The Hydrophobin Gene Family Confers a Fitness Trade-off between Spore Dispersal and Host Colonization in Penicillium expansum

mBio, 2022
Hydrophobins are small amphipathic surface proteins found exclusively in fungi. In filamentous ascomycetes, one conserved role of a subset of hydrophobins is their requirement for spore dispersal.

Significant influence of fungi on coarse carbonaceous and potassium aerosols in a tropical rainforest

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Fungal spores are ubiquitous in the Earth’s atmosphere, especially in the environment of tropical rainforests with intense biological activities.

Selection of Infective Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Isolates for Field Inoculation

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2010
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a key role in host plant growth and health, nutrient and water uptake, plant community diversity and dynamics. AM fungi differ in their symbiotic performance, which is the result of the interaction of two fungal ...

Novel inactivation of the causative fungal pathogen of white-nose syndrome with methoxsalen plus ultraviolet A or B radiation

PLoS ONE, 2020
White-nose syndrome is a fungal disease responsible for the rapid decline of North American bat populations. This study addressed a novel method for inactivating Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the causative agent of WNS, using ultraviolet A (UVA) or B ...

Distribution of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Upland Field Soil of Japan 1. Relationship Between Spore Density and The Soilenvironmental Factor

Plant Production Science, 2007
To Quantify The Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Am Fungi) On The Growth of Upland Field Crops Cultivated in Japan, We Analyzed Soil Samples From 124 Sites in 18 Japanese Prefectures For Available P Content, Ph and Am Fungal Spore Density. The Am

Bio-Production of Pigments from Some Local Fungal Isolates by Solid State Fermentation using some Agro- Industrial Wastes [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2022
Four local fungal isolates were used in this study to produce pigments using some agro- industrial wastes via solid state fermentation. The maximum production of pigments by Talaromyces purpureogenus (MT232241.1) was obtained when broken wheat was used ...

Seasonality in antarctic airborne fungal spores [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997
Airborne fungal spores were monitored over periods of up to 131/2 months at three sites on Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic. Fungal spore concentrations in the air were much lower than in other parts of the world. Concentrations were very low during the austral winter but increased during the austral summer.

Modelling of atmospheric concentrations of fungal spores: a 2-year simulation over France using CHIMERE [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Fungal spore organic aerosol emissions have been recognised as a significant source of particulate matter as PM10; however, they are not widely considered in current air quality models.
