Plants are full of microbes! Fungal and bacterial endophytes live inside healthy plant tissue, but WTF are they doing in there? Join Dr. Ron Deckert and me as we get super nerdy about endophytic fungi. We talk about all four types or classes of endophytes that found inside plants and the features that make each type distinct. Not only is Ron an expert endophytologist, he is also the musical mastermind behind the show. You can find Ron's research on ResearchGate and his music on SoundCloud. And if you are feeling super nerdy, you can get the paper that describes the four classes of endophytes nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/j.1469-8137.2009.02773.x. If you have a question about biology or ecology, send me an email ([email protected]) or DM me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and/or TikTok. I'm @wtf_biology in all of those places. Hell, you might be featured in a minisode.
