Research Interests My current work is focused on evolution and ecology of symbiotic associations formed by fungi with bacteria. My research group is unraveling the principles governing formation and evolutionary stability of fungal-bacterial mutualisms as well as fungal defense mechanisms deployed in interactions with antagonistic bacteria. Research topics include: • the role of endosymbiotic bacteria in ecological community assembly and evolutionary diversification of early divergent Mucoromycota fungi, • the impact of endosymbiotic bacteria on phenotypic diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycotina), • the mechanisms of innate immunity in Mucoromycotina molds. |
