Filamentous fungi are renowned for the production of a diverse array of secondary
metabolites (SMs) where the genetic material required for synthesis of a SM is typically …

Filamentous fungi that produce mycotoxins also demonstrate the ability to degrade a wide
variety of naturally occurring and anthropogenically generated hazardous wastes. Hence …

An aspect of mycotoxin biosynthesis that remains unclear is its relationship with the cellular
management of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we conduct a comparative study of the …

Manufactured silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have long been used as antimicrobials.
However, little is known about how these NPs affect fungal cell functions. While multiple …

The acoustic microscope is a powerful tool for the observation of biological matters. Non-
