Mating type (MAT) locus and possible sexuality of the opportunistic pathogen Exophiala dermatitidis
Metin, Banu; Döğen, Aylin; Yıldırım, Esra; de Hoog, G. Sybren; Heitman, Joseph; Ilkit, Macit (ACADEMIC PRESS LTD-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019)Sexual reproduction among the black yeasts is generally limited to environmental saprobic species and is rarely observed among opportunists in humans. To date, a complete sexual cycle has not been observed in Exophiala ... -
MTL genotypes, phenotypic switching, and susceptibility profiles of Candida parapsilosis species group compared to Lodderomyces elongisporus
Doğen, Aylin; Metin, Banu; İlkit, Macit; de Hoog, G. Sybren; Heitman, Joseph (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017)Reference isolates of Candida parapsilosis (n = 8), Candida metapsilosis (n = 6), Candida orthopsilosis (n = 7), and Lodderomyces elongisporus (n = 11) were analyzed to gain insight into their pathobiology and virulence ... -
MTL genotypes, phenotypic switching, and susceptibility profiles of Candida parapsilosis species group compared to Lodderomyces elongisporus
Döğen, Aylin; Metin, Banu; Ilkit, Macit; de Hoog, G. S.; Heitman, Joseph (Wiley, 2017)Reference isolates of Candida parapsilosis (n = 8), Candida metapsilosis (n = 6), Candida orthopsilosis (n = 7), and Lodderomyces elongisporus (n = 11) were analyzed to gain insight into their pathobiology and virulence ... -
Sexual reproduction in dermatophytes
Metin, Banu; Heitman, Joseph (Springer, 2017)Sexual reproduction is a rich source of genetic variation and commonly observed among fungi. Basically two different modes of sexual reproduction are observed in fungi, namely heterothallism where two compatible mating ... -
She loves me, she loves me not: on the dualistic asexual/sexual nature of dermatophyte fungi
Metin, Banu; Heitman, Joseph (Springer, 2020)Dermatophytes are ascomycetous fungi whose sexuality is greatly influenced by their ecology. Sexual reproduction is ubiquitous among soil-related geophiles and some animal-associated zoophiles. In contrast, anthropophiles ... -
Whole-genome analysis illustrates global clonal population structure of the ubiquitous dermatophyte pathogen trichophyton rubrum
Persinoti, Gabriela F.; Martinez, Diego A.; Li, Wenjun; Dogen, Aylin; Billmyre, R. Blake; Averette, Anna; Goldberg, Jonathan M.; Shea, Terrance; Young, Sarah; Zeng, Qiandong; Oliver, Brian G.; Barton, Richard; Metin, Banu; Hilmioglu-Polat, Suleyha; Ilkit, Macit; Graser, Yvonne; Martinez-Rossi, Nilce M.; White, Theodore C.; Heitman, Joseph; Cuomo, Christina A. (Genetics Society America, 2018)Dermatophytes include fungal species that infect humans, as well as those that also infect other animals or only grow in the environment. The dermatophyte species Trichophyton rubrum is a frequent cause of skin infection ...
