| Research Abstract |
Controlling of fungal biofilms has been an important issue to supply clean environments for industrial, medical and living purposes. Biofilm formation in Ascomycete filamentous fungi starts with the fungal adhering to substrate surfaces. This surface adhesion apperes to be induced by fungal recognition of the surface physiological cues. In this project, we studied mechanisms that triggered adhesion in the Ascomycete fungi, Magnaporthe oryzae. Our results suggested that recognition signaling of certain surface cues negatively regulated the fungal adhesion. We also identified a conserved cell wall protein which was involved in the surface adhesion. Our study will contribute to the further understanding of fungal adhesion mechanisms and the development of anti-biofilm technologies.
