Applied and Environmental Mycology group

Applied and Environmental Mycology group Our group aims at producing scientific knowledge which essentially highlights Ascomycota fungi biotech added-value. pathogenicity.

"It has been estimated that up to one quarter of the world’s soil biomass is of fungal origin. This comprises ~1.5 million species, with only 700 identified up to now (of which in turn 75 % belong to the Ascomycota phylum). Fungi are vital for the ecosystem functions, segregating a broad range of hydrolytic enzymes that can break down complex biopolymers and producing chemically and structurally d

iverse secondary metabolites. Fungal secondary metabolites are a virtually unlimited source of probes for fungal biology, including some signalling in cell-to-cell communication pathways which control e.g. Some fungal secondary metabolites are now clinically significant drugs."
