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 ...

Yeast filamentous growth is a highly regulated cellular differentiation response, enabling cells to assume an elongated morphology when confronted with environmental stress or nutrient limitation.

The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...

Patulin is a harmful mycotoxin produced by fungi typically found in damaged fruits, including apples, pears, and grapes. In a recent breakthrough, researchers identified a new filamentous fungal ...

While filamentous algae blooms are creating a significant shift in the ecosystem structure of western rivers, researchers see minimal change in the river's ecosystem metabolism and function.

Large amounts of filamentous algae, known as FAB, are appearing in Western U.S. waterways. Researchers report findings about these plant-like organisms in the Dec. 9, 2025, issue of the journal ...
