University of Southern California researchers developed a process using a waste-eating fungus to turn carbon fiber materials ...

Some molds are harmless to most people, while others can be dangerous. Some species of Aspergillus mold are in the dangerous category. All indoor mold should be eliminated, but knowing the ...

Aspergillus fumigatus is a mold that is found all over the world. Unlike closely related species, it can cause serious, often fatal infections in humans. What makes A. fumigatus so dangerous?

Jennings and Williams 1 directed attention to the fact that kojic acid is a common product of fungus metabolism and may account for the antibacterial properties of a number of fungi not yet ...

The fungus that causes coffee wilt disease repeatedly took up segments of DNA from a related fungal pathogen, which contributed to successive outbreaks of the disease. Lily Peck of Imperial ...

fungi can evolve rapidly. Here, Bottery et al show that resistance to next generation antifungals is more likely to occur within azole resistant Aspergillus fumigatus due to the close linkage ...

Fungi can create valuable materials from broken-down carbon fiber, potentially revolutionizing the recycling process.

In some rare cases, it can lead to pneumonia. In people who are immunocompromised, a common mold called Aspergillus can sometimes cause serious infections in the lungs. Your primary care doctor or ...

The following is a summary of “Fungal biomarkers in HIV-associated disseminated histoplasmosis: a multicenter diagnostic ...

These strains had genetic changes in genes that control the fungus's system which repairs mutated DNA - known as the mismatch ...

Previous studies have shown that similar horizontal gene transfer events contributed to new outbreaks of other pathogens, including potato blight, certain wheat fungal pathogens and Aspergillus ...
