Noble metal nanoparticles deposit on the mycelium of growing fungi--an approach to new catalytic systems?
(PhysOrg.com) -- When fungi, such as penicillium, grow, they form a thread-like network, the mycelium. If the fungus is grown in a medium containing nanoscopic particles of a noble metal, the resulting mycelium is coated ...
