The Internet of Fungal Cells
Abstract
The main aim of the project is to question how cell-cell communication within a fungal colony works and if there is an epigenetic memory within this network. Specifically we work on: (i) We will use specific reporter strains which display metanbolic activity within a colony and use these strains to follow signal generation and establishment.(ii) we will use our panel of epigenetic mutants in combination with the reporter strains as look if and how the signal transmission is changed in these mutants. The project will hae an educational part in which young students will learn to work with fungi and get acquainted with sophisticated microscopic methods.
