Abstract Dimorphic organisms possess the remarkable genome capacity to alternate genetic information between two distinct life forms. In dimorphic Mucorales, lineages can reversibly transition between yeast and mycelium as a function of environmental stimuli. However, how genetic information produces two divergent life evolves in a single genome remains unresolved. Here, we report hundreds of gene families exhibiting convergent evolution for dimorphism.

Albumin orchestrates a natural host defence mechanism against mucormycosis - Nature Original

Abstract Mucormycosis is an emerging, life-threatening human infection caused by Mucorales fungi1,2,3. Metabolic disorders uniquely predispose an ever-expanding group of patients to mucormycosis through poorly understood mechanisms1,2,4,5, suggesting that uncharacterized host metabolic effectors may confer protective immunity against this infection. Here we uncover a master regulatory role of albumin in host defence against Mucorales through the modulation of fungal pathogenicity.
