One health consequences of circularity
What lessons to learn from the saprophytic and human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus? -
Antifungal resistance development in a human pathogenic fungus
Antifungal resistance development in a human pathogenic fungus - WUR Project Antifungal resistance development in a human pathogenic fungus Each year,... -
The ecology and evolution of fungal senescence
Podospora anserina is a coprophilous fungus that grows exclusively on herbivore dung. Thus, in nature the fungus has only a short period in which it... -
Rejuvenation
The filamentous fungus Podospora anserina is a modular organism. In nature the fungus has only short period in which can grow on herbivore dung and... -
Calorie Restriction and life span extension in P. anserina
For many organisms, including humans, calorie restriction is known to have a positive effect on life span. Currently a discussion is going on whether... -
The origin of senescence in Podospora species
Most fungi show indeterminate growth, and are ‘immortal’ but exceptions do exist. Podopora anserina is a coprophilous fungus that in... -
Free radical theory of ageing
Free radicals like the reactive oxygen species are thought to have a major influence on the ageing in many species. -
On the two mating types of P. anserina
The filamentous fungus Podospora anserina grows in nature on herbivore dung and has only short period in which can form mycelium and obligatory sexual... -
Experimental evolution of fungus Aspergillus nidulans
Most evolution experiments involve unicellular microbes growing in unstructured, well-mixed habitats. Last year, we (= Marijke Slakhorst) started a... -
