Fungal biodiscovery: Strategies to explore fungal secondary metabolite potential
Fungi have proven to be very biologically useful for humans, as their variety allows for new discoveries to continuously be made about them, providing constant opportunities for a discovery that may lead to a very useful product. However, an issue has arisen in that scientists are now rediscovering the same biological traits in multiple different species, meaning that it is no longer a valid course of action to simply analyze any singular fungus and expect to find something new every time. As a result of this, researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a new process to analyze large groups of fungi simultaneously, allowing them to continue making important discoveries, but now without the risk of wasting their own time.
