On resistive spiking of fungi [PDF]
We study long-term electrical resistance dynamics in mycelium and fruit bodies of oyster fungi P. ostreatus. A nearly homogeneous sheet of mycelium on the surface of a growth substrate exhibits trains of resistance spikes. The average width of spikes is c.~23~min and the average amplitude is c.~1~kOhm.

An Alignment-Free Approach for Eukaryotic ITS2 Annotation and Phylogenetic Inference [PDF]
The ITS2 gene class shows a high sequence divergence among its members that have complicated its annotation and its use for reconstructing phylogenies at a higher taxonomical level (beyond species and genus).

On size and growth of cells [PDF]
Understanding how growth induces form is a longstanding biological question. Many studies concentrated on the shapes of plant cells, fungi or bacteria. Some others have shown the importance of the mechanical properties of bacterial walls and plant tissues in pattern formation. Here I sketch a simple physical picture of cell growth.

Reactive fungal wearable [PDF]
Smart wearables sense and process information from the user's body and environment and report results of their analysis as electrical signals. Conventional electronic sensors and controllers are commonly, sometimes augmented by recent advances in soft electronics.

Screening and assay of extracellular enzymes in Phomopsis azadirachtae causing die-back disease of neem [PDF]
Phomopsis azadirachtae is the causal agent of destructive die-back disease of neem. The mol. mechanism of pathogenicity is not clear. Pectinases, cellulases, hemicellulases and ligninases have been extensively studied because of their plant cell wall ...

Surface modified sulfur nanoparticles can escape the glutathione reductase mediated detoxification system in fungi [PDF]
The antifungal effects of orthorhombic (~10 nm; spherical) and monoclinic (~50 nm; tetrapod) sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) were studied against the NADPH-dependent glutathione reductase (GR) mediated xenobiotic detoxification system (GSH-GSSG) in filamentous fungi (Aspergillus niger as a model organism).

Automated Quantification of the Impact of the Wood-decay fungus Physisporinus vitreus on the Cell Wall Structure of Norway spruce by Tomographic Microscopy [PDF]
Wood-decay fungi decompose their substrate by extracellular, degradative enzymes and play an important role in natural ecosystems by recycling carbon and minerals fixed in plants. Thereby, they cause significant damage to the wood structure and limit the use of wood as building material.
