Section overview
Description
We study the biological role of secondary metabolites in interactions among organisms using tools of analytical chemistry and molecular genetics. Our objects are sesame/Macrophomina, Brassica/Verticillium, maize/Fusarium, Gliocladium roseum/Fusarium spp., Piriformospora indica and truffle fungi. Our second research focus are mycotoxins. We are interested in the biological function of mycotoxins, investigate their enzymatic detoxification by bacteria and fungi and develop biosensors for mycotoxins.
