We observed that the filamentous fungus, Aspergillus oryzae, grown on agar media burst out
cytoplasmic constituents from the hyphal tip soon after flooding with water. Woronin body is …

Hyphae of filamentous A scomycota consist of compartments that are connected via septal
pores. To avoid a dramatic loss of cellular content after wounding, fungi developed …

It has long been regarded that the primary function of fungal peroxisomes is limited to the β-
oxidation of fatty acids, as mutants lacking peroxisomal function fail to grow in minimal …
