🎉 Big congrats to Rudvi Pednker! She just won a Poster Prize at the EMBL Symposium ‘The cellular mechanics of symbiosis’! 🏆 Rudvi rocked the stage with a quick talk on using synthetic biology & optogenetics in mammalian cells to reconstruct host-endosymbiont interactions. #MibiNet

A peek behind the scenes! For the 3rd time, MibiNet opened its lab doors for #Girlsday. From cheese fungi to palm oil substitutes from corn smut and fluorescence microscopy, proving that the smallest organisms can have the biggest impact. 🔬 @hhu.de

Huge thanks to Prof. Dr. Nick Talbot! We were fascinated by his MibiNet talk, exploring how the appressorium uses turgor pressure to infect rice & how the transpressorium spreads the fungus. Brilliant insights! @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social #MibiNet

HHU Research Day on 5.7.2025 was a great success! MibiNet captivated visitors with the "Sweet Secrets – Why Even Fungi Have a Sweet Tooth" experiment. We showed how sugar is broken down in microorganisms – from yeast to the corn smut fungus U. maydis. Big thanks to the team on site! #MibiNet #HHU

Successful Girls' Day at HHU, powered by the Institute of Microbiology & MibiNet! Explored "Fungi as a chemical factory" with enthusiastic young minds. Great questions & future scientists in the making! Hope to see them back at uni someday.🔬👧 #GirlsDay2025 #MibiNet @hhu.de @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social

Tiny scientists, huge fun! Children at AWO Kita Ki.Wis explored the world of fungi with Dr. Terfrüchte and the support of #MibiNet. Microscope, taste test & lots of fun! This is an excellent example of how to get children excited about science. www.awo-nr.de/awo/aktuelle...
