Three-dimensional graph reconstruction of filamentous structures from z-stack images by Oscar Sten, Emanuela Del Dottore, Marilena Ronzan, Nicola Pugno, Barbara Mazzolai

“…The approach is then tested on images of the real filamentous fungus Rhizophagus irregularis. First, the overlap detection is assessed on six manually annotated 2D images of the fungus (F1 = 0.91–0.92). …”

The multipurpose cell factory Aspergillus niger can be engineered to produce hydroxylated collagen by Tom Morris, Friederike Gerstl, Sascha Jung, Timothy C. Cairns, Vera Meyer

“…Microbial systems are highly desirable to meet these demands as recombinant collagenous proteins can be guaranteed as free from animal viruses. The filamentous cell factory Aspergillus niger has been instrumental for decades in the production of organic acids, enzymes and proteins, yet this fungus has not been explored for recombinant collagen production. …”

A fungal chromatin remodeler drives transcription by establishing an open chromatin architecture and activated histone environment by Mengting Xu, Qi Zhang, Yuan Li, Wei Zhou, Lingyun Lei, Fucheng Lin, Yanjun Kou, Zeng Tao

“…Summary: Chromatin remodelers are central regulators of chromatin architecture and transcriptional dynamics, yet the mechanisms underlying the establishment of transcriptionally permissive chromatin and an activated histone environment remain elusive. In the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, we demonstrate that remodeling the structure of chromatin 1 (RSC1) functions as a critical regulator in this process. …”

Histone H3K27me3 methylation regulates the expression of secreted proteins distributed at fast-evolving regions through transcriptional repression of transposable elements by Jia-hui XIE, Wei TANG, Guo-dong LU, Yong-he HONG, Zhen-hui ZHONG, Zong-hua WANG, Hua-kun ZHENG

“…The fine-tuned expression dynamics of the effector genes are pivotal for the transition from vegetative growth to host colonization of pathogenic filamentous fungi. However, mechanisms underlying the dynamic regulation of these genes remain largely unknown. …”
