In addition to summarizing the field, we included some novel analyses that give insight into the untapped biosynthetic potential within the fumigatus species complex (hint, it's a lot). There's still much work we must do as a community!

[TheKellerLab @TheKellerLab]

Our latest review summarizing every characterized BGC and their elucidated products in Aspergillus fumigatus has now been published! Open access. We hope this is a helpful resource to the fumigatus community 😁

This is a back-to-back publication with @BayramLAB which shows similar findings on the conservation of the KERS chromatin regulatory complex in Aspergillus flavus

We are excited to share our latest paper led by @dianiluciano on the role of the histone demethylase KdmB in Penicillium expansum. Here, we show that KdmB mediates virulence and secondary metabolite production in the apple host.

Curious if your fungus of interest contains any ICS BGCs? You can find out for yourself! We've created a website to host all ICS BGC predictions made in the study. Check it out at: https://t.co/QRg2qZnfrg. 🌐🔍

#Invasive plants and animals get all the limelight. But a deadly #mushroom is spreading east after being introduced to the US west coast. Our work opens the opportunity to explore why.

We are proud to present our newest paper, “LaeA-regulated fungal traits mediate bacterial community assembly” 🧀🍄. This work was in collaboration with @ORNL, @LupoLabs, and @MTDrott. Available now at: https://t.co/AR73uqCELH

[TheKellerLab @TheKellerLab]

In our latest study, we shed light on a fascinating group of specialized metabolites secreted by Penicillium species. These compounds play a crucial role in regulating the development of cheese rinds 🧀 by selectively inhibiting specific bacterial community members 🦠.
