomes of 182 strains of C. albicans from around the world. They confirmed ...

AUSTIN, Texas--Fungus-farming ants around the world cultivate essentially the same fungus and are not as critical to the reproduction of the fungi as previously believed, biologists at The University ...

Many soil microbes play a vital role in ecosystems, as they help plants access nutrients and water and assist in stress tolerance, such as during drought, and to defend against pathogens. A fungus's ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Research over the past two decades shows that both recombination and clonality are likely to contribute to the reproduction of all fungi. This ...

Endosymbiotic relationships—in which one organism lives within another—are striking examples of mutualism, and can often significantly shape the biology of the participant species. In new findings ...

Researchers collected 35 species of marine fungi in the waters off of Woods Hole, Massachusetts, including some that had never been studied before, and found unusual cell division cycles in some ...

In a laboratory on the fifth floor of the Biomedical Center, a group of University researchers carefully observes sexual acts that have never before been witnessed by humans. Associate Professor of ...

A type of fungi studied by a team of biologists for their sexual reproduction strategies are commonly known as Sword-belt Mushrooms. In addition to the European Sword-belt Mushroom (Cyclocybe aegerita ...
