This study identifies antimicrobial activity as the conserved core function of fungal cerato-platanins, showing how these proteins evolved from ancient antimicrobials to manipulate host interactions.
Jinyi Zhu, Fantin Mesny, S Chen…·Bart P. H. J. Thomma
The paper shows bacteria suppress fungal antimicrobial gene expression in soil microbiota, reducing fungal colonization and revealing community-level microbial competition.
Fantin Mesny, Valentina Wolf, Ana López‐Moral…·Bart P. H. J. Thomma
The paper identifies antimicrobial effectors in plant-associated fungi, suggesting they evolved from ancient antimicrobials to manipulate host microbiota and immunity.
Ram-Sevak Raja-Kumar, Fantin Mesny, Arpan Kumar Basak…·Stéphane Hacquard
The paper identifies a fungal gene encoding a β-1,3-glucanase as a key genetic factor driving multi-host infection in Plectosphaerella cucumerina.
Fernando Meyer, Adrian Fritz, Zhi-Luo Deng…·Till Strowig
The paper evaluates metagenomic software tools using realistic datasets, highlighting improvements in assembly and taxon profiling while identifying remaining challenges in virus/archaea detection and reproducibility.
