Burkholderia from fungus gardens of fungus-growing ants produce antifungals that inhibit the specialized parasite Escovopsis.
(2021-06)
Within animal-associated microbiomes, the functional roles of specific microbial taxa are often uncharacterized. Here, we use the fungus-growing ant system, a model for microbial symbiosis, to determine the potential ...
Escovopsioides as a fungal antagonist of the fungus cultivated by leafcutter ants
(2018-10-10)
Background: Fungus gardens of fungus-growing (attine) ants harbor complex microbiomes in addition to the mutualistic fungus they cultivate for food. Fungi in the genus Escovopsioides were recently described as members of ...
Induction and secretion of elastinolytic and proteolytic activity in cultures of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(2008-10-28)
P. brasiliensis parasitizes various human tissues and proteinases exported by this fungus may allow it to metabolize and invade host tissues. The influence of the culture medium on the production of proteinases by P. ...

Isolation and growth of the symbiotic fungus of Atta capiguara (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(2007-11-15)
This work's objectives were to isolate and evaluate the growth of the symbiotic fungus of Atta capiguara Gonçalves on artificial medium, under different pH and temperature conditions. Isolation was accomplished using the ...

Inhibition of the symbiotic fungus of leaf-cutting ants by coumarins
(2005-05-01)
Leaf-cutting ants are known to be a serious pest for agriculture due to the high amounts of vegetal matter from crops used by them in order to cultivate a symbiotic fungus on which they rely for food and enzymes. The ...
Characterization of Rhizoctonia solani associated with soybean in Brazil
(2002-10-01)
Rhizoctonia solani causes pre- and post-emergence damping-off, root and hypocotyl rot and foliar blight in soybean. Foliar blight has resulted in yield losses of 31-60% in north and northeast Brazil. The aim of this study ...
