Fruiting body-associated Pseudomonas contact triggers ROS-mediated perylenequinone biosynthesis in Shiraia mycelium culture

open access: yesBioresources and Bioprocessing
Perylenequinones (PQs) from Shiraia fruiting bodies serve as potent photosensitizers for anticancer and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT). Although these fruiting bodies harbor diverse endophytic bacteria, their interactions with the host fungus ...

Just how big is intraspecific trait variation in basidiomycete fungal fruit bodies? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
As the use of functional trait approaches is growing in fungal ecology, there is a corresponding need to understand trait variation. Much of trait theory and statistical techniques are built on the assumption that interspecific variation is larger than intraspecific variation.
