The thermal and hygric characteristics of four bio-based insulation composites (mycelium, hemp, grass cork) are investigated, their hygrothermal performances including mould growth potential simulated analysed under typical construction details various climates profiles. cork composite is found to have the best performance suitable all investigated without growth, due its hydrophobic nature low...

For the successful operation of aerobic fermentations it is essential to supply the microorganiisms with sufficient oxygen to meet their requirements at any stage in the process. Failure to supply enough oxygen may lead to undesirable changes in enzymatic makeup (Rolinson, 1952) or death of the organisms (Hromatka et al., 1951), with a subsequent lower yield of the desired product. In general, ...

Optimal methods for the preparation of fungal mycelium examination with scanning electron microscope

The fungus Mortierella elongata FMR23-6 harbors an endobacterium inside its mycelium. Attempts to isolate the endobacterium from the fungus were not yet successful, but a highly purified bacterial fraction was prepared. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the endobacterium.

In addition to their well-recognized roles in plant nutrition and communities, mycorrhizas can influence the key ecosystem process of soil aggregation. Here we review the contribution of mycorrhizas, mostly focused on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), to soil structure at various hierarchical levels: plant community; individual root; and the soil mycelium. There are a suite of mechanisms by w...
