  1. 🍂🌱 An international research team led by Cologne-based plant scientist Professor Dr Bart Thomma has discovered the surprising evolutionary origin of fungal effector proteins: molecules that pathogens use today to infect their hosts appear to have evolved from ancient antimicrobial proteins.

  2. Powerful new #antibiotic that can kill #superbugs discovered in #soil #bacteria
    Surprise discovery could pave the way for new treatments against #drugresistant #infections.
    They discovered an intermediate compound — called premethylenomycin C lactone — whose #antimicrobial activity was 100 times stronger than that of the final product. Tiny doses killed strains of bacteria known to cause hard-to-treat infections.

  4. #CauliflowerMushroom - #SparassisCrispa.
    One of my fave #edible & #medicinal #WildMushrooms. It's found in many places around the world, including forests on #VancouverIsland.
    We #forage for these wild #mushrooms & use it in making some soups & stir fry dishes.

    It's used often in #traditional #Chinese #medicine #TCM because it contains active #pharmacological ingredients. In order to study its medicinal value better, the genomic sequence of S. crispa was published in Oct 2018.
    ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

    Dry weight of the #basidiocarp was found to contain up to 43.6% #BetaGlucan, which was approved for the treatment of #cancer in #Japan & recommended for #COVID19 patients to overcome #inflammation.

    Experiments suggest that S. crispa contains chemicals that may stimulate the #ImmuneSystem & has many #biological properties including: #AntiTumor, #antiviral activity (reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity), #neuroprotection, #cardioprotection, #AntiInflammation, #hyperlipidemia, #AntiDiabetic medication, #antimicrobial compounds, & methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus #MRSA.

  5. #Harmonine is a defense compound produced by the #Asian #ladybeetle #Harmoniaaxyridis
    It is an important factor in beetle #immunity and has #BroadSpectrum #antimicrobial #activity #inhibiting the growth of #mycobacteria and demonstrating #multistage #antimalarial activity
    The Asian lady beetle uses harmonine as a general hygiene measure, but switches to an effective defense strategy based on dozens of peptides when threatened

    Unique #antimicrobial activity in honey from the Australian honeypot ant (Camponotus inflatus) peerj.com/articles/15645/

    "#Honey produced by the Australian honeypot ant is valued nutritionally and medicinally by #Indigenous peoples. In a new study, #scientists found the honey to have strong activity against #Staphylococcus aureus and against two species of #fungi: #Cryptococcus and #Aspergillus."

  8. #introduction😀

    I study #immune #evolution, including host - #pathogen interactions. My work has focused on #antimicrobial #defense #peptides which are like #antibiotics coded by the #genome . A key focus is #immunity-#microbiome interactions 🦠

    New PP: doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.23.521

    I also talk ethical publishing and advancing the conversation on #preprint, #openscience, and #academicchatter.
