The process of invasive hyphal growth allows fungi to acquire nutrients from diverse solid
materials of biological and synthetic origin. It is a defining characteristic of the fungi and is at …

Fungi meet their energetic needs by absorbing nutrients from diverse materials of biological
and synthetic origin. Filamentous species elaborate colonies of branched hyphae that …

Fungi invade new territory by tubular extensions (hyphae) that ramify through the substrate
to form a mycelial network. The growth of the hyphae has physical components: The …

Video-enhanced light microscopy of the apical and subapical regions of growing hyphae of
several fungal species revealed the existence of momentary synchronized motions of …

Fungal hyphae grow by extending their tips. Although we have known it is the case for half a
century (142) we are only recently beginning to appreciate the complexity of the process of …

Apical growth of fungal hyphae represents a relatively simple instance of cellular
morphogenesis. Thanks to the polarized transport and exocytosis of precursor vesicles, new …

The mechanisms underlying the growth of fungal hyphae are rooted in the physical property
of cell pressure. Internal hydrostatic pressure (turgor) is one of the major forces driving the …

Filamentous fungi constitute a large group of eukaryotic microorganisms that grow by
forming simple tube-like hyphae that are capable of differentiating into more-complex …

Filamentous fungi are a large and evolutionarily successful group of organisms of enormous
ecological importance (27, 114). Fungi also have a considerable impact on our economy …

Hyphae of filamentous fungi extend at the apex by a polarized mechanism that involves the
highly ordered and regulated delivery of secretory vesicles. In Dikarya fungi these tip …
