Fungal adaptation in extreme temperatures
IndiaBioscience
by Jeenisha Dabreo Rumao
4d ago
Researchers from SASTRA University, have uncovered how some fungi can withstand high temperatures. The study published in Proteins discovered that certain proteins on the outside of fungi play a crucial role in making them heat-resistant. Understanding heat-resistant proteins can help us build proteins and enzymes for industrial use where temperatures are usually high. Fungi such as mushrooms, yeast and mould are most commonly found in moderate room-temperatures. However, some fungi can thrive in high-temperatures, and were discovered nearly a century ago. This study has paved the way to unde ..read more

The educational landscape has experienced a dramatic transformation in recent years, shifting from traditional, lecture-based methodologies towards more innovative, learner-centred approaches.
