▪ Abstract Class I and class II hydrophobins are small secreted fungal proteins that play a
role in a broad range of processes in the growth and development of filamentous fungi. For …

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 …

Hydrophobins are among the most surface active molecules and self-assemble at any
hydrophilic–hydrophobic interface into an amphipathic film. These small secreted proteins of …

Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of maize and a well-established model organism
for the study of plant–microbe interactions 1 . This basidiomycete fungus does not use …

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is widely exploited by the fermentation industry for
the production of enzymes and organic acids, particularly citric acid. We sequenced the 33.9-…

Fungi are well known to the casual observer for producing water-repelling aerial moulds and
elaborate fruiting bodies such as mushrooms and polypores. Filamentous fungi colonize …

Much remains to be learned about the biology of mushroom-forming fungi, which are an
important source of food, secondary metabolites and industrial enzymes. The wood-degrading …

Streptomycetes exhibit a complex morphological differentiation. After a submerged
mycelium has been formed, filaments grow into the air to septate into spores. A class of eight …

Agaricus bisporus is the model fungus for the adaptation, persistence, and growth in the
humic-rich leaf-litter environment. Aside from its ecological role, A. bisporus has been an …

Commercial mushrooms are produced on lignocellulose such as straw, saw dust, and wood
chips. As such, mushroom-forming fungi convert low-quality waste streams into high-quality …
