Selected examples of chromatin-level control affecting aspects of fungal development

Developmental aspect:	Organism:	Phenotypic Description:	Reference:
Nitrate and Proline utilization	Aspergillus nidulans	Nitrate and proline genes are clustered Inducing/repressive conditions alter nucleosome positioning in promoter and histone H3 acetylation patterns	[50,51].
Adhesion	Candida glabrata	Adhesins important pathogenicity factors in C. glabrata Adhesins are produced by telomerically located EPA genes EPA genes regulated by TPE and HDAC's	[52]
Growth and Reproduction Defects	Neurospora crassa	Severe growth defects in null mutants of the H3K9 methyltransferase and heterochromatin protein 1.	[53,54]
	Aspergillus fumigatus	Null mutant of H3K9 methyltransferase shows impaired growth and delayed asexual development	[55]
