Fungal Species: Neonothopanus nambi

Lomasomes and Other Fungal Plasma Membrane Macroinvaginations Have a Tubular and Lamellar Genesis

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied mushroom cells to understand structures called lomasomes that form at the cell membrane surface. Using advanced microscopy techniques, they discovered these structures are made of tiny tubes and layers that can fold and swell into different shapes. These findings help explain how fungal cells that decompose wood organize their membranes and may be involved in how cells take in materials from their surroundings.

Expression of a multigene mushroom luciferin biosynthesis pathway as a pseudo-polycistron in plants

mycolabadmin

Researchers attempted to create glowing tomato plants by introducing genes from bioluminescent mushrooms that produce their own light substrate. While the genes worked when temporarily expressed in tobacco plants, stable transgenic tomatoes could not maintain luciferin production. The main challenge was that the light-producing molecule breaks down too quickly in plant tissue, making it difficult to maintain the glow effect.
