The Eurotiales is a relatively large order of Ascomycetes with members frequently having
positive and negative impact on human activities. Species within this order gain attention …

Antimicrobial photodynamic treatment (aPDT) is a light-based method developed for the
inactivation of microorganisms. With the emergence of antifungal-and antibiotic-resistant …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Penicillium roqueforti is a major cause of fungal food spoilage. Its conidia are the main
dispersal structures of this fungus and therefore the main cause of food contamination …

Sustainable fungal materials have a high potential to replace non-sustainable materials
such as those used for packaging or as an alternative for leather and textile. The properties …

Incorporating beneficial microorganisms in crop production is the most promising strategy for
maintaining agricultural productivity and reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers, herbicides …

The horizontal transfer of large gene clusters by mobile elements is a key driver of
prokaryotic adaptation in response to environmental stresses. Eukaryotic microbes face …

Natural products can contribute to abiotic stress tolerance in plants and fungi. We
hypothesize that biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), the genomic elements that underlie …

Abstract Background The filamentous fungi Paecilomyces variotii and Penicillium roqueforti
are prevalent food spoilers and are of interest as potential future cell factories. A functional …

Abstract Analysis of numerous air samples has indicated that dormant, viable fungal spores
are highly present, which suggests that aerial dispersion is important for fungi. Whereas the …
