Biofuels: natural thanks to the synergy of bacteria and fungi
In an era where the energy transition has become a global priority, the most elegant and sustainable answer may lie not in high-tech laboratories, but in biofuels naturally present in the undergrowth and soil we so love to explore. This article aims to unravel, with our trademark scientific rigor and passion, the complex and fascinating world of biofuel production through the synergy between the fungi and bacteria kingdoms. We will go beyond the surface, exploring enzymatic processes, microbial symbioses, and the potential of truly renewable energy, offering a unique perspective for mycologists, mushroom growers, and collectors.
Oil and fungi: cleanup after spills
Oil and fungi: cleanup after spills
When we think of the environmental disasters caused by oil spills, the images that often come to mind are beaches covered in black slicks, seabirds covered in tar, and workers working with mechanical equipment. What we rarely imagine is a silent army of fungal mycelia working tirelessly beneath the surface to clean up the environment.
