Filamentous Fungi in Cheese Production
Metin, Banu (IGI GLOBAL, 2018)Filamentous fungi play important roles in the production of a variety of cheeses. The most famous are the blue cheeses, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola, in which Penicillium roqueforti is the principal mold, and the moldy ... -
Mating genotypes and susceptibility profiles of clinical isolates of Candida glabrata from Turkey
The sexual cycle of Candida glabrata is not known; however, genomic evidence is indicative of recombination among subpopulations and the genome harbours genes necessary for undergoing mating and meiosis, which may increase ... -
Mating type (MAT) locus and possible sexuality of the opportunistic pathogen Exophiala dermatitidis
Metin, Banu; Dogen, Aylin; Yildirim, Esra; de Hoog, G. Sybren; Heitman, Joseph; Ilkitf, Macit (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 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
Dogen, Aylin; Metin, Banu; Ilkit, 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 ... -
Overview of selected virulence attributes in Aspergillus fumigants, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Trichophyton rubrum, and Exophiala dermatitidis
Boral, Hazal; Metin, Banu; Dogen, Aylin; Seyedmousavi, Seyedmojtaba; Ilkit, Macit (ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2018)The incidence of fungal diseases has been increasing since 1980, and is associated with excessive morbidity and mortality, particularly among immunosuppressed patients. Of the known 625 pathogenic fungal species, infections ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
