How Fungi & Bacteria Interact

<p>Fungi have a microbiome. Bacteria live in and on fungi, and their presence has been shown to be impressively influential on the ecology as a whole. Their co-evolution has shaped the trophs, genetics, metabolisms, vitality and more within these two kingdoms of life. Be prepared to reimagine fungal vigor and success as a communal effort. <br/><br/>Today we welcome the eloquent and brilliant Dr. Jessie Uehling from Oregon State who has been pioneering much of the research in the field. </p><p><b>Topics Covered:</b></p><ul><li>The primary ways fungi and bacteria interact</li><li>Co-evolution of bacteria and fungi </li><li>The implications of fungal-bacterial interactions with human life and ecosystem health </li><li>Brief discussion on fungal-fungal interactions</li><li>Diversity of fungal-bacterial interactions</li><li>Mechanism of hyphal invasion</li><li>Antibiotics and their effects on endosymbionts </li><li>Fungal mating and how endosymbiotic impact reproduction</li><li>How these relationships are studied in the lab</li></ul><p><b>Show Notes:</b></p><ul><li>Dr. Jessie Uehling&apos;s website: <a href='http://jessieuehling.com/'>http://jessieuehling.com/</a></li><li>Uehling Lab: <a href='https://uehlinglab677064000.wordpress.com/'>https://uehlinglab677064000.wordpress.com/</a></li><li>Endosymbionts protect their fungal hosts from nematodes: <a href='https://www.pnas.org/content/118/37/e2110669118.short'>https://www.pnas.org/content/118/37/e2110669118.short</a></li><li>Fungal endosymbionts metabolites: <a href='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16939276/'>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16939276/</a></li><li>Mechanisms of hyphal invasion: <a href='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25182414/'>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25182414/</a></li><li>Bacterial on the ‘Fungal Highway’: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnsYh6511Ic'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnsYh6511Ic</a> , <a href='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26432804/'>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26432804/</a></li><li>Fungal endosymbionts control hos
