Synchrotron FTIR can provide high spatial resolution (< 10 μm pixel size) in situ biochemical
analyses of intact biotissues, an area of increasing importance in the post-genomic era, as …

Fungi impact humans and the environment in many ways, for good and ill. Some fungi
support the growth of terrestrial plants or are used in biotechnology, and yet others are …

Cell function is related to cell composition. The asexual state of filamentous fungi (molds and
mildews) has two main life cycle stages: vegetative hyphae for substrate colonization and …

Biofilms are assemblages of microbial cells, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), and
other components extracted from the environment in which they develop. Within biofilms, the …

The diffraction-limited spot size of synchrotron-based IR microscopes provides cell-specific,
spectrochemical imaging of cleared leaf, stem and root tissues of the model genetic …

Hyphae of filamentous fungi consist of compartments that are distinct both spatially and
functionally, thereby forming a unique multicellular system. Much work has been done …

A long‐standing desire in biogeochemistry is to be able to examine the cycling of elements
by microorganisms, as the processes are happening on surfaces of earth and environmental …

Filamentous fungi produce a wide range of relevant biotechnological compounds. The close
relationship between fungal morphology and productivity has led to a variety of analytical …

Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy has been
used widely for probing the molecular properties of materials. Coupling a synchrotron …

Filamentous fungi naturally grow on solid surfaces, yet most genetic and biochemical
analyses are still performed in liquid cultures. Here, we report a multiplexing platform using …
