Biological context of Exophiala

 

Associations of Exophiala with chemical compounds

  • Pulmonary infection due to Exophiala jeanselmei: successful treatment with ketoconazole [10].
  • Synchronous yeast-phase cultures of Wangiella dermatitidis were induced by starvation, heat shock, and inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by hydroxyurea [11].
  • The yeast-like fungus Exophiala jeanselmei degrades styrene via initial oxidation of the vinyl side chain to phenylacetic acid, which is subsequently hydroxylated to homogentisic acid [12].
  • Temperature-sensitive morphological mutants of Wangiella dermatitidis were stained with mithramycin, a fluorescent nuclear stain [13].
  • Characterization of the 19F NMR spectra of metabolite profiles of a series of fluorophenols, converted by purified phenol hydroxylase, catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, and/or by the yeast-like fungus Exophiala jeanselmei, provided possibilities for identification of the 19F NMR chemical shift values of fluorinated catechol and muconate metabolites [14].
 

Gene context of Exophiala

  • In the absence of a transformation system for Ci, we also used a reported method of introduction of heterologous DNA into cells of the phylogenetically related fungus, Wangiella dermatitidis, to confirm the function of the Ci URA5 gene [15].
  • Expression of a constitutively active Cdc42 homologue promotes development of sclerotic bodies but represses hyphal growth in the zoopathogenic fungus Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis [16].
  • We analyzed a 402-bp sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of 34 strains of Exophiala jeanselmei and 16 strains representing 12 related species [17].
  • Styrene metabolism in Exophiala jeanselmei and involvement of a cytochrome P-450-dependent styrene monooxygenase [12].
  • Ninety-seven isolates of Cladosporium spp., Exophiala spp., Fonsecaea spp., Lecythophora hoffmannii, Phaeoannellomyces werneckii, Phialophora spp., Wangiella dermatitidis, and Xylohypha bantiana were used to evaluate the API 20C Yeast Identification System for the differentiation of dematiaceous fungi [18].
