Turgor (hydrostatic pressure within the cell) is a major driving force for cell expansion in fungi and in other walled cells. It is created by the accumulation of solutes inside the cell.

But how does this switching ability occur? “When we got rid of the Sir2 gene, we saw less of the true hyphae form,” says Zhao, first author and a PhD candidate in biological sciences, College of Arts ...

A protein called Sir2 may facilitate C. albicans' transition from ovoid yeast to thread-like hypha. C. albicans cells that were missing the Sir2 gene were less likely to form true hyphae in lab ...

Your Artstor image groups were copied to Workspace. The Artstor website will be retired on Aug 1st. American Journal of Botany Vol. 15, No. 9, Nov., 1928 Composition of Fungus Hyphae I. The Fusa ...

C. albicans cells that were missing the Sir2 gene were less likely to form true hyphae in lab experiments than cells of the same species that had that gene. “When we got rid of the Sir2 gene, we saw ...

A new study shows when fast-growing fungal filaments (hyphae) pass through a narrow channel, vesicles bundle up and mislocalize away from the growing tip region, resulting a swollen tip that ...

The main body of a fungus is actually a large interwoven network called the mycelium, which consists of incredibly thin fungal tubes called hyphae. These hyphae are a bit like plant roots ...
