EST analysis of genes expressed by the zygomycete pathogen Conidiobolus coronatus during growth on insect cuticle
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Conidiobolus coronatus (Zygomycota) is a facultative saprobe that is a pathogen of many insect species. Almost 2000 expressed sequence tag (EST) cDNA clones were sequenced to analyse gene expression during growth on insect cuticle. Sixty percent of the ESTs that could be clustered into functional groups (E<or=10(-5)) had their best BLAST hits among fungal sequences. These included chitinases and multiple...
