Three Fusarium species discovered in 🇿🇦 Eastern Cape dairy pastures reveal potential implications for cattle health.
One species was named Fusarium mariecurieae to honour Marie Curie and recognise support from the @MSCActions project @mycobiomics.

5/n Our study highlights #Fusarium diversity in pastures in 🇿🇦and we are now investigating secondary metabolites & #mycotoxin production in these new species. Stay tuned for more 🧬🔬🧫🧪

4/n Additionally, we provided the first formal description of #Fusarium goeppertmayerae, since the original authors had not included one. Two more species remain undescribed due to poor morphological development in culture. 🤔 @mycokeys @Fabiteam1 @mycobiomics

3/n We formally described them as:
🔬 Fusarium cumulatum (Equiseti clade) – named for its abundant chlamydospore formation
🌿 Fusarium pascuum (Camptoceras clade) – from Latin pascuum (pasture)
🧪Fusarium mariecurieae – honoring Marie Curie & @MSCActions support @MycoKeys

1/n 🥁We named a newly discovered #fungal species, #Fusarium mariecurieae, in honor of #MarieCurie (1867–1934) and in recognition of support from the @MSCActions grant @mycobiomics Naming a species is a taxonomist’s ❤️ language.

Yayyy what a big day for Applied Mycology Group @Fabiteam1 We welcomed two interns, Annah and Steven, and two honours students, Unathi and Kerryn, to our group. Also celebrated the first student publication of the group written by Jenna-Lee Price📝⭐️#mycology

FARMER'S INSIDE TRACK: With agriculture always lurking somewhere in her thoughts, it's no wonder that research analyst Shivan Bezuidenhout eventually gave into the mesmerising appeal of a job she regards as meaningful.

Tomorrow there will be a quiz night
@Fabiteam1 Our team #penicillinisnotagenus is getting ready to show at least the #10shadesofgreen What is the code for your favourite #penicillium #green 💚

🥁🥁Please mark your calendars for Marc Stadler’s talk at @Fabiteam1 international seminar series about discovery of new fungal metabolites! a side note, we granted a @MSCActions RISE grant which is starting this year together with Marc, @FungusCrous @CobusVisagie2 and others🎉

#Mycotoxins, more specifically #aflatoxin caused death of at least 110 dogs. Check your feed and hope it is not Sportsmix brand. Mycotoxins are global issues and affecting both human and animals. And with climate change, the challenge is becoming bigger
Recalled food contaminated with fungal toxin aflatoxin from mouldy corn ingredient is a danger to dogs in many countries after export by Sportsmix brand, USA. Has already killed 110 dogs. Check your bags! slashgear.com/fda-says-deadl…

⚠️ Climate change is threatening our only home, the most vulnerable and the resources we need to produce our food.
⏰ @thom_astro reminds us that there is no planet B.
🌏 We need to protect our home.
