Out today at Science Magazine - giant PKZILLA proteins spew huge polyketide marine toxins, just like #Godzilla! Witnessed by Tim Fallon, PhD @[email protected] & Vikram Shende at Scripps Institution of Oceanography science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I am very proud of a first year PhD student in my lab, Xianghu Wang, for his paper on how to improve molecular networking with graph topology algorithms just published in J. of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry! The whole process was both helpful for improving the manuscript and smooth.

Extremely well deserved and I’m very privileged to work so close to this Titan of mycology!

New exciting preprint by Caja Dinesen from the lab demonstrating how surfactin reduces subtilosin A production in Bacillus subtilis Just look at this gorgeous MALDI-MSI on two colonies, and how surfactin diffuses and represses subtilosin A in srfAC colony biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Do you want to work with us DTU Biosustain and CeMiSt DTU? I have a postdoc vacancy in my group in collab. with Ling Ding on chemical ecology of natural products on some of our CeMiSt sampling sites. More information and link to application: efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Need some community help! We’re in the initial stages of an application for the next MSMM conference and want to change its structure away from the norm. So, if you’ve been to any conference you thought was different, unique, non-standard and worked, leave more info here!!

Two PhD and a postdoc position are available! Come join me if you are excited about natural product discovery and understanding the roles of secondary metabolites in ecological interactions! 🦠🧪 ➡️ PhD: jobs.hki-jena.de/jobs/Doctoral-… ➡️ Postdoc: jobs.hki-jena.de/jobs/Postdocto…

After 11 reviewers declined/ignored invitations, I have run out of ideas. Anyone out there interested and with the expertise in Ganoderma and/or fungal pangenomics? Please reach out to me.

We are thrilled to release over 1,000 more genomes on the NPDC Genome Portal (npdc.rc.ufl.edu)!
