  1. 6. Production of textile fibres from filamentous fungi grown on apple pomace : invertase pre-treatment

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Sofia Berg; [2023]
    Keywords : apple pomace; invertase; fibres; filamentous fungi; dry gel spinning;

    Abstract : In this work Rhizopus Delemar was grown on an apple pomace medium, a waste product from the juice industry. The apple pomace was pre-treated with the enzyme invertase to hydrolyse the sucrose available in the waste to glucose and fructose, which are digestible by the fungus. READ MORE

  3. 7. Fungal Effects on Tree Growth in a Primary Succession

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : August Hedberg; Julian Säflund; [2023]
    Keywords : primary succession; succession; ectomycorrhiza; saprotroph; tree growth; Pinus sylvestris; soil fungi;

    Abstract : In the Boreal zone, ectomycorrhiza is the most common mycorrhiza found among trees and helps with nitrogen and nutrient uptake. Most research on mycorrhiza, its effect, and community development are done on secondary succession (succession in an ecosystem after a disturbance) such as after a clearcut. READ MORE

  4. 8. Biological control of verticillium stem striping disease on oilseed rape : fungi as friends and foes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : André Åbonde; [2023]
    Keywords : Biological control; Oilseed rape; Clonostachys rosea; Verticillium longisporum; Verticllium stem striping disease;

    Abstract : The cultivation of oilseed rape faces challenges caused by pests and pathogens, and soil-borne pathogens such as Plasmodiaphora brassicae (clubroot) are among the main causes of disease. Verticillium longisporum is another soil-borne pathogen, which causes the verticillium stem striping disease in Brassica plants, including oilseed rape. READ MORE
