There are relatively few fungi that are pathogenic to humans. However, fungi pathogens are more difficult to treat than bacteria pathogens because treatments that kill the fungi also often harm human cells as both are eukaryotic cells. Byysmina— On Jan 25, 2011 ...

Other etiological agents are fungi (mostly Aspergillus spp., with mucormycosis on the rise in recent years), Pneumocystis, and viruses (respiratory syncytial virus, metapneumovirus, varicella zoster and human herpes virus, cytomegalovirus, SARS-CoV-2) [32,33]. A secondary analysis of the Global...
Paleontology is the study of ancient life on Earth based on fossils. Fossils are the remains of plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other single-celled organisms that have been replaced bysedimentary rocksor impressions of organisms preserved in rock. It’s an interdisciplinary science involving ...
are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The production of EPS is a general property of microorganisms in natural environments and has been shown to occur both in prokaryotic (Bacteria, Archaea) and in eukaryotic (algae, fungi) microorganisms. Biofilms containing mixed ...
Mycorrhizal fungi are symbionts in roots of the majority of higher plants. These associations vary widely in structure and functions, but the most common interaction is the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) association. It is estimated that more than 80% of all terrestrial plants form this type of asso...
