Our work in fungal interspecies cell communication is finally out! 🥳. After #Fungal22, I will do a summarize thread of our findings. In the mean time, find below the link. For those attending to #Fungal22, you can watch the talk of André next Friday! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The unusual signaling mechanism of fusing fungal cells is highly conserved in ascomycete fungi and, unexpectedly, even mediates interspecies interactions. authors.elsevier.com/c/1g1gP_LjpbSK…

Happy to share our latest paper from laura walls for the sequential bioconversion of cellulose into jet biofuel using R. flavefaciens and engineered R. toruloides 🎉💪🏼 Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro Sharon Velasquez Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Newcastle LeoRiosLab #synbio #bioprocessing doi.org/10.1016/j.bior…

Bernard Slippers recently spent a week at the Fungal Genetics lab of Prof André Fleissner at the Technical University of Braunschweig. This visit was stimulated by a presentation at the IUFRO Division 7 Forest Health meeting in Lisbon last year.

Laura Brodde has nailed her thesis on how Diplodia tip blight affect Scots pine. She will defend her thesis on 2 June 2023 in Uppsala. Congratulations Laura Brodde!

After the drought on Gotland, large pine areas had severe crown thinning. Laura Brodde defends here thesis on diplodia tip blight!

This really is no joke. People act like toxic environments in research is the price we have to pay for genius to succeed. But have we considered that there might be more success in positive work environments where everyone feels properly supported? /1 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Stimulating, exciting and fun days in Braunschweig with wonderful hosts, Andre, Anne, Rasmus, Marc, Wolfgang, Julia, Yvonne. Sharing a passion for fungi, forests, molecular biology, chemistry. microscopy and science and life in general.

“All roads seem to lead to #Braunschweig”: A visit from Bernard Slippers, director of FABI, leads to a collaboration across institutions and continents, tackling the global issue of #forest health by researching #fungi and their effect on trees. 👉lnk.tu-bs.de/xafOPG

Interested in engineering biological systems? We are looking for interested students TU Braunschweig. More details about this opportunity will be shared by RonjaFr Benjamin Harder Melina S. Nowak et al tomorrow and in the next days #synbio #biotech Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics tu-braunschweig.de/en/ifp/pbb/igem

This summer we had the privilege of hosting Bernard Slippers at the Inst. of Genetics TU Braunschweig. Our time with him was not only intellectually stimulating but also incredibly fun! Excited about the long-term linkages we are building with FABI fabinet.up.ac.za/index.php/news…

Here is a summary of tools we use in our plant genomics projects Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics TU Braunschweig: doi.org/10.20944/prepr… Please comment if you favorite tool is missing!

Fungi are key for feeding a growing population. Most current food strains were domesticated by our ancestors over 1000+ yrs. What does the next wave of domestication look like? We develop a synbio toolkit to program sensory appeal/nutrition of fungal meat! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to see our paper online! We try to revisit Tolerance mechanisms of Botrytis to plant saponins and highlight the importance of membrane repair in plant-pathogen interaction. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Botrytis cinerea uses four distinct cellular mechanisms to tolerate saponins, including membrane repair. Thanks Dr. Van Kan for having me on board! H.M. Suraj @phytoWUR Wageningen U&R nature.com/articles/s4146…

Interested in boreal forest & resilience? There is 10 days left to apply for a fully funded PhD position in my research group. The project is a collaboration with life and focusses on stress tolerance in pine. slu.se/en/about-slu/w…

Our latest paper Nature Microbiology: converting waste into delicious food using fungi. We studied a traditional Indonesian food and discovered a mold domesticated for waste-to-food conversion. Amazing international collab involving scientists, chefs. tinyurl.com/36rzkr57
