Joining forces to exploit the mycobiota of Asia, Africa and Europe for beneficial metabolites and potential biocontrol agents, using -OMICS techniques

Joining forces to exploit the mycobiota of Asia, Africa and Europe for beneficial metabolites and potential biocontrol agents, using -OMICS techniques

This project (see also https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101008129) is a follow-up of the The H2020-MSCA-RISE GoMyTRi project, which has successfully paved the way for international collaboration between three global research leaders from Germany, the Netherlands and Thailand. With partners specialised in applied mycology, the project explored beneficial secondary metabolites for the development of antibiotics and identified potential candidates for the development of environmentally friendly fungal biocontrol agents. The EU-funded MYCOBIOMICS project intends to expand the collaboration to carefully selected partners from Austria, Czech Republic, Kenya and South Africa for implementing omics technologies and studies on the interaction of fungal organisms to discover new bioactive molecules. The project will also characterise the mycobiota of important agricultural plants.

The dissemination activities include scientific publications, plenary talks and poster presentations that formed part of the program of various important international and national scientific conferences

We combine here the scientific output of our project, including all papers and some important conference presentations.
