"You Are What You Eat": How Fungal Adaptation Can Be Leveraged toward Myco-Material Properties
Tiffany Abitbol, Wenjing Sun, Alicia Vivas Hernando
Fungi adapt to their surroundings, modifying their behaviors and composition under different conditions like nutrient availability and environmental stress. This perspective examines how a basic understanding of fungal genetics and the different ways that ...
Weinheim2023Symbiotic nutrient cycling enables the long-term survival of Aiptasia in the absence of heterotrophic food sources
Phototrophic Cnidaria are mixotrophic organisms that can complement their het- erotrophic diet with nutrients assimilated by their algal endosymbionts. Metabolic mod- els suggest that the translocation of photosynthates and their derivatives from the algae ...
2023Nutrient Availability Does Not Affect Community Assembly in Root-Associated Fungi but Determines Fungal Effects on Plant Growth
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Bing Bai
Nonmycorrhizal root-colonizing fungi are key determinants of plant growth, driving processes ranging from pathogenesis to stress alleviation. Evidence suggests that they might also facilitate host access to soil nutrients in a mycorrhiza-like manner, but t ...
2022Presence of algal symbionts affects denitrifying bacterial communities in the sea anemone Aiptasia coral model
Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz
The coral-algal symbiosis is maintained by a constant and limited nitrogen availability in the holobiont. Denitrifiers, i.e., prokaryotes reducing nitrate/nitrite to dinitrogen, could contribute to maintaining the nitrogen limitation in the coral holobiont ...
2022A systematic CRISPR approach to understanding the role of Drosophila antimicrobial peptides in immunity in vivo
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are host-encoded antibiotics that combat invading microbes. These short immune effectors are conserved in plants, animals, and fungi. Early work showed that AMPs killed bacteria in generalist fashions in vitro: i.e. AMPs that ...
EPFL2022Fungal Contaminants in Energy Efficient Dwellings: Impact of Ventilation Type and Level of Urbanization
The presence of growing fungi in the indoor environment has been associated with the development of respiratory problems such as asthma or allergic rhinitis, as well as the worsening of respiratory pathologies. Their proliferation indoors could be a result ...
2020A new approach to Cas9-based genome editing in Aspergillus niger that is precise, efficient and selectable
Aspergillus niger and other filamentous fungi are widely used in industry, but efficient genetic engineering of these hosts remains nascent. For example, while molecular genetic tools have been developed, including CRISPR/Cas9, facile genome engineering of ...
2019Aquatic Fungi: A Disregarded Trophic Level in Ecological Risk Assessment of Organic Fungicides
Freshwater fungi are a diverse group of organisms and fulfill important functions in the food web dynamics of surface water ecosystems. Ascomycetic and basidiomycetic hyphomycetes play key roles in leaf litter breakdown in rivers and creeks, while parasiti ...
