Host lung environment limits Aspergillus fumigatus germination through a SskA-dependent signaling response

M. E. Kirkland, M. Stannard, C. H. Kowalski, D. L. Mould, A. K. Caffrey-Carr, R. M. Temple, B. S. Ross, L. A. Lofgren, J. E. Stajich, R. A. Cramer, J. J. Obar

The paper identifies a SskA-dependent signaling pathway that limits Aspergillus fumigatus germination in the host lung environment, enhancing disease initiation and inflammation.

A heterogeneously expressed gene family modulates biofilm architecture and hypoxic growth of Aspergillus fumigatus

C. H. Kowalski, K. A. Morelli, J. E. Stajich, C. D. Nadell, R. A. Cramer

This paper identifies a gene family in Aspergillus fumigatus that modulates biofilm architecture and hypoxic growth, with potential applications in clinical and industrial settings.

Strain specific persistence in the murine lung of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia causes an Allergic Broncho-Pulmonary Aspergillosis-like disease phenotype

J. T. Jones, K.-W. Liu, X. Wang, C. H. Kowalski, B. S. Ross, K. A. M. Mills, J. D. Kerkaert, T. M. Hohl, L. A. Lofgren, J. E. Stajich, J. J. Obar, R. A. Cramer

This study identifies an A. fumigatus strain, W72310, that persists in the mouse lung and causes ABPA-like disease without significant hyphal growth.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa lasR mutant fitness in microoxia is supported by an Anr-regulated oxygen-binding hemerythrin

M. E. Clay, J. H. Hammond, F. Zhong, X. Chen, C. H. Kowalski, A. J. Lee, M. S. Porter, C. S. Greene, E. V. Pletneva, D. A. Hogan

This paper identifies an Anr-regulated hemerythrin, Mhr, that enhances fitness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lasR mutants in microoxic conditions by binding oxygen.

Characterizing the pathogenic, genomic, and chemical traits of Aspergillus fischeri, a close relative of the major human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus

M. E. Mead, S. L. Knowles, H. A. Raja, S. R. Beattie, C. H. Kowalski, J. L. Steenwyk, L. P. Silva, J. Chiaratto, L. N. Ries, G. H. Goldman, R. A. Cramer, N. H. Oberlies, A. Rokas

This study compares Aspergillus fischeri and Aspergillus fumigatus to understand differences in pathogenicity, finding A. fischeri is less virulent, grows slower under stress, and has divergent secondary metabolism.
