Petroleum-based plastic materials as pollutants raise concerns because of their impact on
the global ecosystem and on animal and human health. There is an urgent need to remove …

▪ Abstract Class I and class II hydrophobins are small secreted fungal proteins that play a
role in a broad range of processes in the growth and development of filamentous fungi. For …

Hydrophobins are among the most surface active molecules and self-assemble at any
hydrophilic–hydrophobic interface into an amphipathic film. These small secreted proteins of …

Fungi are well known to the casual observer for producing water-repelling aerial moulds and
elaborate fruiting bodies such as mushrooms and polypores. Filamentous fungi colonize …

Mechanisms of soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stabilization are of great interest,
due to the potential for increased CO 2 release from soil organic matter (SOM) to the …

The present study systematically evaluated the potential of Candida subhashii, Fusarium
solani and their consortium for the abatement of n-hexane, trichloroethylene (TCE), toluene …

Understanding the mechanisms underlying protein misfolding and aggregation has become
a central issue in biology and medicine. Compelling evidence show that the formation of …

The increasing influence of human activity and industrialization has adversely impacted the
environment via pollution with organic contaminants, which are minimally soluble in water …

Hydrophobins are self-assembling proteins of fungal origin. Their ability to self-assemble
into an amphipathic membrane is of interest for many different applications, ranging from …

The hydrophobin EAS from the fungus Neurospora crassa forms functional amyloid fibrils
called rodlets that facilitate spore formation and dispersal. Self-assembly of EAS into fibrillar …
