Environmental interactions with amoebae as drivers of bacterial-fungal endosymbiosis and pathogenicity

H. Itabangi, P. Sephton-Clark, X. Zhou, G. P. Starling, Z. Mahamoud, I. Insua, M. Probert, J. Correia, P. Moynihan, Y. Gu, T. Gebremariam, A. S. Ibrahim, G. D. Brown, J. S. King, E. R. Ballou, K. Voelz

The paper identifies a bacterial endosymbiont in Rhizopus microsporus that enhances fungal virulence by suppressing amoeba predation and macrophage clearance.

Bacterial endosymbionts influence fungal transcriptional profiles with implications for host response in the human fungal pathogens Rhizopus microsporus and Rhizopus delemar

P. Sephton-Clark, J. F. Munoz, H. Itabangi, K. Voelz, C. Cuomo, E. Ballou

This study examines how bacterial endosymbionts affect the transcriptional profiles of two fungal species, Rhizopus delemar and Rhizopus microsporus, and their interactions with innate immune cells.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa inhibits Rhizopus microsporus germination through sequestration of free environmental iron

C. Kousser, C. Clark, K. Voelz, R. A. Hall

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa inhibits Rhizopus microsporus spore germination by sequestering environmental iron through siderophore secretion, reducing host mortality in a zebrafish model.
