The work appears in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. “For the first time, we use the metabolism of two different types of fungi in a microbial fuel cell to power a low temperature ...

It is 3D printed to structure the electrodes in a specific way that gives the microorganisms easy access to the nutrients. Fungal cells are mixed into the printing ink - no mean feat for the cross ...

The fungi are not "planted" into the battery but are an integral part of the cell from the outset. The components of the fungal battery are manufactured using 3D printing. This allows the researchers ...

This allows the researchers to structure the electrodes in such a way that the microorganisms can access the nutrients as easily as possible. To do this, the fungal cells are mixed into the ...

Scientists had previously tried transferring plant chloroplasts into fungi cells, but the cells’ cleanup ... The transplanted chloroplasts maintained their structure and showed successful ...

the team needed to determine the minimum number of viable fungal cells required to cause visible damage. "There is a significant gap in understanding the impact of overseas container shipping ...

The fungal cell wall is a complex exoskeleton that protects the cell from osmotic pressure changes and other environmental stresses, yet allows the cell to interact with its environment. Importantly, ...

The cell wall is one of the defining features of plants, controlling cell shape, regulating growth dynamics and hydraulic conductivity, as well as mediating plants interactions with both the external ...
