Can seaweed farming provide habitat for species ranging from microorganisms to megafauna?🦠🦀🐟 Our new review paper outlines its potential to, and evaluates methods to quantify this at seaweed farms globally 🌍 It's available open access here: doi.org/10.1111/raq.12…

Similar to forest fungi, #MarineFungi recycle nutrients supporting the growth of other marine life. They can also parasitize algae, managing their population size & composition which influences how much food is available for larger animals such as fish and polar bears. #MBAArctic

#preprint: 'taxonomic' and 'genomic' fungi do not match. We inferred that fungal evolution was characterised by continuous shedding of protist gene families and episodic evolution of novelty, with two large bursts of duplication. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

These are #yeasts from our marine fungi culture collection compete on agar plates, giving a first insight into marine yeast-yeast interactions. All strains tested inhibit some other strains, but some are better ‘killers’ than others, even being self-inhibitory. #MBAMMCE

Biologists have produced a strain of yeast whose genome is more than 50% synthetic DNA go.nature.com/3Qtp2a3

Researchers need funding, but more than anything we need a habitable planet to live on. Universities should be leading the way in setting & sticking to climate goals. I have admired amazing climate scientists at University of Exeter for 8 yrs but massive deals with Shell are shameful.

Great to see an article from New Scientist on marine fungi from Director of Science MBA - Marine Biological Association and Professor of Marine Microbiology University of Plymouth, Michael Cunliffe Michael Cunliffe 🏳️‍🌈 Read here ➡️ buff.ly/492FGVT

Great to give evidence to the Science, Technology and Innovation Select Committee (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) about the importance of fungi & the ways that the UK government can support 1) fungal conservation, 2) fungal research, and 3) fungal education.
