Fungal diversity and Aspergillus in hospital environments [PDF]
Introduction and objective Nosocomial invasive fungal infections, particularly aspergillosis, are an increasing problem in immunocompromised patients. The presented study evaluates fungal diversity and the presence of Aspergillus in air samples from two hospitals.

The diversity of fungal genome [PDF]
The genome size of an organism varies from species to species. The C-value paradox enigma is a very complex puzzle with regards to vast diversity in genome sizes in eukaryotes. Here we reported the detailed genomic information of 172 fungal species among different fungal genomes and found that fungal genomes are very diverse in nature.

Studying fungal pathogens of humans and fungal infections: fungal diversity and diversity of approaches [PDF]
Seminal work by Louis Pasteur revealed the contribution of fungi - yeasts and microsporidia to agroindustry and disease in animals, respectively. More than 150 years later, the impact of fungi on human health and beyond is an ever-increasing issue, although often underestimated. Recent studies estimate that fungal infections, especially those caused by

The Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset for boosting fungal diversity research
Fungi are highly important biotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a very limited understanding about their diversity and distribution. This data article releases a global soil fungal dataset of the Global Soil Mycobiome consortium

Fungal–fungal and fungal–bacterial interactions in aquatic decomposer communities: bacteria promote fungal diversity [PDF]
AbstractFungi produce a variety of extracellular enzymes, making recalcitrant substrates bioavailable. Thus, fungi are central for the decomposition of dead organic matter such as leaf litter. Despite their ecological importance, our understanding of relationships between fungal species diversity and ecosystem functioning is limited, especially with ...

Fungal endophyte diversity in soybean [PDF]
To determine the identity and diversity of endophytes in soybean plants using culture-dependent (CD) and culture-independent (CI) methods.Stem samples were collected from three field-grown soybean cultivars grown to a reproductive stage in Minnesota, USA. Samples were surface disinfested, and CD and CI methods were used to assess the endophytes.

Fungal xylanolytic enzymes: Diversity and applications
As important polysaccharide degraders in nature, fungi can diversify their extensive set of carbohydrate-active enzymes to survive in ecological habitats of various composition. Among these enzymes, xylanolytic ones can efficiently and sustainably degrade xylans into (fermentable) monosaccharides to produce valuable chemicals or fuels from, for example

Metabolomics analysis of mycelial exudates provides insights into fungal antagonists of Armillaria
The genus Armillaria has high edible and medical values, with zones of antagonism often occurring when different species are paired in culture on agar media, while the antagonism-induced metabolic alteration remains unclear.
