Respiratory quinones in Archaea: phylogenetic distribution and application as biomarkers in the marine environment.

abstract：:Mucormycosis is an emergent, fatal fungal infection of humans and warm-blooded animals caused by species of the order Mucorales. Immune cells of the innate immune system serve as the first line of defence against inhaled spores. Alveolar macrophages were challenged with the mucoralean fungus Lichtheimia corymbifera an...
