Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) constitute an enigmatic class of enzymes,
the discovery of which has opened up a new arena of riveting research. LPMOs can …

The global environment is dominated by various small exotic substances, known as
secondary metabolites, produced by plants and microorganisms. Plants and fungi are …

The discovery of oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds by enzymes currently known as lytic
polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has profoundly changed our current …

Investigation of fungal biology has been frequently motivated by the fact that many fungal
species are important plant and animal pathogens. Such efforts have contributed …

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mononuclear copper enzymes that act
in synergy with glycoside hydrolases to saccharify the most abundant polysaccharides in …

Fungi often adapt to environmental stress by altering their size, shape, or rate of cell division.
These morphological changes require reorganization of the cell wall, a structural feature …

In many filamentous fungi, germinating spores cooperate by fusing into supracellular
structures, which develop into the mycelial colony. In the model fungus Neurospora crassa …

Organisms require the ability to differentiate themselves from organisms of different or even
the same species. Allorecognition processes in filamentous fungi are essential to ensure …

Filamentous fungi typically grow as interconnected multinucleate syncytia that can be
microscopic to many hectares in size. Mechanistic details and rules that govern the …

The evolution of multicellularity has been one of the major transitions in the history of life. In
contrast to animals and plants, how multicellularity evolved in fungi and how it compares to …
