Study on the surface properties that is recognized by fungi using surface scientific method

为了分析表面功能基团对真菌生长发育的影响，在具有不同功能基团的分子修饰表面上培养了模式植物病原菌稻瘟病菌和几种被称为居住环境污染物的真菌。金、不锈钢、玻璃和硅被用作基底。采用“自组装”方法对纳米粒子进行表面改性。我们发现一些表面功能基团参与了M. - 是的此外，真菌粘附抑制特定的功能基团。这一结果导致了新的抗菌改性技术的发展，可适用于各种材料。

In order to analyze the effect of surface functional groups on fungal development, the model plant pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae and several fungi known as contaminants of residential environment were cultivated on the molecular modified surfaces with various functional groups. Gold, stainless steel, glass, and silicon were used as substrate. The ‘self-assembly’ method was used for the surface modification. We discovered that some surface functional groups are involved in the regulation of infectious structure development in M. oryzae. Moreover, fungal adherence was suppressed by specific functional group. This result leads to the development of novel antimicrobial modification technique which can apply to various materials.
