A comprehensive study on secondary metabolite biodiversity of the largest organism on Earth was just published by @angew_chem, involving @MS_Fungi and BIOTEC. Congrats to all coauthors and many thanks for funding from @MSCActions

Looking forward to presenting some updates on how RNA and DNA viromics can be used to understand how we influence viral communities both around us, and within us 🏞️🚜💩

Interested in the effects of veteranisation on fungal communities? Check out our paper published in the @ArbAssociation journal.
We found communities in veteranised oak branches differed to natural dead branch communities @FungusProf @ECGilmartin

The "tree surgery" was finally on today 🤩 We started the last experimet of the @FutureOak_ project, testing the effect of microbial SynComs in oak saplings! Happy to have the best team all along @jamesemcdonald @Usman_Hussain_S @PyneEd @marine_cambon @cenococcum

I am very happy that the pre-print of our work is out, showing that chemical elicitors from a beetle larvae triggers proliferation and virulence of a plant bacterial pathogen. See the thread below and check out the paper to learn more: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

1/7 New preprint from the group, led by @marine_cambon. We show that chemical elicitors from Agrilus bigutattus beetle larvae trigger proliferation and virulence of a plant pathogen biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Marine Cambon and colleagues found that the composition of leaf fungal communities, but not bacterial communities, is related to #droughttolerance in #Neotropical trees.
🔓 Read this trending paper from our #phyllosphere focus issue: doi.org/10.1094/PBIOMES-04-2…
ALT Fig. 1 from the paper, showing a summary of the sampling design. In total, 88 trees growing in the Paracou Research Station in French Guiana were selected for the study. The trees belonged to 22 Neotropical species encompassing 6 orders represented in different colors in the phylogeny. From top to bottom: Magnoliales (green), Ericales (red), Sapindales (orange), Myrtales (yellow), Fabales (light blue), and Malpighiales (dark blue). For each tree, four leaves were collected and processed to characterize leaf microbiota composition. Ecophysiological traits indicative of tree drought tolerance were measured on a subset of 50 trees, encompassing 18 species.

I will be running 100k throughout September for Great Ormomd Street hospital No pressures or expectations but if you fancy chipping in a quid or two I'm sure the kids would appreciate it.

After a rather unexpected 6-week break, I came back to the lab today to find this beautifully overgrown isolate in one of the agar plates that remained on my bench. One isolate out of the thousands of our culture collection at @FutureOak_. Such a pretty growth pattern!! 😍🧫🦠🌳

We’ve had a really productive lab research workshop over the past 2 days, making great progress on several upcoming manuscripts from the group, including papers from the @FutureOak_ @synbiogas and #BacstopAOD projects

Very easy about the cell wall of conidia and hyphae on the example of #Aspergillus fumigatus.

There's a campaign to save our Sweet Chestnut Trees, which are at risk from pests and disease
Here's Royal Horticultural Society plant pathologist @Jassydrak on the risks to our trees and what we should be looking for to see if a tree is damaged

A new knot tying competition record has been set at the #ARBShow 🚨
For over 5 years no one has been able to beat Mat Graham’s incredible times but this year Jay Parker completed the challenge in an incredible 15.25 seconds!
A massive thank you to Mat who volunteered on the stand offering his expert advice to competitors.
Take a look at the moment the new record was set.
The knots were: Bowline, Prussik, Alpine butterfly, Blake's hitch & Figure of 8.
