Global analysis of Cdk1 substrate phosphorylation sites provides insights into evolution.

23 Sep 2009 To explore the mechanisms and evolution of cell-cycle control, we analyzed the position and conservation of large numbers of phosphorylation sites for the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk1 in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We combined ... Read more...

Contaminated product water as the source of Phialemonium curvatum bloodstream infection among patients undergoing hemodialysis.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: We investigated a cluster of cases of bloodstream infection (BSI) due to the mold Phialemonium at a hemodialysis center in Illinois and conducted a cohort study to identify risk factors. DESIGN: Environmental assessment and cohort study. ... Read more...

Host specialization and phylogenetic diversity of Corynespora cassiicola.

30 Aug 2009 The fungus Corynespora cassiicola is primarily found in the tropics and subtropics, and is widely diverse in substrate utilization and host association. Isolate characterization within C. cassiicola was undertaken to investigate how genetic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Ascomycota'

Definition: A phylum of fungi which have cross-walls or septa in the mycelium. The perfect state is characterized by the formation of a saclike cell (ascus) containing ascospores. Most pathogenic fungi with a known perfect state belong to this phylum.

Descriptor UI: D001203

Alternative terms: Ascomycota; Ascomycetes; Cochliobolus; Sclerotinia;

Allowable Qualifiers: classification; cytology; drug effects; enzymology; genetics; growth & development; immunology; isolation & purification; metabolism; pathogenicity; physiology; radiation effects; ultrastructure; chemistry; virology;
