Imbens, Rik (author), Klootwijk, Lucas (author)This thesis describes the design and implementation of a LED Driving and Sensing Unit, one of the parts of a UV-C LED sterilization machine for the disinfection of plant seeds. The purpose of this part is to drive LEDs which can destroy different structures of pathogens. While doing this, certain parameters like temperature and ozone generation...bachelor thesis 2023

Glazenburg, M.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)Cellular life exhibits order and complexity, which typically increase over the course of evolution. Cell polarization is a well-studied example of an ordering process that breaks the internal symmetry of a cell by establishing a preferential axis. Like many cellular processes, polarization is driven by self-organization, meaning that the...review 2023

Ablonczy, Mark (author)Filamentous fungi grow large networks of biomass with minimal energy input. This biomass consists of polysaccharide-based filamentous networks and adherent extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Recent reports show that this biomass can be formed into plastic-like thin film materials. Further, non-filamentous fungi have been applied as living...master thesis 2021

Barata-Antunes, Cláudia (author), Alves, Rosana (author), Talaia, Gabriel (author), Casal, Margarida (author), Gerós, Hernâni (author), Mans, R. (author), Paiva, Sandra (author)Plasma membrane transporters play pivotal roles in the import of nutrients, including sugars, amino acids, nucleobases, carboxylic acids, and metal ions, that surround fungal cells. The selective removal of these transporters by endocytosis is one of the most important regulatory mechanisms that ensures a rapid adaptation of cells to the...review 2021

(author)Neocallimastigomycetes are unique examples of strictly anaerobic eukaryotes. This study investigates how these anaerobic fungi bypass reactions involved in synthesis of pyridine nucleotide cofactors and coenzyme A that, in canonical fungal pathways, require molecular oxygen. Analysis of Neocallimastigomycetes proteomes identified a candidate...journal article 2021

Fang, W. (author), Zhang, X. (author), Zhang, Panyue (author), Carol Morera, Xavier (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Spanjers, H. (author)White rot fungi using P. sajor-caju and T. versicolor was examined to pretreat raw champost (lignin-rich) and oyster champost (cellulose-rich) for enhancement of fermentative volatile fatty acid (VFA) production. Results showed that the efficiency of pretreatment and VFA production was influenced by the fungal strains and substrates. P. sajor...journal article 2020

ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Ananyev, Gennady (author), Dismukes, Charles (author)Lichens are a symbiosis between a fungus and one or more photosynthetic microorganisms that enables the symbionts to thrive in places and conditions they could not compete independently. Exchanges of water and sugars between the symbionts are the established mechanisms that support lichen symbiosis. Herein, we present a new linkage between algal...journal article 2019

Fang, W. (author), Zhang, Panyue (author), Zhang, X. (author), Zhu, X. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Spanjers, H. (author)Anaerobic digestion has been widely applied throughout the world for lignocellulosic biomass treatment and energy recovery. However, the solid digestate from anaerobic digestion still contains a rather large fraction of poorly anaerobic degradable lignocellulosic fibers due to inhibition of lignin, which deeply limits the bioenergy production...journal article 2018

Zahmatkesh, M. (author)In order to address the ambiguities and knowledge gaps in the HA removal by WRF, mechanisms of removal were explored in chapter 2. It was shown that the mechanisms of HA removal by WRF involves the degradation of HA to smaller molecules, conversion to FA and also biosorption of HA by fungal mycelia. Furthermore, the ability of laccase to...doctoral thesis 2018

(author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author), Abeel, T.E.P.M.F. (author)Many fungi are polykaryotic, containing multiple nuclei per cell. In the case of heterokaryons, there are different nuclear types within a single cell. It is unknown what the different nuclear types contribute in terms of mRNA expression levels in fungal heterokaryons. Each cell of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus contains two to 25 nuclei of...journal article 2018

Diepeveen, E.T. (author), Iñigo de la Cruz, L.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)Polarity establishment underlies proper cell cycle completion across virtually all organisms. Much progress has been made in generating an understanding of the structural and functional components of this process, especially in model species. Here we focus on the evolutionary dynamics of the fungal polarization protein network in order to...review 2017

Zahmatkesh, M. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)In this study, we tested a new approach to facilitate the application of white rot fungi (WRF) under non-sterile conditions, by introducing grain sorghum as carrier and sole carbon and nutrient source for WRF. To this end, Trametes versicolor was immobilized on sorghum, and its ability to remove humic acid (HA) from synthetic and real...journal article 2017

In this regard, the mycoremediation potentials of four strains of white rot fungi (WRF): Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Trametes...journal article 2017
