To maintain iron homeostasis, fungi have to balance iron acquisition, storage, and utilization
to ensure sufficient supply and to avoid toxic excess of this essential trace element. As …

Copper (Cu) is a vital trace element for maintaining human health. Current evidence
suggests that genes responsible for regulating copper influx and detoxification help …

The superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is a large family of proteins with
a wide substrate repertoire and range of functions. The main role of these proteins is in the …

Iron homeostasis in fungi involves balancing iron uptake and storage with iron utilization to
achieve adequate, nontoxic levels of this essential nutrient. Extensive work in the …

The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, first discovered as high-affinity nutrient
importers in bacteria, rose to prominence when their ability to confer multidrug resistance …

Fungal pathogens threaten human health both directly as infectious agents and indirectly by
limiting crop production, and new approaches are desperately needed to combat fungal …

Myriocin, which is produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LZN01, can inhibit the growth of
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon). In the present study, the antifungal mechanism of …

Iron homeostasis is important for growth, reproduction and other metabolic processes in all
eukaryotes. However, the functions of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in iron …

Malassezia restricta is an opportunistic fungal pathogen on human skin; it is associated with
various skin diseases, including seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff, which are usually …

Microorganisms have to adapt their metabolism to the requirements of their ecological niche
to avoid iron shortage as well as iron toxicity. Therefore, mechanisms have been evolved to …
