Environmental sphagnum-associated fungi target thiol homeostasis to compete with <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
2024-09-24
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterial species in nature are found in abundance in sphagnum peat bogs where they compete for nutrients with a variety of microorganisms including fungi. We screened a collection of fungi isolated from sphagnum bogs by co-culture with Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) to look for inducible expression of antitubercular agents and identified five fungi that produced cidal antitubercular agents upon exposure...
