Establishing mutualistic relationships between plants and fungi is crucial for overcoming
nutrient deficiencies in plants. This review highlights the intricate nutrient sensing and …

Phosphate is an essential macronutrient for fungal proliferation as well as a key mediator of
antagonistic, beneficial, and pathogenic interactions between fungi and other organisms. In …

Living systems are built from a small subset of the atomic elements, including the bulk
macronutrients (C, H, N, O, P, S) and ions (Mg, K, Na, Ca) together with a small but variable …

There is an urgent need for new antifungal drugs to treat invasive fungal diseases.
Unfortunately, the echinocandin drugs that are fungicidal against other important fungal …

Phosphorus is essential in all cells' structural, metabolic and regulatory functions. For fungal
cells that import inorganic phosphate (Pi) up a steep concentration gradient, surface Pi …

In the human-pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, the inositol polyphosphate
signaling pathway is critical for virulence. We recently demonstrated the key role of the …

Malassezia yeasts are lipid dependent and part of the human and animal skin microbiome.
However, they are also associated with a variety of dermatological conditions and even …

Betaine lipids (BL) are relatively understudied non‑phosphorus glycerolipids. They are
