The abstract book is posted for Fungal Genetics 2009 with a whopping 319 pages to read on your flight/drive/bike ride to the Asilomar conference center in Pacific Grove, CA this week. See [...] The Mucormycotina (formerly Zygomycota) fungus Mucor circinelloides Genome Portal is now publicly available at http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Mucci1/Mucci1.home.html. If you are planning to attend the Fungal Conference in Asilomar, there will be a JGI Workshop on March 19, 2009 at noon in Chapel to show how to use the manual [...]
An avid reader pointed out that I was not entirely thorough in describing that we don’t enough about the V8 agar media that is used to induce mating in Cryptococcus. In fact a great deal of work on mating in this fungus had focused on identifying what pathways are induced by V8 agar that induce [...] The scientific program is up on the FGSC website. Plan out your dash between sessions, or where you will get that coffee break meeting. This will be the largest attended fungal genetics meeting yet so will be fun to see so many people enthusiastic about the field. Look forward to seeing some of the blog [...] The deadline for application to the Medical Mycology course held in the summer at Woods Hole is April 1st. This is a great hands-on course for practical laboratory techniques with medically relevant fungi. I am including an email from the course directors below. [...] So this is actually old-ish news, but I saw this press release about paper published last year describing the ability of the fungus Gliocladium roseum to naturally synthesizes diesel compounds. The paper from Gary Strobel @Montana State and collaborators describes that G. roseum produces volatile hydrocarbon on cellulose media. Extracts from the host plant (Eucryphia cordifolia) [...]
