    Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing of Fungal-Based Composite Materials Using the Tinder Fungus Fomes Fomentarius
    (BioMed Central Ltd, 2021) Chen,H.; Abdullayev,A.; Bekheet,M.F.; Schmidt,B.; Regler,I.; Pohl,C.; Simon,U.
    Background: Recent efforts in fungal biotechnology aim to develop new concepts and technologies that convert renewable plant biomass into innovative biomaterials. Hereby, plant substrates become metabolized by filamentous fungi to transform them into new fungal-based materials. Current research is thus focused on both understanding and optimizing the biology and genetics underlying filamentous fungal growth and on the development of new technologies to produce customized fungal-based materials. Results: This manuscript reports the production of stable pastes, composed of Fomes fomentarius mycelium, alginate and water with 71 wt.% mycelium in the solid content, for additive manufacturing of fungal-based composite materials. After printing complex shapes, such as hollow stars with up to 39 mm in height, a combination of freeze-drying and calcium-crosslinking processes allowed the printed shapes to remain stable even in the presence of water. The printed objects show low bulk densities of 0.12 ± 0.01 g/cm3 with interconnected macropores. Conclusions: This work reports for the first time the application of mycelium obtained from the tinder fungus F. fomentarius for an extrusion-based additive manufacturing approach to fabricate customized light-weight 3D objects. The process holds great promise for developing light-weight, stable, and porous fungal-based materials that could replace expanded polystyrene produced from fossil resources. © 2021, The Author(s).

    A Biomathematical Model for Phoma Tracheiphila Citrus Resistance Screening
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2012) Khanchouch, Khaled; Hajlaoui, Mohamed Rabeh; Kutucu, Hakan
    The causal agent of Mal Secco, Phoma tracheiphila, is responsible for many important losses in the Citrus crop worldwide. The resistance enhancement of Citrus susceptible to the pathogen infection depends on the availability of a valid test for disease assessment. However, the resistance analysis tests used give controversial results. In this paper, we propose a new mathematical model to conduct a rapid and efficient resistance screening test. This model has the advantage to give a strict evaluation of the resistance and not a relative estimation as in the usual tests. The results obtained by this model are in concordance with those observed in the orchards.
