Lipoxygenase Activity Accelerates Programmed Spore Germination in Aspergillus fumigatus

Lipoxygenase Activity Accelerates Programmed Spore Germination in Aspergillus fumigatus

The opportunistic human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus initiates invasive growth through a programmed germination process that progresses from dormant spore to swollen spore (SS) to germling (GL) and ultimately invasive hyphal growth. We find a lipoxygenase with considerable homology to human Alox5...
