Epicoccum nigrum Timelapse * 1
    #27312822 - 05/17/21 05:28 PM (3 years, 2 days ago)

I recently isolated a really cool ascomycota called Epicoccum nigrum and put together this quick timelapse that I thought you folks might enjoy:



This fungi produces some really cool pigments and metabolites, such as a fluorescent dye. I was able to sort of capture it here under UVA.


A bunch of other cool photos and sequence here:

Definitely one of my favorite fungi to have isolated and sequenced so far.

Thanks for posting this. Fascinating fungus and really nicely done time-lapse, too. What’s the normal habitat for this stuff?

It's a common plant pathogen. I happened to capture this one from some leaf spot on one of my Camelia bushes.

It's beautiful! Never heard of it before, but am definitly going to hunt this one down.
Might be nice to try some sort of antifungal and antibacterial assay with it as it produces these compounds (I just read). Plate it on the same plate with a basidiomycete for example, and see how they hold up to each other.
Did you just use regular LME or PDA or did you tweak it?
And how did you identify it? PCR of ITS regions followed by sequencing and blast?
Just curious :smile:

I used plain MEA and identified with ITS sequence and morphology.
