Snow-covered landscapes suggest an image of dormancy and hibernation. However, underneath the snow cover soil is teeming with microbial activity. The project “MICINSNOW - Microbial Interactions in Snow Covered Habitats” investigates winter-active soil microbial communities (MCs) and their interactions.
OPATHY (from Omics of PATHogenics Yeasts) is an innovative translational research training network that will explore the potential of next-generation high-throughput technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, to study the interactions of yeasts that cause disease to humans (e.g. Candida and Cryptococcus sp.) with their host, and to develop new diagnostic tools to monitor yeast infections in the clinic.
Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses to (i) characterize novel substrates and (ii) to investigate the contribution of HDACs and PRMTs to the regulation of secondary metabolism as well as of stress response genes.
Antifungal proteins from Ascomycetes contain a structurally conserved motif that resembles the Greek letter “gamma”: the gamma-core.
Secondary Metabolism in the Mycoparasite Trichoderma atroviride: Genes, Pathways and Regulation
This project explores TOR kinase signaling and its role during the mycoparasitic Trichoderma atroviride –prey fungus interaction.
A D.A.CH project funded by the FWF, DFG and SNF
