MS/MS suggests they're related to the coprinoferrin family. The genome also confirms G. adspersum as a prolific producer of triterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, with implications for wood decay, tree health, and bioactive natural products. Open Access 👇 doi.org/10.1099/mic.... #Mycosky #Fungi

Siderophores and secondary metabolites produced by Ganoderma adspersum

First we sequenced its genome, a first for this species, and years in the making. Hidden in there: a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene sitting next to a monooxygenase, the classic signature of a hydroxamate siderophore. Then LC-ES-MS on the iron-starved cultures confirmed it. 2/3

We starved a fungus of iron to see what it would make. Ganoderma adspersum answered with a group of siderophores, iron-scavenging molecules, that nobody has ever described. 🍄🧬 Here's how we found them. 1/3

From May 18–20, scientists across Zürich will step out of their labs and into local venues to talk about AI, biodiversity, psychology, music therapy, environmental change, and more, all in a relaxed and accessible setting. #PintOfScience #Zurich #ScienceCommunication

What makes Pint of Science special is not just the research, but the conversations that happen around it. You can hear directly from the people behind the science, ask questions, and discover topics you might never normally encounter. #PintOfScience #Zurich #ScienceCommunication

Pint of Science starts next week in Zurich. If you’ve ever been curious about science but felt conferences and lectures were not for you, this event is exactly the opposite. #PintOfScience #Zurich #ScienceCommunication

Pint of Science is back with talks on AI, primate research, robotics, and more! Curious? Scan the QR code and come experience it for yourself 🍻🔬 #PintOfScience #ZurichEvents #ScienceForAll #Zurich

So happy to announce the publication of our Ganoderma adspersum study that revealed the presense of siderophores! #fungi #genome #research www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Smart sensor tag protects sensitive goods

Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart sensing tag that measures temperature and humidity in real time – and can also detect whether a temperature threshold has been exceeded. In future, this could be used to monitor sensitive shipments such as medicines or food. The sen...

Today, a United States Senator was arrested for asking a question of a federal official, in a federal building, as was his right. If it can happen to a sitting U.S. Senator, it can happen to anyone. Silence is complicity. We are at a crossroads. We must speak up. @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social‬

The new leadership of NIH is dismantling long standing biomedical science programs & putting in their place scientifically questionable ideas. A courageous group of current NIH employees pushed back, publishing “The Bethesda Declaration” 1/2 www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

The brutal arrest of a Senator asking a question at a press conference, the threat of Marines being unleashed on the public, and the attack on science are all symptoms of the same illness. When we are punished for asking questions and striving for better, we are no longer free. #Standupforscience

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Trump's response to immigration protests in Los Angeles will further escalate a situation his administration created.

Stay Strong Los Angeles!
