Taurus Voronin (named after the Russian botanist M. S. Voronin [2] ) is a dense protein micro-body (modified peroxisome ), often found near septa in marsupials and able to clog the central pore. Presumably, their main function is to stop intercellular exchanges and prevent the loss of cytoplasm when hyphae are damaged [3] [4] .
Study History
Voronin bodies were first described in the fungus Ascobolus pulcherrimus by the Russian botanist M.S. Voronin in 1864. Later they were discovered in many marsupial mycelial fungi, among which there are animal and human pathogens. It was shown that the group of fungi with Voronin bodies is monophyletic [5] .
