Laccases have been widely explored for their ligninolytic capability in bioethanol production and bioremediation of industrial effluents. However, low reaction rates have posed a major challenge to commercialization of such processes. This study repo...

Arrested fungal biofilms as low-modulus structural bio-composites: Water holds the key (2019)
Journal Article
Aravinda Narayanan, R., & Ahmed, A. (2019). Arrested fungal biofilms as low-modulus structural bio-composites: Water holds the key. European Physical Journal E, 42, Article 134. https://doi.org/10.1140/epje/i2019-11899-2

Biofilms are self-assembling structures consisting of rigid microbial cells embedded in a soft biopolymeric extracellular matrix (ECM), and have been commonly viewed as being detrimental to health and equipment. In this work, we show that biofilms fo... Read More about Arrested fungal biofilms as low-modulus structural bio-composites: Water holds the key.
