A Six-Year Airborne Fungal Spore Calendar for a City in the Sonoran Desert, Mexico: Implications for Human Health

Journal of Fungi
Fungal spore calendars for Mexico are non-existent. This research represents the first fungal spore concentration data in the atmosphere of Hermosillo, Mexico, a city in the Sonoran Desert with high rates of allergies and public health problems.

Demulsification of crude oil-in-water emulsions by means of fungal spores. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The present feature describes for the first time the application of spores from Aspergillus sp. IMPMS7 to break out crude oil-in-water emulsions (O/W). The fungal spores were isolated from marine sediments polluted with petroleum hydrocarbons. The spores

Indirect effects of beneficial fungal treatments on pest insects can vary with plant genotype and spore viability

Biological Control
Fungal entomopathogens as biopesticides are typically applied as foliar sprays and assessed for their insecticidal activity. However, plant responses to these microbial treatments remain poorly understood.

Two Unreported Glomeromycota Fungi Isolated from Rhizospheres of Smilax china

한국균학회지, 2019
We isolated fungal spores belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota from the rhizospheres of Smilax china, cultured in a greenhouse. We identified the isolated spores using sequence analysis of 18S partial rDNA region, internal transcribed spacer and 28S ...

Regional-scale simulations of fungal spore aerosols using an emission parameterization adapted to local measurements of fluorescent biological aerosol particles [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
Fungal spores as a prominent type of primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) have been incorporated into the COSMO-ART (Consortium for Small-scale Modelling-Aerosols and Reactive Trace gases) regional atmospheric model.

Aerosolization of Aspergillus niger spores from colonies on different positions of a circular tube [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
Subject to the blowing air, fungal spores can be aerosolized from the colonies growing on cooling coils. The blowing air may accelerate and decelerate when passing a coil.

Impacts of stress and aging on spore health in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Microbiology Spectrum
Most fungi can produce dormant, long-lived cells known as spores (e.g., conidia and ascospores). Spores play a critical role in fungal biology and human health, but much about spores is unknown.

Robust Phagocyte Recruitment Controls the Opportunistic Fungal Pathogen Mucor circinelloides in Innate Granulomas In Vivo

mBio, 2018
Mucormycosis is an emerging fungal infection with extremely high mortality rates in patients with defects in their innate immune response, specifically in functions mediated through phagocytes.

Deep learning application to hyphae and spores identification in fungal fluorescence images

Scientific Reports
This study explores the application of deep learning to fungal disease diagnosis, focusing on an automated detection system for hyphae and spores in clinical samples. This study employs a combination of the YOLOX and MobileNet V2 models to analyze fungal
