Utilizing Electrical Geophysical Methods to Map Mycorrhizal Mycelium Networks Non-Invasively
<p>Mycorrhizal mycelium networks are a key component to forest health. These networks act as a transportation system for nutrients, are major players in carbon and nitrogen cycling, and can provide some level of drought resistance to the surrounding flora. Due to the location and size of these …

Cellulase and related enzyme activity in protoplasts and mycelium of filamentous fungi.
Production of cellulase, pectinase and xylanase was investigated using culture filtrates from selected mesophilic (Aspergillus niger, Penicillium funiculosum, Penicillium janthinellum, Penicillium ochrochloron, Trichoderma viride), thermotolerant (Aspergillus fumigatus) and thermophilic (Geosmithia …

Optimisation of Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of Basidiomycota : spores, latex and mycelium
… of this work discusses an explorative study of mycelium cultures of common wood rots. The Raman spectra are discussed and compared with the Raman spectra of infected and unifected Fagus and Pinus wood. In this way, it was shown that hyphae of a wood rot fungus can be detected in infected wood, …

Pilot-scale production and physicochemical properties of mycelium-based materials and diversity assessment of a fungal biobank
Mycelium-based materials offer a sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic materials used in protective packaging, insulation, and other applications. Lightweight, water-resistant biomaterials can be produced by using mycelium as a binding agent for agricultural byproducts. In this study, …

In Pursuit of a Grown Environment: Material-Driven Design Exploration of Mycelium-Based Composites for Consumer Product Applications
… the viability of using highly sustainable mycelium-based composites (MBCs) to replace unsustainable materials across multiple consumer product applications by responding to the question, "How can design help realize a grown environment?" A "grown environment," in the scope of this work, is …

Higher fungi in soils of coastal Arctic tundra plant communities
Presence and abundance of filamentous soil mycelium was determined in North American coastal Arctic tundra soils near Barrow, Alaska. Soils were examined at one centimeter intervals from the surface to the depth of thaw, 0-24 cm, over a three year period during the International Biological …

Molecular analysis of the dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans
… profile of a PBS soluble extract from standard mycelium profile of S. lacrymans FPRL 12C. Both techniques enabled a reference profile for this organism to be established. A polyclonal antiserum raised against standard mycelium of S. lacrymans FPRL 12C was used as the immunological probe. …

Iron in the substrates and sporophores of Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Pilat during growth and development
… substrates the concentration of iron in the mycelium of the substrates and in developing sporophores was observed during culture. Findings indicated that the compost was the major source of iron and that the concentration of iron in the compost mycelium varied cyclically in relation to the …

BIOACTIVE-RICH MUSHROOMS FOR FOOD REFORMULATION
… Moreover, the use in food applications of BRM mycelium or whole fermented biomass, obtained through SSF, is still poorly investigated. Within this context, this PhD project investigated the potential application of BRM mycelium or fermented biomass for food reformulation, aiming to introduce …

Conversion of triacylglycerols into monoacylglycerols by penicillium roquefortii
… produced by spores and emerging mycelium were 1(3)-monoacylsn-lycerols (in suspension culture). Monopalmitin was the major MAG from butter and Shea oils. Monoacylglycerols produced by fungal mycelium (in solid-state culture) were mainly the 1 (3 )-monoacyl-sn-glycerols although …

Continuum models for fungal growth
… (yeasts) or in a vegetative state in which a mycelium, i.e. an interconnected network of tubes (hyphae) is formed. The mycelium can operate over a very large range of scales (each hypha is only a few microns in diameter, yet mycelia can be kilometres across). Fungi are of fundamental …

Identification, Validation, and Mapping of Phytophthora sojae and Soybean Mosaic Virus Resistance Genes in Soybean
… with pathogen-based phenotyping in the form of a mycelium-based trifoliate screening assay. One RIL population has been screened with virulent P. sojae mycelium. Disease phenotyping has generated a preliminary genetic map for resistance in soybean accession PI408132. The identification of novel …

Exploring the potential of Antifungal Peptides to suppress the Pathogenicity of the Botrytis cinerea and Grey Mould Disease in Grapes and Strawberries
… BX analogue completely suppressed the growth of mycelium at 6.25 μM while spore germination was completely inhibited at the 12.5 μM concentrations of peptide BD and BX. Further it was established that the same Battacin analogue with different lengths (different number of copies) exhibited …

The morphology, ecology and fungicidal tolerance of Botrytis cinerea isolates
… 1 (T1) characterised by regular, rapidly growing mycelium and type 2 (T2) characterised by sparse, often distorted, slow growing mycelium. The frequency with which isolates produced these morphological types varied considerably. The reaction to benomyl of both types obtained remained the same as …

Molecular systematics and population genetics of Hypoxylon truncatum sensu Miller using RAPD
… This method described involves treating ground mycelium with a lysis buffer containing SDS, followed by precipitation of contaminants using CsCl. Using DNA isolated by this method, the effects of several parameters on PCR amplification were investigated. These parameters included different …
