A versatile microfluidic platform measures hyphal interactions between Fusarium graminearum and Clonostachys rosea in real-time.

Routinely, fungal-fungal interactions (FFI) are studied on agar surfaces. However, this format restricts high-resolution dynamic imaging. To gain experimental access to FFI at the hyphal level in real-time, we developed a microfluidic platform, a FFI device.

TaqMan qPCR for Quantification of Used as a Biological Control Agent Against .

is a biological control agent against in small grain cereals and maize. Infections with do not only reduce the yield but, due to the production of mycotoxins, also affect the entire value chain of food and feed. In addition, production of other secondary metabolites such as hydrophobins, also known as gushing inducers, may cause quality challenges for the malting and brewing industry.

'Flatten plus': a recent implementation in WSxM for biological research.

Unlabelled: Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is already a relevant tool in biological research at the nanoscale. We present 'Flatten plus', a recent and helpful implementation in the well-known WSxM free software package. 'Flatten plus' allows reducing low-frequency noise in SPM images in a semi-automated way preventing the appearance of typical artifacts associated with such filters.

Quasi-simultaneous imaging/pulling analysis of single polyprotein molecules by atomic force microscopy.

Most of studies in protein nanomechanics have used the atomic force microscope (AFM) in its force-measuring mode on immobilized protein repeats (polyproteins) as single-molecule markers. Here, we add imaging capabilities to a standard, state-of-the-art AFM "puller" and integrate the most powerful programs of analysis available for both AFM modes. This unique instrument allows high-resolution, quasi-simultaneous imaging/force spectroscopy in aqueous solution.
