The use of mycoviruses in the control of forest diseases [PDF]
Producción CientíficaFifteen families of mycoviruses have been described and 80% of these catalogued. However, their evolutionary relationship with fungi is not clear.

Cordyceps militaris is an entomopathogenic ascomycete, known primarily for infecting lepidopteran larval (caterpillars) and pupal hosts. Cordycepin, a secondary metabolite produced by this fungus has anti-inflammatory properties and other pharmacological

Identification, Molecular Characterization, and Biology of a Novel Quadrivirus Infecting the Phytopathogenic Fungus Leptosphaeria biglobosa. [PDF]
Here we report the molecular characterisation of a novel dsRNA virus isolated from the filamentous, plant pathogenic fungus Leptosphaeria biglobosa and known to cause significant alterations to fungal pigmentation and growth and to result in ...

Coinfection of a Fungal Pathogen by Two Distinct Double-Stranded RNA Viruses [PDF]
Unsegmented double-stranded (ds)RNA viruses belonging to the family Totiviridae persistently infect protozoa and fungi. In this study, two totiviruses were found to coinfect the filamentous fungus Sphaeropsis sapinea, a well known pathogen of pines.

A fungal skin is a thin flexible sheet of a living homogeneous mycelium made by a filamentous fungus. The skin could be used in future living architectures of adaptive buildings and as a sensing living skin for soft self-growing/adaptive robots. In experimental laboratory studies we demonstrate that the fungal skin is capable for recognising mechanical

Photonics of fungal cell wall [PDF]
The cell wall serves as a mechanical protection for the fungi and controls the traffic of molecules entering the cell. However, the optical role of the cell wall has not been fully investigated. In this work, we use a computational simulation to evaluate the optical response of the fungal cell wall.

Succession of physiological stages hallmarks the transcriptomic response of the fungus Aspergillus niger to lignocellulose. [PDF]
BackgroundUnderstanding how fungi degrade lignocellulose is a cornerstone of improving renewables-based biotechnology, in particular for the production of hydrolytic enzymes.

Long Non-Coding RNAs in Cryptococcus neoformans: Insights Into Fungal Pathogenesis
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are highly expressed and can modulate multiple cellular processes including transcription, splicing, translation, and many diverse signaling events. LncRNAs can act as sponges for miRNAs, RNA and DNA binding proteins, functioning as competitive endogenous RNAs.

Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide in plant biomass and an important precursor of soil organic matter formation. Fungi play a key role in carbon cycling dynamics because they tend to decompose recalcitrant materials.
