FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM STRAINS AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS AGAINST FUSARIUM WILT: EFFECTS ON SOIL MICROBIAL BIOMASS AND ACTIVITY

Fusarium oxysporum strains as biocontrol agents against Fusarium wilt: effects on soil microbial biomass and activity

Before planning the large-scale use of nonpathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum as biocontrol agents of Fusarium wilt, their behaviour and potential impact on soil ecosystems should be carefully studied as part of risk assessment.The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of antagonistic F.oxysporum strains, genetically manipulated (T26/6)

Fascin Controls Metastatic Colonization and Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation by Remodeling Mitochondrial Actin Filaments

Summary: The deregulation of the actin cytoskeleton has been extensively studied in metastatic dissemination.However, the post-dissemination role of the actin cytoskeleton dysregulation is poorly understood.Here, we report that fascin, an actin-bundling protein, promotes lung cancer metastatic colonization by augmenting metabolic stress resistance
