Our latest review is now live! Check out our thoughts on how the filamentous lifestyle of Actinomycetes and their ability to make a diverse array of natural products may be connected 👇: annualreviews.org/content/jo…
Huge congrats to the newly minted Dr. Luis Cantu Morin (aka @s_coelicolor) for graduating and for an incredible finishing talk!!
Our recent work on Actinobacterial G protein systems is live on bioRxiv! These regulatory systems are conserved in Actinomycetota and are involved in secondary metabolism, phage defense, and cellular development. Check out the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

"UBC Forestry has an incredible research community representing a broad diversity of approaches and perspectives."🍄🔥
Meet @MonikaSFischer, the newest #UBCForestry and @UBCBotany Assistant Professor👋
💡 Get to know her in our latest In The Spotlight: bit.ly/3WruK0k
Excited to see research uncovering a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides in Actinos. Including systems related to our work on Cvn8 in Streptomyces! Great work of @MDMlab_Paris and @HelenaShomar
#Microbiology #PhageDefense #Actinos
🚨Super excited to share our pre-print describing how we used genomics to discover a family of anti-phage lanthipeptides from Actinobacteria 🦠
This marks a significant expansion in the number of bacterial natural products involved in chemical defense.

🌟Congrats to our own Dr. Monika on joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as Assistant Professor! 💪 We are incredibly excited for the launch of the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab this fall. Best of luck, @MonikaSFischer! You've made our team proud! 🔥🍄 #TeamSuccess #UBC #FireFungiLab
Thrilled to announce that I will be joining @UBCBotany and @ubcforestry as an Assistant Professor very soon! Stay tuned for updates from the Fischer Fire Fungi Lab, opening this fall in beautiful, fungiful, Vancouver, BC! 🔥🍄🔥

Super stoked to share this paper, now in its final form @Environmicrobi !! Thanks to the reviewers who helped us improve our story that began with a totally epic time-series of post-fire soil samples and ends with a dynamic and pyrophilous subcommunity!

Not ideal that I'm losing my voice the day I needed to give my talk at #MSAfungi23! But the Fungi and Fire session this morning was awesome! 🍄🍄🔥🔥@sydneyglassman @MonikaSFischer

Massive CONGRATS to newly minted Dr. @NeemJPatel !!! 🎉🎉🎉 Absolutely phenomenal Phinishing Talk. My heart is bursting 🥹. It’s been such and honor and a privilege to be her postdoc mentor and partner in science! Watch out, cause she’s on fire!!🔥 @TraxLab @PMB_Berkeley – at Berkeley, CA

Having a data/file organizing day and realized I never finished my annual tradition of updating this plot of CA wildfires (total acres burned +highlighting specific named fires that burned >100,000acres). 2022 was a phenomenally moist year, with nary a fire >100K!🔥

Student-focused one-day microbiology conference at UC Berkeley next month!!! Open to all! Registration is FREE! ....as a former chair of this event, I'm totally biased in saying this is one of the most awesome micro events ever. Come hang, share your work, met new micro-pals!
We're now about two months(!) out from @UCBerkeley Micro Student Symposium 🥳 Registration closes on March 15th, so make sure to sign up soon (free registration) at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

ALT Early and late pyrophilous colonizers. The brown–green bar shows the underlying lifestyle of these species in a mix of saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal fungi. Similarly, the black–grey bar shows a gradient of pyrophily (i.e. fungi that are present in the early stages of post-fire soil colonization), and pyrotolerance (i.e. fungi that colonize the soil months after fire events).
