Melanin as a virulence factor of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and other dimorphic pathogenic fungi: a minireview
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Melanin pigments are substances produced by a broad variety of pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and helminths. Microbes predominantly produce melanin pigment via tyrosinases, laccases, catecholases, ...
Antigenic similarities to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in thermo-dependent dimorphic fungi isolated from soil in Botucatu, SP, Brazil
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 1997-01-01)
We compared the antigenic characteristics of two thermo-dependent dimorphic fungi isolated from soil in Botucatu, an endemic area of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. The soil isolates grew ...
Isolation of fungi from nature in the region of Botucatu, state of São Paulo, Brazil, an endemic area of paracoccidioidomycosis
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 1996-12-01)
In an attempt to isolate Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from nature 887 samples of soil from Botucatu, SP, Brazil, were collected cultured in brain heart infusion agar supplemented with dextrose, in potato dextrose agar and ...
Phylogenetic and evolutionary aspects of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis reveal a long coexistence with animal hosts that explain several biological features of the pathogen
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-09-01)
The habitat of the mycelial saprobic form of Paracoccidio ides brasiliensis, which produces the infectious propagula, has not been determined and has proven difficult for mycologists to describe. The fungus has been rarely ...
Drk1, a dimorphism histidine kinase, contributes to morphology, virulence, and stress adaptation in paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(2021-10-01)
P. brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus belonging to Paracoccidioides complex, causative of a systemic, endemic mycosis limited to Latin American countries. Signal transduc-tion pathways related to important aspects ...
Synthesis and Anti-Paracoccidioides Activity of Calix[n]arenes

Regulatory role of the PKA pathway in dimorphism and mating in Yarrowia lipolytica
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2009-05)
Previous studies on the dimorphic transition of Yarrowia lipolytica suggested opposite roles for MAPK and PKA pathways in this phenomenon. To obtain conclusive evidences for these opposite roles we isolated and disrupted ...
The Human PathogenParacoccidioides brasiliensisHas a Unique 1-Cys Peroxiredoxin That Localizes Both Intracellularly and at the Cell Surface
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2020-08-04)
Paracoccidioides brasiliensisis a temperature-dependent dimorphic fungus that causes systemic paracoccidioidomycosis, a granulomatous disease. The massive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the host's cellular ...
