In their natural habitats, unicellular fungal microbes are exposed to a myriad of mechanical
cues such as shear forces from fluid flow, osmotic changes, and contact forces arising from …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

H 2 O is one of the most essential molecules for cellular life. Cell volume, osmolality and
hydrostatic pressure are tightly controlled by multiple signaling cascades and they drive …

Understanding the interactions of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the cell surface is crucial
for the evaluation of bactericidal activity and for advanced biomedical and environmental …

Marked differences in surface characteristics were observed among three types of single-
cell propagules produced by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. Atomic …

Chromium (Cr) contamination in an aquatic environment is one of the greatest concerns
nowadays. However, biosorption by various microorganisms is proven to be an …

Mycotoxin contamination in certain agricultural commodities has been a serious concern for
human and animal health. Mycotoxins are substances produced mostly as secondary …

Microbes can modify their surface structure as an adaptive mechanism for survival and
dissemination in the environment or inside the host. Altering their ability to respond to …

Cellulase production by Aspergillus niger was compared in three different culture systems:
biofilm, solid-state, and submerged fermentation. Biofilm and solid-state fermentations were …

Biomass organization of Aspergillus niger biofilms and pellets stained with fluorescein
isothiocyanate were analyzed by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy and …
