It’s hard to overestimate the importance of fungi—and easy to understate how little we know about them. Scientists have described a little over 100,000 different species, while estimating that there ...

In a new study published in Trends in Biotechnology, researchers used a gene-editing technology called CRISPR to increase a fungus's production efficiency and cut its production-related environmental ...

During plant growth, plants are often subjected to various biotic and abiotic stresses that strongly limit their growth and ...

A fungal fusion protein of cytochrome b5 and its reductase transfers electrons to cytochrome P450 CYP540A2, enabling the hydroxylation of medium-chain fatty acids. This pathway provides an alternative ...
