Volatile Organic Compounds in the Azteca/Cecropia Ant-Plant Symbiosis and the Role of Black Fungi
(MDPI, 2021-10-06)
Black fungi of the order Chaetothyriales are grown by many tropical plant-mutualistic ants as small so-called “patches” in their nests, which are located inside hollow structures provided by the host ...
Black Fungi and Hydrocarbons: An Environmental Survey for Alkylbenzene Assimilation
(MDPI, 2021-05-07)
Environmental pollution with alkylbenzene hydrocarbons such as toluene is a recurring phenomenon. Their toxicity and harmful effect on people and the environment drive the search for sustainable removal ...
LC‐IMPACT: A regionalized life cycle damage assessment method
(Wiley, 2020-05-31)
