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. 

Today we welcome the eloquent and brilliant Dr. Jessie Uehling from Oregon State who has been pioneering much of the research in the field. 

Topics Covered:

• The primary ways fungi and bacteria interact
• Co-evolution of bacteria and fungi 
• The implications of fungal-bacterial interactions with human life and ecosystem health 
• Brief discussion on fungal-fungal interactions
• Diversity of fungal-bacterial interactions
• Mechanism of hyphal invasion
• Antibiotics and their effects on endosymbionts 
• Fungal mating and how endosymbiotic impact reproduction
• How these relationships are studied in the lab
