Fungi play a major role in the global carbon cycle because of their ability to utilize plant
biomass (polysaccharides, proteins, and lignin) as carbon source. Due to the complexity and …

The burden of fungal infections is not widely appreciated. Although these infections are
responsible for over one million deaths annually, it is estimated that one billion people are …
