Unveiling the mechanisms for microtubule-based peroxisome motility and distribution by exploiting the filamentous fungus U. maydis

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous subcellular organelles, which fulfil important metabolic functions, notably the β-oxidation of fatty acids and the metabolism of hydrogen peroxide, and are thus essential for human health and development. The filamentous fungus Ustilago maydis is a biotrophic, basidiomycet...
