Controlled Transfer of Endohyphal Symbionts among Fungal Strains
University of Arizona researchers discovered that diverse endophytic fungi were found to harbor endohyphal bacteria (EHB), which live within apparently healthy, viable fungal cells. Differences in suites of EHB between closely related fungal endophytes suggest horizontal transfer of these symbionts in nature. This relationship appears facultative for...

Identification of Endohyphal Bacterial Symbionts as Major Determinants of Cellulase and Ligninase Activity in Fungi
This technology discloses a method whereby EHB were shown to markedly influence cellulose and ligninase activity in fungi. It can be applied in industries relevant to biofuel development from plant material, remediation, and other industrial processes. Background: Plant-associated fungi play important ecological roles as pathogens, mycorrhizae, endophytes,...
