Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Mitochondria of Metarhizium anisopliae contain an alternative oxidase (AOX), which reduces oxygen to water by accepting electrons directly from ubiquinol. AOX activity is demonstrated in situ as a constitutive enzyme. Greatest activity of AOX appears at the beginning and at the end of the fungal developmental cycle, germination of aerial conidia and the formation of submerged conidia, respectively. Changes in nutritional conditions, e.g., the presence of host insect cuticle or nutrient starvation had no effect on the induction of AOX activity. Antimycin A, an electron transport chain inhibitor, induced AOX activity. Cloning of the AOX DNA and the alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of a segment of the AOX gene from M. anisopliae shows structural similarities with other AOX sequences with differing levels of variation when compared with homologous sequences from plants, yeasts, and filamentous fungi. Alternative oxidase in entomopathogenic fungi may have a positive contribution to ecological fitness.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
