The molecular pathways involved in antiviral defenses and counter-defenses in host-pathogen systems remain unclear. Researchers have used Neurospora crassa as a model organism to explore how RNA ...

One of these, Neurospora crassa fusarivirus 1 (NcFV1), is typically asymptomatic in wild-type N. crassa, but causes different symptom profiles in RNAi-deficient mutants, highlighting the complex ...

In Neurospora crassa, RNA editing of zao-1/2 genes regulates transcriptional reprogramming, with the balance between full-length and short ZAO proteins determining symptom expression.

The team experimented with letting the fungus, called Neurospora crassa, biomineralize on its own but found that killing it and then adding the microbes helped achieve a stiffer material in less time.

The researchers grew mycelium from the fungus Neurospora crassa, commonly known as red bread mold, into a dense, scaffold-like structure. Then, they added Sporosarcina pasteurii bacteria.

The fungus Neurospora crassa formed the scaffold of a living construction material WIM VAN EGMOND/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Fungi and bacteria could one day be part of a living building material that ...

It cites a profile by Canary Media from June 2024, which explained Meati’s process as putting “a teaspoon of Neurospora crassa spores into a brewery-like tank and adds sugar for the fungi to eat”, to ...

California’s The Better Meat Co. (BMC) announces it has received approval from the Singapore Food Authority to sell its flagship, single-ingredient Rhiza mycoprotein in the country.. The approval ...

The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a model organism for the genetic dissection of blue light photoreception and circadian rhythms. WHITE COLLAR‐1 (WC‐1) and WC‐2 are considered necessary f ...

Alt meat startup Meati Foods has been hit with a putative class action lawsuit alleging it falsely advertises its cutlets and steaks as ‘made from mushroom root’ when they are in fact made from a ...

Molecular timekeeping in Neurospora crassa is robust even under severe limitation of carbon sources and the efficient adaptation to changing nutrient availability is dependent on the positive ...
