Biomimetic Nanopillar Silicon Surfaces Rupture Fungal Spores. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 The mechano-bactericidal action of nanostructured surfaces is well-documented; however, synthetic nanostructured surfaces have not yet been explored for their antifungal properties toward filamentous fungal species. In this study, we developed a biomimetic nanostructured surface inspired by dragonfly wings. A high-aspect-ratio nanopillar topography was

Fungi: friends or foes—an outreach science initiative for the collection of airborne fungal spores by high school students [PDF]
Journal of Microbiology & Biology EducationFungi mostly reproduce through spores that are adapted for airborne dispersal; hence, fungal spores (and fungi) are found virtually everywhere. Fungi can be “friends or foes.” Our friends include fungi used in the food and biotech industries, fungi that ...

Demulsification of crude oil-in-water emulsions by means of fungal spores. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The present feature describes for the first time the application of spores from Aspergillus sp. IMPMS7 to break out crude oil-in-water emulsions (O/W). The fungal spores were isolated from marine sediments polluted with petroleum hydrocarbons. The spores

The Survival of Different Fungal Spores During Tabletting
Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2017 The survival of dried spores of A.flavus, Penicillia Spp., and Cladosporia Spp.inoculated into multivitamins and folic acid tablets were examined at different compression pressures.Survival of fungal spores decreased with increasing compression pressure.
