Why are fungi so important, and what role does the Westerdijk Institute play? We had the pleasure of hosting Stichting van Waarden, where our director Wieland Meyer and @fhagen.bsky.social  shared insights into how #fungi contribute to One Health—keeping ecosystems, animals, and humans in balance

Draft genome sequence of Aureobasidium pullulans ATCC15233 (= CBS 249.65) #MRA @asm.org doi.org/10.1128/mra.... Strain available via the CBS Culture Collection @westerdijkinst.bsky.social

Draft genome sequence of Aureobasidium pullulans ATCC15233 | Microbiology Resource Announcements
Aureobasidium pullulans is an oligotrophic, saprophytic, and polymorphic yeast-like fungus with ubiquitous distribution, naturally occurring in a variety of terrestrial and aquatic environments (1). The fungus is primarily used for the production of pullulan, a new food additive, with applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries (2, 3). To elucidate the pullulan synthesis and regulation mechanism of A. pullulans, it is of great significance to sequence and analyze the whole genome. Therefore, we report the genome sequence of A. pullulans ATCC15233.

Aspergillus was named by Pier Antonio Micheli, an Italian priest and biologist. The molds resembled an aspergillum, a holy water sprinkler.
