Disruption of sit1 alters germination, slows growth, reduces virulence, and triggers compensatory iron-uptake genes (FRE, FET4, FET3), revealing intertwined iron-acquisition pathways in mucormycosis. Important insights for antifungal strategies.

"Role of the putative sit1 gene in normal germination of spores and virulence of the Mucor lusitanicus" by Vágó et al. explores how sit1, a siderophore transporter, is key for proper spore germination and full virulence in Mucor lusitanicus. Read more: shorturl.at/cmD5W
