Hydrophobins from <i>Aspergillus</i> mediate fungal interactions with microplastics
2024-11-05
Abstract excerpt
Microplastics present myriad ecological and human health risks including serving as a vector for pathogens in human and animal food chains. However, the specific mechanisms by which pathogenic fungi colonize these microplastics have yet to be explored. In this work, we examine the opportunistic fungal pathogen, Aspergillus fumigatus , and other common soil and marine Aspergilli , which we found bind microplastic...
