Trichoderma in private

Today, a cryo-SEM session for the collection of the putative new species of Trichoderma from China has been completed.

It can be the first step of the pustula formation by a Trichoderma culture cultivated on the low nutrition agar, 72 hours, 25 C in darkness. However, it needs to be learned further. Image credit: Kai Dou, Siqi Jiang, and Irina S. Druzhinina.

FungiG is a research group established by Irina S. Druzhinina and Feng Cai in China. The group inherits traditions on Irina's MiBi Microbiology and Applied Genomics Group that she run in the TU Wien, Vienna, Austria. We focus on ecological genomics, diversity, and evolution of hypocrealean fungi, in particular Trichoderma. In China, we re-establish the research on DNA Barcoding, taxonomy, and identification of fungi, and continue working on surface-active proteins such as hydrophobins and cerato-platanins.
