In an article featured in Science China Earth Sciences, researchers from Tianjin University elucidate the coupling relationship between soil fungi and reactive minerals in ecosystems by utilizing ...

This is an image of the hyphae, or threads, and fruiting bodies of an Aspergillus fungus. The tubelike branching structures are the hyphae (1), which make up the mycelium that is the main “body” of a ...

In short, fungi eat death, and in doing so, create new life. Fungi hyphae form mycelium that connects trees and plants in an underground fungal highway — called the wood-wide web ...

Mechanically sensitive proteins called gellins sense and respond to protoplasm flowing out of severed hyphae, quickly sealing up injuries in these root-like structures of fungi. Viviane was a ...

Fungi have hyphae, which are root-like filaments that extend out in the soil. Bacteria can use these hyphae as "fungal highways". Most bacteria can't move efficiently through soil, so bacteria ...

However, hyphae come in different shapes: some have rounded tips, while others are pointed. Water molds, which are ...

They presented the tool in PLOS Computational Biology October 31. The majority of the world’s 5 million fungus species produce a complex network of filamentous structures called hyphae to transport ...

This gives a high index of suspicion for a fungal infection. PAS (periodic acid-Schiff) stain of sinus content shows septated hyphae branching at 45 degrees characteristic of aspergillosis.

The researchers found out how an important RNA-binding protein (for short: RBP) called Khd4 regulates the growth of infectious hyphae—the filament-like form of the fungi, only this form triggers ...

A study from the U.K. showed that the mycelium networks of mushrooms communicate via electrical signals in what appears to be ...
