This study identifies hydrophobins as key proteins enabling fungal binding to microplastics, offering potential strategies for mitigating microplastic-related health risks.

This study examines phenotypic and genotypic variation in Schizophyllum commune strains, finding high diversity in mushroom development and lignocellulose degradation, with conserved genes for these traits across genomes.

This study examines transcription factor repertoires in the Fusarium oxysporum species complex, finding expanded families linked to host-specific adaptation and pathogenicity.

The paper shows that secondary metabolism gene clusters in Xylariales fungi are linked to broader ecological roles and increased gene diversity.
