Project description:Mrakia psychrophlila is a psychrophilic fungus widely spread all over the world. The cold adaptation mechanism of Mrakia psychrophila is unknown. Using RNA sequencing, differentially expressed genes of Mrakia psychrophila cultured at 4, 12 and 20 degree centigrade are identified. The result may be benefit for understanding cold adaptation of microorganisms.
Project description:Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous and subcutaneous mycosis, is caused by dematiaceous fungi, the most frequently implicated are Fonsecaea, Phialophora, Cladophialophora, Rhinocladiella and Exophiala. We report a woman who was treated before with mycological cure, but she experience a relapse requiring treatment again. Direct microscopic examination and skin biopsy with culture were necessary to identify a Exophiala psychrophila, and for our knowledge this is the first case reported.
Project description:We report the transcriptome response of Exophiala dermatitidis submitted to different temperature conditions 2 Temperature conditions (45C, 1C), 2 exposition length (1 hour, 1 week) compared to optimal condition (37C)
