The characteristic growth pattern of fungal mycelia as an interconnected network has a major impact on how cellular events operating on a micron scale affect colony behavior at an ecological scale. Network structure is intimately linked to flows of resources across the network that in turn modify the network architecture itself. This complex interplay shapes the incredibly plastic behavior of f...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus that causes paracoccidioidomycosis. The yeast form of this pathogen is found in the animal host whereas the mycelial form is recovered from living and non-living organic material. The sole carbon source available in these habitats is represented by polysaccharides from the plant cell wall. Hydrolytic enzymes are necessary to convert ...

A novel method for selecting overproducing strains of rifamycin B was developed. This technique involves the use of lysozyme and the effect of barbital on the growth of A. mediterranei. Complete medium added with glycine and barbital was inoculated with mutagenized mycelium, incubated for 48 hours and treated with lysozyme. The lysozyme resistant mycelium was washed with dilute detergent. Compl...

and production of streptomycin by Actinomyces streptomycini is postulated to involve NADPglycohydrolase (E. C. 3. 2. 2. 6)4>. A-factor was reported to stimulate the formation of NADPglycohydrolase in Str-Amymutants and the product, phospho-adenosinediphosphoribose, was found to act as a competitive inhibitor of the enzymes of carbohydrate catabolism4> and the citrate cycles' during development ...

Mycelium-based biofoam has the potential to become an alternative petroleum-polymeric based-foam by utilising fungal mycelium and lignocellulosic material as matrix substrate, respectively. The materials, which were rice husk, sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, is crucial for production of biofoam, tested a substrate Pleurotus ostreatus growth during screening procedure. Three factors varied mycelium-...

The genus Aspergillus represents a diverse group of fungi that are among the most abundant fungi in the world. Germination of a spore can lead to a vegetative mycelium that colonizes a substrate. The hyphae within the mycelium are highly heterogeneous with respect to gene expression, growth, and secretion. Aspergilli can reproduce both asexually and sexually. To this end, conidiophores and asco...

mycelium and aerial hyphae. Spiral spore chains of 10 to 30 or more spores were observed at the tips of aerial hyphae on the various ISP agar media. Fragmentation of substrate mycelium, sclerotium and sporangia-like vesicles was not observed. The cultural characteristics of strain A-230 on various agar media are summarized in Table 1. The physiological properties and the utilization of carbohyd...

Mycelium adalah sumber alami dan terbarukan kaya akan polimer struktural berharga, seperti chitin chitosan. Chitin merupakan makromolekul linier yang terdiri dari unit N-acetylglucosamin. Kuat tarik tergolong sangat kuat, berkisar 1,5-3 GPa dihasilkan oleh tingginya momen dipol ikatan hidrogen antar rantai makromolekul. Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) mengandung nutrisi kimia potensial untuk ...
