Filamentous fungi are central to the production of enzymes, organic acids, antibiotics and other high-value compounds in submerged and semi-solid fermentation systems. Their growth form—ranging from ...

Filamentous fungi extend multicellular networks through hyphae, tubular filaments that grow by apical extension at their tips. This process is powered by a coordinated supply of cell wall material and ...

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 ...

Utilizing a filamentous fungus in the gut microbiome may provide a new strategy for treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Researchers have developed an innovative method ...

Researchers at UC Davis have created small balls of edible fungi that can be processed into products like boba and lab-grown caviar. Pictured are biological and agricultural engineering doctoral ...

Cell lines represent a particularly tight bottleneck in biomanufacturing. Conventional cell lines—such as those used in CHO, bacterial, and baculovirus–insect cell expression systems—reveal their ...

The fungal kingdom is rich and expansive, but scientists estimate that only about 10 percent of the total number of fungal species has been described and characterized. When microbiologist Diego ...
