Bhatti, Muhammad Faraz; Kotta-Loizou, Loly; Coutts, Robert H. A. (2024-04-12) -
The Expanding Mycovirome of Aspergilli
Battersby, Josephine L.; Stevens, David A.; Coutts, Robert H. A.; Havlíček, Vladimír; Hsu, Joe L.; Sass, Gabriele; Kotta-Loizou, Ioly (2024-08-17)Mycoviruses are viruses that infect fungi and are widespread across all major fungal taxa, exhibiting great biological diversity. Since their discovery in the 1960s, researchers have observed a myriad of fungal phenotypes ... -
Fetus Exposure to Drugs and Chemicals: A Holistic Overview on the Assessment of Their Transport and Metabolism across the Human Placental Barrier
Kotta-Loizou, Ioly; Pritsa, Agathi; Antasouras, Georgios; Vasilopoulos, Spyridon N.; Voulgaridou, Gavriela; Papadopoulou, Sousana K.; Coutts, Robert H. A.; Lechouritis, Eleftherios; Giaginis, Constantinos (2024-06-01)Background: The placenta exerts a crucial role in fetus growth and development during gestation, protecting the fetus from maternal drugs and chemical exposure. However, diverse drugs and chemicals (xenobiotics) can penetrate ... -
Freeing Aspergillus fumigatus of Polymycovirus Infection Renders It More Resistant to Competition with Pseudomonas aeruginosa Due to Altered Iron-Acquiring Tactics
Patil, Rutuja H.; Kotta-Loizou, Ioly; Palyzová, Andrea; Pluháček, Tomáš; Coutts, Robert H. A.; Stevens, David A.; Havlíček, Vladimír (2021-06-22)A virus-free (VF) A. fumigatus isolate has been shown to be resistant in competition with Pseudomonas as compared to the isogenic line infected with Aspergillus fumigatus polymycovirus 1 (AfuPmV-1), and this phenotype was ... -
Identification and sequence determination of a new chrysovirus infecting the phytopathogenic fungus Dothistroma septosporum
Shah, Unnati A.; Daudu, John O.; Filippou, Charalampos; Tubby, Katherine V.; Coutts, Robert H. A.; Kotta-Loizou, Ioly (2023-04-18)A new double-stranded (ds) RNA mycovirus has been identified in isolate Ds752-1 of the phytopathogenic fungus Dothistroma septosporum, the causal agent of Dothistroma needle blight, also known as red band needle blight or ... -
Novel Viroid‐Like RNAs Naturally Infect a Filamentous Fungus
Dong, Kaili; Xu, Chuan; Kotta‐Loizou, Ioly; Jiang, Jingjing; Lv, Ruiying; Kong, Linghong; Li, Shifang; Hong, Ni; Wang, Guoping; Coutts, Robert H. A.; Xu, Wenxing (2022-12-14)To date, viroids have been found to naturally infect only plants, resulting in substantial losses for some crops. Whether viroids or viroid‐like RNAs naturally infect non‐plant hosts remains unknown. Here the existence of ... -
Virus Infection Impairs Fungal Response to Stress: Effect of Salt
Stevens, David A.; Kotta-Loizou, Ioly; Martinez, Marife; Coutts, Robert H. A.; Sass, Gabriele (2023-03-10)Infection with Aspergillus fumigatus polymycovirus 1 (AfuPmV-1) weakens the resistance of biofilms of common A. fumigatus reference strain Af293 in intermicrobial competition with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and sensitizes A. ...
