In collaboration with the VIB BioImaging Core in Ghent, partner Ghent University has started testing promising co-cultivation set-ups of bacteria and fungi.

The Carlsberg Foundation has awarded an infrastructure grant to Prof. Phil Ayres of coordinating partner, Royal Danish Academy. The grant will support the procurement of equipment to enhance the capabilities of the Academy's Biolab to produce and analyse microbially mediated materials, with particular focus on ELMs within the Fungateria project.

The FUNGATERIA Kick-off took place today - 16.11.2022 - at the Royal Danish Academy.

Today marks the official start of the Fungateria project! Over the next 4 years, we will investigate the development of novel Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) using a co-culitvation approach combining fungi and bacteria.
