Topping off the first day, Prof Martin Grininger using rational proitein engineering to convert iterative FAS to PKS CytoLabsDFG annual retreat.

Biologically active drimane derivatives isolated from submerged cultures of the wood-inhabiting basidiomycete Dentipellis fragilis Check out Nico Mitschke, Marc Stadler et al.'s recent #RSCAdvPopular🔥 paper today ➡ doi.org/10.1039/D3RA04… #OpenAccess #Chemistry

@RussellCox_Chem CytoLabsDFG Thank you for the invitation, Russell, it was a pleasure to be there and learn more about Cytochalasins!

lnkd.in/exjtYi2D The gasteroid genus Guyanagaster was found to produce the same meroterpenoid #antibiotics family as the phylogenetically related Honey Mushrooms. Congrats to Dana, Sebastian & Frank to this nice paper- thanks to Cathie Aime for sending the strain!

Authorship on a scientific article not only conveys benefit, but it also requires responsibility. You can't only take credit, but not be answerable when repeated problems are found with articles upon which you are listed as an author #Schillaci

Our research unit "Exploiting the potential of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent enzyme chemistry" #FOR5596 led by @andexerlab will be funded by DFG public | @[email protected]. Looking forward to work with Stephan Hammer, @SeebeckLab, Lena Barra, @borras & X-less colleagues. dfg.de/en/service/pre…

It's UK Fungus Day tomorrow! This annual celebration of fungi is organised by the British Mycological Society and is an invitation for everyone in the UK to experience and appreciate the wonder of fungi. Check out our fungi blog for #UKFungusDay. nhbs.com/blog?article=u…

I have rarely read a worse abstract than this. It’s abject wankwaffle, and is a honking disservice to science, science communication and the study of evolution.

This is a paper that I could understand the first time… On the reception and detection of pseudo-profound bullshit | Judgment and Decision Making | Cambridge Core - bit.ly/438sfQI

Thanks to Humboldt-Stiftung, DAAD News and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Mycobiomics for financial support!

pubs.rsc.org/.../ArticleLan… A new paper is out in Chem Sci., derived form our DFG (#Taxon-Omics) funded collaboration with the Cox group and CeBiTec Bielefeld. This is about Total Biosynthesis of fungal terpenoids! Congrats to Yunlong Sun and all other co-authors!
