Entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana reduce the survival of Xenopsylla brasiliensis larvae (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae). [PDF]

, 2012
Entomopathogenic fungi, particularly those belonging to the genera Metarhizium and Beauveria have shown great promise as arthropod vector control tools. These agents, however, have not been evaluated against flea vectors of plague.

Rationalizing the Unexpected Inefficiencies of 3D Porphyrin‐MOFs as Singlet Oxygen Photosensitizers Against Botrytis cinerea

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Unexpected results show that the singlet‐oxygen based antifungal activity of porphyrin‐based Metal‐Organic Frameworks is far below expectations while the standalone ligand is more efficient. We attribute these behaviours to inefficient exciton migration and gas diffusion leading to low singlet oxgyen concentrations at and beyond the MOF‐gas interface ...

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi [PDF]

, 2010
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells.

Self‐Sterilizing Face Mask Employing Enzymatic Power Generation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electric face mask with flexible biofuel cell integration for on‐the‐go sterilization is developed utilizing ethanol oxidation via alcohol dehydrogenase, and oxygen reduction via bilirubin oxidase. Modified face mask exhibited bacterial death rates of 40–60% at only 20 µA of electric current, easily generated by the biofuel cell continuously over hours
