 Beautiful city of Innsbruck in Austria at the European Conference of Fungal Genetics. I'm so excited because we are due to interview some poster presenters to hear more about their research. Follow me. What is your name and where do you come from? Hi, I'm Bhagya. I come from the University of Montreal from Gettert-Burgers Lab. Can you tell me the title of your poster? It's a cranberry plant growth promotion by a fungal endosymbionic. And the critical question, can you summarize why is this research important? Canada is the second largest producer of cranberry, but we don't know how these endosymbionics can affect the cranberry plant growth and health. So by understanding the molecular mechanism, we can perform sustainable agriculture by understanding the molecular mechanism behind plant growth promotion and biocontrollability. What is your name and where do you come from? I'm from Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. Can you tell me the title of your poster? Of course, it's the interconnection of the adaptive response to asals and echinocondins. And in one sentence, can you summarize why is this research important? The purpose of this kind of research is in general to provide options how to fight resistance in fungal pathogens or how to have options, how to avoid the evolution of resistance to antifungal drugs. So patients eventually can get suffering with mycosis, can get an effective treatment. What is your name and where do you come from? So my name is Lukiya Kelari and I come from Larisa University of Thessaly, Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology. What's the title of your poster? The title of my poster is Transmission of RNAi Signals by Beneficial Fungal Endophyte to Tunicotiana Barthamiana Alliance. And in one sentence, can you summarize why is this research important? Studying RNAi phenomena during symbiosis can help us understand better how symbiotic microorganisms can communicate with their host plants. What is your name and where do you come from? Hello, my name is Sandu. I'm from Hungary. I study there. And can you tell me the title of your poster? The characterization of kudya to multidrack transporter genes. And why is this research important? Nowadays, there is no appropriate treatment and there are no antifungals what we can use to treat, to cure patients because mostly this pathogen, like opportunistic pathogen, it infects only immunocompromised people. So patients who have a weak immune system. So they are already having a bad immune system. And to cure them with strong drugs, antifungals, it's already so dangerous. What is your name and where do you come from? My name is Massimo Tedieschi and I come from the Netherlands and I am a PhD student of Leiden University. Can you tell me the title of your poster? The title of my poster is activity-based profiling of beta-mananases in Aspergillus Niger. And in a few words, can you summarize why is this research important? We are developing some molecular tools that we are using and we are showing their utility into characterizing glycosylhydrolases that are in this case produced by Aspergillus Niger. And these glycosylhydrolases are interesting for biotechnological application. For example, the production of second-generation bionethanol. And yeah, we are basically trying to show that these are very interesting tools and very useful in showing the properties of these enzymes. My name is Raquel Ledo-Doval and I come from Spain. But I am currently working in Utrecht in the Westerdijk Institute. Can you tell me the title of your poster? Versus terrestrial counterparts in their ability for marine and plant biomass degradation. And in one sentence, can you summarize why is this research important? We need a protein transition. We need to get more proteins from plant-based materials. So for that, what we are doing now is to extract proteins from algae using fungal enzymes for each. What is your name and where do you come from? Hello, I am Anastasia Hristinaki and I am from Greece at the National Capodistra University of Athens. Can you tell me the title of your poster? And the critical question is why is this research important? It causes a great reduction in the production of this mushroom. There are not a lot of results and literature related to this species. Here I did the first cold genome sequencing for this species, which gives us a lot of information of what genes are in the genome and if they are related to the pathogenicity. It is the first step to start exploring this interaction between these two fungi.
