American Naturalist, 2015 Fungus-farming (attine) ant agriculture is made up of five known agricultural systems characterized by remarkable symbiont fidelity in which five phylogenetic groups of ants faithfully cultivate five phylogenetic groups of fungi.

Bioinspired Strong and Tough Layered Bulk Composites via Mycelial Interface Anchoring Strategy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An interface anchoring strategy, which fixes the interface between the soft and hard phases to immobilize 2D materials, by leveraging the growth of biological living mycelium is proposed. This approach results in the formation of a lightweight and strong composite material (the LBCs) with a layered structure composed of soft and hard phases.

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 5, January 26, 2023., 2023 A lyophilized preparation of an unspecific peroxygenase variant from Agrocybe aegerita (rAaeUPO‐PaDa‐I‐H) is a highly effective catalyst for the oxygenation of a diverse range of N‐heterocyclic compounds. Scalable, high yielding and enantioselective biocatalytic oxygenations have been developed, including 27 preparative examples (ca.

Termite mounds harness diurnal temperature oscillations for ventilation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 112.37 (2015):
11589-11593, 2017 Many species of millimetric fungus-harvesting termites collectively build uninhabited, massive mound structures enclosing a network of broad tunnels which protrude from the ground meters above their subterranean nests. It is widely accepted that the purpose of these mounds is to give the colony a controlled micro-climate in which to raise fungus and ...

Complementary symbiont contributions to plant decomposition in a fungus-farming termite
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014 Significance Old World (sub)tropical fungus-growing termites owe their massive ecological footprints to an advanced symbiosis with Termitomyces fungi. They also have abundant gut bacteria, but the complementarity roles of these symbionts have remained ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Leukocytes sense mechanical cues provided by surrounding cells to regulate motility. Replicating the confining pressures applied by soft, elastic tissues in vitro is challenging. Here, the use of liquid‐liquid interfaces is introduced to model forces exerted by surrounding cells. Confining pressures are tunable by controlling interfacial curvature, and

Geospatial Health, 2014 Emerging infectious diseases can present serious threats to wildlife, even to the point of causing extinction. Whitenose fungus (Pseudogymnoascus destructans) is causing an epizootic in bats that is expanding rapidly, both geographically and ...
