Co-occurrence of airborne allergenic pollen grains and fungal spores in Rzeszów, Poland (2000-2002)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 The co-occurrence of airborne allergenic pollen grains and fungal spores was estimated in Rzeszów in the years 2000-2002. The volumetric method was used in this aerobiological study. Six taxa of pollen grains and five types of fungal spores characterized

Surface tension propulsion of fungal spores [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARYMost basidiomycete fungi actively eject their spores. The process begins with the condensation of a water droplet at the base of the spore. The fusion of the droplet onto the spore creates a momentum that propels the spore forward. The use of surface tension for spore ejection offers a new paradigm to perform work at small length scales. However,

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2022 Microbial biofouling on polymer surfaces can lead to their biodeterioration. This may result in deterioration of the surface, leading to cracking and fracturing. Fungal spores from Aspergillus niger 1957, Aspergillus niger 1988 and Aureobasidium pullulans were tested ...
