🚀🍄 Space missions require meticulous planning, even for the tiniest passengers - microbes! From risks to resources, understanding fungi in space is key to our spacefaring future. Great talk, Marta Filipa Simões ! A very interesting and underexplored topic! #Astromycology #FungiInSpace

Structural adaptation of cell wall to salt in a halophilic fungus - just published in Nature Communications! #extremophiles #extremefungi #halophiles doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Jorge Ramirez Prado Also always shouting out my favorite fungus that is found and thrives nearly EVERYWHERE Aureobasidium pullulans pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38172103/ - one Extreme microbiology group has been studying extensively.

Happy to report a new article on experimental evolution of halotolerant fungi at limiting water activity. Their glycerol management changes significantly! IUBMB Life. doi.org/10.1002/iub.28… #Aureobasidium #funextremophiles #extremefungi #extremophiles

How to find #fungi that can degrade #plastics and maybe help with #plasticpollution? We just published a method for that. doi.org/10.1016/j.heli… Funded by @ARRS_rfo #J4_2549 #ic_mycosmo #culturecollection_ex

The screening of 1434 yeast strains for the conversion of SCFAs to microbial oils has just been published: doi.org/10.1038/s41598… Jožef Stefan Institute UL, Biotehniška fakulteta IMDEA Energia #OLEOFERM ERA CoBioTech #Biotechnology #ERAnet #ic_mycosmo #culturecollection_ex
