In a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports, UFZ researchers have been able to demonstrate that these so - called fungal hyphae also form a hot spot for gene transfer between bacteria.

They discovered that yeast cells were ruptured and even died due to the damage inflicted by cloves, but even better news was that they discovered that cloves almost entirely prevented the production of hyphae by candida albicans.

The fungi send out long microscopic threads called hyphae that create a subterranean network enabling plants to exchange nutrients.

It consists of very tightly interwoven hyphae and may contain millions of asci, each of which contains typically eight ascospores.

Wick continues: «Our study shows that fungal hyphae not only provide soil bacteria with an excellent infrastructure, but also a potential hot spot for bacterial horizontal gene transfer.

The fungal network (mycelium) also provides bacteria with an excellent infrastructure: there may be hundreds of metres of fungal hyphae winding through just one gram of soil.

The fungus primarily grows along tree roots via hyphae, fine filaments that mat together and excrete digestive enzymes.

Seed fill in seeds stored in the sediment seed bank at CLG declined from 100 % (prior to burial) rapidly to c. 20 % after 6 months (Fig. 4), with high levels of fungal attack (abundant hyphae were observed) resulting in many seeds rotting during burial.

The metabolically active hyphae have secreted droplets on their surfaces.

Microscope image of T. reesei hyphae with vesicle membranes stained red and cell wall chitin in blue.

They don't demand much: the mucous layer surrounding fungal hyphae is all they need to be able to move around — and they take advantage of it.

An Armillaria individual consists of a network of hyphae, he explains.

When colonising a plant, the beneficial fungus blooms within individual plant cells, growing thin tendrils called hyphae that extend into surrounding soil and pump minerals and nutrients straight into the heart of plant cells.

Organic matter does this either by «gluing» soil particles together or creating favorable living conditions for soil microorganisms, which in turn can «glue» soil particles together through production of various organic compounds such as glomalin or by the action of fungal hyphae (Sylvia et al., 2005).

The fungi live in plant roots where they elongate their tendrils (called hypha) into the surrounding soil, like an extension of the root system, to better access and transfer nutrients to the plant.

The researchers found that the long branching fungal filaments (or hyphae) became biomineralized and / or enveloped by minerals in various formations.

After the ant death, the fungus began growing hyphae inside the insect's body; in a few days, the hyphae would emerge from the exoskeleton — «always... from a specific point at the back of the head,» write the authors of the study, which was led by Sandra Andersen of the Center for Social Evolution at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

Also spore formation requires large amounts of these compounds probably because the spores need to store lots of lipids to support new germination and growth of fungal filaments (hyphae) that first need to reach a new root before they have access to plant lipids again.

Scientists aren't sure why Pd lights up under UV light, but they think that once Pd filaments, called hyphae, penetrate the bat's skin, those hyphae secrete substances that eat away at the living tissue and also happen to fluoresce under UV light.

Specialized threads (hyphae, pink), called conidiophores, end in bunches of spores (conidia, yellow), the fungal reproductive units.

By extension, it designates the entire fungus producing the fruiting body of such appearance, the former consisting of a network (called the mycelium) of filaments or hyphae.

Using their hyphae, thread - like growth filaments, the fungi then mount a biochemical attack on the wood cell components.

Transconjugant bacteria are formed by direct contact and horizontal gene transfer of differing bacteria (in red and black) invading the hyphae from the right and the left side, respectively.

«In the fine liquid film surrounding the hyphae, bacteria can move with much greater speed and direction and cover more distance than in soil water without hyphae,» says Tom Berthold, first author of the study and a doctoral researcher at the UFZ Department of Environmental Microbiology.

Using computer models that calculate the frequency of gene transfer between bacteria on the hyphae, the researchers came to the same result.

«For bacteria, fungal hyphae are like a motorway which gives them fast, direct access to their food sources.»

In their research, the UFZ scientists were also able to show that much greater gene transfer takes place between bacteria on the fungal highway than in a moist environment without fungal hyphae.

Plants colonised by friendly fungi get between 70 to 100 % of their phosphate directly from these hyphae, for example.

Microscopic image showing the spores and hyphae of «friendly» arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus interacting with a plant root.

The fungus uses its hyphae to penetrate the plant's root system, where the plant supplies it with carbohydrates.

Figure 1: Hyphae of a wood - decaying fungus found growing on the underside of a fallen log.

Sections of skin from muzzles of four humanely euthanized little brown bats collected from the Williams Hotel Mine on March 27, 2008, showed epidermal colonization with focal dermatitis including a few neutrophils in the underlying dermis and fungal hyphae and spores intermixed with bacteria near the surface (Fig. 1Bi, ii).

In addition to extending the root system, fungal hyphae are often much smaller in diameter than roots, which allows them to access nutrients and water in smaller soil pores.

Nutrients are often quickly depleted in areas directly around plant roots and the fungal hyphae are able to grow out beyond low nutrient zones into places where more nutrients are available.

It is these hyphae that are know to penetrate the walls of the small intestine and are known to contribute to an increase in intestinal permeability (leaky gut syndrome).

(Hyphae are branching filaments that extend out from the cells of candida albicans and other fungi and can penetrate tissues in the body).

Responsible for intestinal permeability, the hyphae form allows Candida to penetrate into the mucosal lining.

When fungi grow, they shoot out hyphae, thin filament - like roots that dig into the intestinal walls.

When challenged, chains of elongated cells called pseudohyphae develop, and finally strongly invasive long, narrow and tube - like filaments called hyphae.

Pseudohyphae and hyphae can be seen in the blood of individuals with cancer and autoimmune diseases.
