Fungal transporters

Yeasts contain a large number of different active and passive sugar-transport systems. The first of these to be cloned was the glucose-repressible, high-affinity passive glucose transporter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is encoded by the SNF3 gene

Ra in fruit bodies emanating from contaminated soils is well established (Haselwandter et al., 1988 Bakken Olsen, 1990 Kirchner Daillant, 1998) and represents a significant radiological and toxicological consequence of fungal transport in the soil. Translocation to basidiocarps may be particularly efficient due to mass flow within translocation streams. 

The absence of secondary mineral precipitation in fungal tunnels indicates that the weathering products are removed from the tunnel interior, either by diffusion or fungal transport. Removal by diffusion is likely because it is probably faster than feldspar weathering. If the tunnel is occupied by a fungus, the diffusion rate would be depressed, so that fungal transport could become important.

Mechanism of Action An antifungal that inhibits the transport of essential elements in the fungal cell, thereby interfering with biosynthesis infungi. TfterflpcuticE/fect Results in fungal cell death. 

The vendor estimated that the costs of a commercial Mycova application would be less than 50/yd of contaminated soil. This estimate included the costs of bulk fungal spawn on sawdust for inoculation, shade cloth covering, transportation, labor, and equipment for the application (D20841D, pp. 67, 68).
