Carbon source-induced changes in the physiology of the cacao pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa (Basidiomycetes) affect mycelial morphology and secretion of necrosis-inducing proteins

F. C. Alvim, Mattos, E. M., Pirovani, C. P., Gramacho, K., Pungartnik, C., Brendel, M., Cascardo, J. C. M., and Vincentz, M., Carbon source-induced changes in the physiology of the cacao pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa (Basidiomycetes) affect mycelial morphology and secretion of necrosis-inducing proteins, vol. 8, pp. 1035-1050, 2009.

Quantitative and qualitative relationships were found between secreted proteins and their activity, and the hyphal morphol­ogy of Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of witches’ broom disease in Theobroma cacao. This fungus was grown on fermentable and non-fermentable carbon sources; significant differences in myce­lial morphology were observed and correlated with the carbon source.
