Abstract

Under appropriate conditions, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Penicillium chrysogenum were found to co-immobilize spontaneously with no need for external support or chemical binder. The main aims were to examine the interaction between yeast cells and fungal hyphae by electron microscopy and the death of the filamentous fungus because of direct contact between both microorganisms.
