The Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District recently shared the following information about green algae to educate community members: “Have you noticed thick, stringy algae floating on your ...

A research team analyzed the regulatory mechanisms of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzyme production in Aspergillus aculeatus, a filamentous fungus that produces enzymes with an excellent ability to ...

The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...

While filamentous algae blooms are creating a significant shift in the ecosystem structure of western rivers, researchers see minimal change in the river's ecosystem metabolism and function.

Filamentous fungi play a pivotal role in industrial biotechnology, where their complex morphology directly influences fermentation performance and product yields. The dynamic nature of their hyphal ...

Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFBs) are exactly what they sound like - a group of bacteria defined by their morphology. These bacteria were first described in 1974, but they have not been formally ...

Patulin is a harmful mycotoxin produced by fungi typically found in damaged fruits, including apples, pears, and grapes. In a recent breakthrough, researchers identified a new filamentous fungal ...
