biochemical, and structural properties. Also check out or VIP Team MycoSolutions – Solving Problems with Fungi.
Brewing Science Read More »
Biological and chemical analyses for industrial beverage fermentation processes.
White-Nose Syndrome Read More »
Pseudogymnoascus destructans (previously Geomyces destructans) is a newly-discovered fungal pathogen responsible for white-nose syndrome in bats.
Since its discovery in North America in 2006, it has spread throughout the eastern
United States and Canada.
Emerging Fungal Pathogens Read More »
Research involving several fungal pathogens, including Ascosphera apis, a fungal pathogen that causes chalkbrood disease in honeybees and has been implicated
in causing colony collapse disorder, Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, a fungal pathogen responsible for a deadly dermatitis in snakes known as snake fungal
disease, among others.
