Connecting material science and fungal biology
Fungal biotechnology's potential to sustainably produce textiles as well as materials for construction, furniture and transportation industries has the potential to significantly contribute to the United Nation’s sustainable development goals. The aim of this collection is to provide fungal and material experts a forum for discussion on the multidisciplinary approaches important in the rapidly evolving field of fungal biomaterials, to highlight recent breakthroughs and to exchange ideas and visions.
Read MoreBeyond the assembly line - showcasing the complexities of fungal natural product biosynthesis
Metaphors have long been used by scientists to summarise or visualise complex biological processes. In this special collection, we aim to look past these metaphors, to capture the complexity of fungal natural product biosynthesis in all its splendour.
Technical notes
Fungal Biology and Biotechnology is now considering Technical notes. This article type should present a new experimental or computational method, test or procedure, showing a novel or improved approach, a well tested method, and ideally proven value.
