In the control of plant diseases, biocontrol has the advantages of being efficient and safe for
human health and the environment. The filamentous fungus Trichoderma harzianum and its …

Modern taxonomy has developed towards the establishment of global authoritative lists of
species that assume the standardized principles of species recognition, at least in a given …

The genus Trichoderma is among the best studied groups of filamentous fungi, largely
because of its high relevance in applications from agriculture to enzyme biosynthesis to …

Beneficial interactions between plants and rhizosphere microorganisms are key
determinants of plant health with the potential to enhance the sustainability of agricultural …

Research into plastic-degrading bacteria and fungi is important for understanding how
microorganisms can be used to address the problem of plastic pollution and for developing …

Hydrophobins are small amphipathic surface proteins found exclusively in fungi. In
filamentous ascomycetes, one conserved role of a subset of hydrophobins is their …

Many filamentous fungi develop a conidiation process as an essential mechanism for their
dispersal and survival in natural ecosystems. However, the mechanisms underlying conidial …

Higher fungi can rapidly produce large numbers of spores suitable for aerial dispersal. The
efficiency of the dispersal and spore resilience to abiotic stresses correlate with their …

A stressing method was adopted to produce Trichoderma harzianum TI21 spores in a dual-
layer with an outer-layer spore free of media-residue by reconditioning the starch-based rice …

Hydrophobins are small amphipathic proteins conserved in filamentous fungi. In this review,
the properties and functions of Aspergillus hydrophobins are comprehensively discussed on …
