Life through a lens – Buwchfawomyces eastonii

Click here to see a video clip of a Buwchfawomyces eastonii thallus attached to a particle of wheatstraw. The wheat straw particle can be seen to be colonised by the extensive rhizoid which has a mature sporangium (round bulbous structure) emerging from it. The sporangium will eventually full up with zoospores and release them to colonise fresh … Continue reading Life through a lens – Buwchfawomyces eastonii

1000 fungal genomes….

The '1000 Fungal Genomes Project' is a fabulous initiative to develop genomic resources for every family in the fungal kingdom - including of course anaerobic fungi :)To learn more about the project, and to see what anaerobic fungal projects/resources are currently listed, please check out the JGI project website: http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/programs/fungi/1000fungalgenomes.jsf
