fungus

An analysis of fungi collected from peat bogs has identified several species that produce substances toxic to the bacterium that causes the human disease tuberculosis.

They did not die more frequently as temperatures rose -- unless the temperature rose towards fungi's ideal range, known as the "thermal optimum."

In nature, plant roots are always colonized by fungi.

A fungus discovered in the mouse stomach may hold a key to fungal evolution within the gastrointestinal tract, according to new research led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

The hospital’s microbiology lab identified three possible culprits: two bacteria and a fungus, a mucormycete mold.
