They may use Wood's lamp, a small black light, while they look at your skin. Some fungi, such as Malassezia yeast, will glow under a black light. Malassezia usually glows a yellow-green color.

Now, researchers have developed a building material made of mycelium—the tubular, branching filaments found in most fungi—and bacteria cells. As detailed in a study published last week in the ...

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cultivarium, a non-profit bioengineering firm, announced today a three-year project to develop advanced tools for life scientists studying fungi and archaea. With ...

Bacterial infections kill almost 8m people a year, and most are associated with resistant bacteria. But in recent years another kind of microbe has displayed worrying levels of resistance ...

This is not always easy. The other group of bacteria, heterotrophic bacteria – the ones that decompose organic matter – divide 30-60 times faster than nitrifying bacteria. Hence, if given the ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can do this, but harnessing commercial forms of the naturally occurring fungi as a management tool is complicated by everything from rootstock genotype to soil type and ...

When Mary Cowser ’25 stepped through the door of her mold and mushrooms class during her first year in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, she had no idea it would mark the ...

In some fungi and in two species of bacteria it was shown also that exposure to 10 atm. pressure of pure oxygen completely suppressed the growth of the organisms. However, unlike the tissues of ...

WASHINGTON, DC — Research on the gut microbiome — and clinical attention to it — has focused mainly on bacteria, but bacteriophages and fungi play critical roles as well, with significant ...

Scientists use small peptides to enhance symbiosis between plants and fungi, offering a sustainable alternative to artificial fertilizers. Plant biologists discover new plant molecule, CLE16 ...
