Transcription profiling of parasitic fungus Monacrosporium haptotylum during infection of nematode C. elegans
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This investigation was designed to follow the parasitic fungus Monacrosporium haptotylum during infection of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. M. haptotylum traps nematodes using a spherical structure called knob, which develops on the apex of a hyphal branch. The advantage of using this species is that the unicellular knobs can be separated from the mycelium that has been grown in liquid culture. The isolated knobs retain the function as infection structures. The cDNA microarray contained 2,778 M. haptotylum and 588 C. elegans gene reporters. The experiments was designed as a time course study including infected and non-infected tissue, over 24 hours which involves stages of adhesion, penetration and digestion of the infected nematodes.
