A BRCT domain-containing protein induced in early phagocytosis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of the mucoralean Rhizopus microsporus
Author summary Mucormycosis is a severe fungal infection caused by Mucorales species, often affecting immunocompromised individuals. These pathogens can survive inside macrophages, immune cells that n...

Go outside. Get some light. Forget about that toxic relationship you're addicted to. Our latest work in
@isme-microbes.bsky.social
shows how light can replace the function of endosymbiotic bacteria hosted within fungal hyphae for asexual reproduction.

Light restores sporulation in Rhizopus microsporus cured of its endosymbionts, unveiling their role in fitness and virulence
Abstract. Rhizopus microsporus is a major cause of mucormycosis, an infection caused by Mucorales that increasingly affects immunocompromised individuals.
