during emergent growth in Schizophyllum commune, and are a novel class of small secreted …

summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ancient Zygomycetes, thought to have
colonized the first land plants; today, they are associated with the roots of about 80% of plant …

Hydrophobins are a remarkable class of small cysteine-rich proteins found exclusively in
fungi. They self-assemble to form robust polymeric monolayers that are highly amphipathic …

Hydrophobins are small, moderately hydrophobic proteins secreted by fungi and containing
eight cysteine residues in a conserved pattern. Most hydrophobins have been discovered as …

Mycelial fungi secrete small, cysteine-rich, proteins, called hydrophobins, that self-assemble
at hydrophilic-hydrophobic interfaces into amphipathic membranes, highly insoluble in case …

Introduction Important nutrients in forest soils such as nitrogen and phosphorus are mostly
recycled from natural polymeric compounds contained in litter and organic debris—for …
