Genome sequencing and analysis of the versatile cell factory Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88 (2007, background): “niger has the largest set (21) of (GH28) enzymes, including seven candidate endopolygalacturonases (Supplementary Table 17).”
Fabrication factors influencing mechanical, moisture- and water-related properties of mycelium-based composites (2019, background): “This is explained by the fact that the encoded protein coats aerial hyphae with a hydrophobic coating [15].”
Characterization of glomalin as a hyphal wall component of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2005, background): “These direct effects are at present speculative, but it is possible that glomalin has a role similar to hydrophobins, relatively small proteins apparently ubiquitous among filamentous fungi (Wösten, 2001).”
A connection between fungal hydrophobins and soil water repellency (2005, background): “The hydrophobin link to soil water repellency Hydrophobins are a relatively recently (Wessels et al., 1991) discovered class of small (about 100 amino acids), seemingly ubiquitous proteins found in filamentous fungi (Wessels, 1997; Wösten, 2001; Linder et al., 2005).”
Interactions between soil structure and fungi (2004, positive): “A specific sub-class of such compounds are termed hydrophobins, which carry out a range of functional roles by mediating the hydrophobicity (water repellency) of hyphae, including aspects of morphogenesis, attachment to surfaces, and can act as elicitors in biotic interactions (Wosten, 2001).”
The interplay between microbial communities and soil properties (2023, positive): “As fungi are often considered less sensitive to drought than bacteria 115–117 , the fungal production of hydrophobic compounds that reduce water infiltration in soil may provide them with fitness advantages over bacteria 118 .”
Hydrophobins: the protein-amphiphiles of filamentous fungi. (2005, background): “The properties and biological roles of hydrophobins have been discussed in several recent review articles [4–14].”
The ice nucleation ability of one of the most abundant types of fungal spores found in the atmosphere (2010, neutral): “The rodlet layer is largely composed of proteins called hydrophobins, which occur uniquely in mycelial fungi and have been identified in fungi from the phyla Basidiomycota and Ascomycota (Linder et al., 2005; Linder, 2009; Wessels, 1997; Whiteford and Spanu, 2002; Wösten, 2001).”
Physico-Mechanical and Thermodynamic Properties of Mycelium-Based Biocomposites: A Review (2019, background): “Found in the fungal organism, hydrophobins are involved in several functions related to cell wall morphogenesis, hydrophobicity and substrate adhesion, both in aqueous and aerial environments [78,79].”
