Growth Phase-Dependent Changes in the Carbohydrate Metabolism of Penicillium Strains from Diverse Temperature Classes in Response to Cold Stress

mycolabadmin

This study examined how different fungal strains from cold and warm environments respond to sudden temperature drops. Researchers tracked enzyme activity related to energy production and found that fungi adapted to cold environments handle stress better than warmth-loving fungi. The type of enzyme activity and how old the fungal cells were both affected the response to cold, providing insights that could help predict how disease-causing fungi behave in cold conditions.
