The paper identifies four major Cyp51 gene family groups across fungi using sequence analysis and phylogenetic trees, highlighting the conservation of Cyp51B in filamentous Ascomycota.

The paper shows that the environment where Aspergillus fumigatus spores are produced affects the germination variability among genetically identical spores.

The paper identifies mutations in A. fumigatus that confer resistance to both clinical azoles and agricultural QoI fungicides, suggesting an agricultural origin for clinical resistance.

This study shows that septins in Aspergillus nidulans coordinate cell wall integrity and lipid metabolism through sphingolipid-dependent mechanisms, with distinct roles for core and noncore septins.
