  • Ancestral predisposition toward a domesticated lifestyle in the termite-cultivated fungus Termitomyces 
    Van de Peppel, Lennart J.J.; Nieuwenhuis, Mathijs; Auxier, Benjamin; Grum-Grzhimaylo, Alexey A.; Cardenas, Martha E.; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Lodge, D. Jean; Smith, Matthew E.; Kuyper, Thomas W.; Franco-Molano, Ana E.; Baroni, Timothy J.; Aanen, Duur K. (Elsevier, 2021-10)
    The ancestor of termites relied on gut symbionts for degradation of plant material, an association that persists in all termite families. However, the single-lineage Macrotermitinae has additionally acquired a fungal ...
  • Female-biased sex allocation and lack of inbreeding avoidance in Cubitermes termites 
    Sinotte, Veronica M.; Conlon, Benjamin H.; Seibel, Elena; Schwitalla, Jan W.; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Poulsen, Michael; Bos, Nick (Wiley Open Access, 2021-05)
    Sexually reproducing organisms face a strong selective pressure to find a mate and ensure reproduction. An important criterion during mate-selection is to avoid closely related individuals and subsequent potential fitness ...
  • Fire impacts bacterial composition in Protea repens (Proteaceae) infructescences 
    Human, Zander Rainier; Roets, Francois; Crous, Casparus J.; Wingfield, Michael J.; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Venter, S.N. (Stephanus Nicolaas) (Oxford University Press, 2021-10)
    The diverse bacterial communities in and around plants provide important benefits, such as protection against pathogens and cycling of essential minerals through decomposition of moribund plant biomass. Biodiverse fynbos ...
  • Generic boundaries in the Ophiostomatales reconsidered and revised 
    De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Procter, M.; Wingfield, Michael J.; Marincowitz, Seonju; Duong, Tuan A. (Elsevier, 2022-03-30)
    The Ophiostomatales was erected in 1980. Since that time, several of the genera have been redefined and others have been described. There are currently 14 accepted genera in the Order. They include species that are the ...
  • GNPS - guided discovery of Madurastatin siderophores from the termite-associated actinomadura sp. RB99 
    Lee, Seoung Rak; Schalk, Felix; Schwitalla, Jan W.; Guo, Huijuan; Yu, Jae Sik; Song, Moonyong; Jung, Won Hee; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Beemelmanns, Christine; Kim, Ki Hyun (Wiley, 2022-06)
    In this study, we analyzed if Actinomadura sp. RB99 produces siderophores that that could be responsible for the antimicrobial activity observed in co-cultivation studies. Dereplication of high-resolution tandem mass ...
  • Novel Fusarium mutualists of two Euwallacea species infesting Acacia crassicarpa in Indonesia 
    Lynn, Kira Mary Theresa; Wingfield, Michael J.; Duran, Alvaro; Oliveira, Leonardo S.S.; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Barnes, Irene (Taylor and Francis, 2021)
    Several species in the Euwallacea fornicatus complex have emerged as important pests of woody plants globally, particularly in habitats where they are invasive aliens. These beetles live in obligate symbioses with fungi ...
  • Ophiostomatoid fungi including a new species associated with Asian larch bark beetle Ips subelongatus, in Heilongjiang (Northeast China) 
    Chang, Runlei; Wingfield, Michael J.; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Zhou, Xudong; Duong, Tuan A. (Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, 2021-12)
    Ips subelongatus (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) is an important bark beetle species that infests Larix spp. in Asia. Individuals of this beetle are vectors of ophiostomatoid fungi, on their exoskeletons, that are transmitted ...
  • Screening for susceptibility of macadamia to Euwallacea fornicatus and its fungal symbiont Fusarium euwallaceae 
    Twiddy, D.; Fell, Shawn; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Fourie, Gerda (American Phytopathological Society, 2021-04)
    The polyphagous shothole borer (Euwallacea fornicatus, PSHB), an ambrosia beetle, with its fungal symbiont, Fusarium euwallaceae, is responsible for Fusarium dieback (FD) in a wide range of woody hosts. In 2019, the first ...
