A block of Tomme de Savoie cheese ages with a sweater of Mucor lanceolatus fungal mold. Mucor itself doesn't have a strong taste, but more flavorful bacteria can travel far and wide along its hyphae â ...

Researchers have found key differences that explain why some species of fungi can grow successfully through tiny gaps, whereas other fungi -- typically those with faster growth rates -- cannot squeeze ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The ability of several species of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi to form hyphae in soil was compared in two glasshouse ...

A team of scientists at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, shed new light on how pathogenic fungi can penetrate tissues by squeezing through tiny gaps between plant and animal cells whereas ...

The hyphae of filamentous fungi exhibit a highly polarized mode of cell extension and all generate electrical currents around their hyphal tips. Of the 13 fungi that have been examined with the ...

When a soil dries out, this has a negative impact on the activity of soil bacteria. Using an innovative combination of state-of-the-art analysis and imaging techniques, researchers have now discovered ...
