Therefore, novel antifungal targets must be discovered by analyzing the molecular interaction between F. graminearum and its host. Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound compartments (30-1000 nm) that carry macromolecules and support fungal virulence, hence the disruption of EV production could lead to reduced fungal pathogenicity. However, EV study is limited by the lack of surface protein markers to aid in their characterization. Therefore, the aim of this report was to target a surface protein marker with an antibody, to unlock advanced EV characterization techniques. Using the list of potential EV markers for Candida albicans, we selected the tetraspanin-like Sur7 to perform immunogold microscopy, revealing that this protein is a surface marker of F. graminearum EVs. SUR7 is present on the surface of some but not all vesicles. EVs carrying SUR7 were larger than those without the marker, suggesting that there are subtypes of fungal EVs. The epitope recognized by the anti-Sur7 antibody is conserved in other Fusarium pathogens, making Sur7 a potential pan-Fusarium EV marker.

Interactions between the mycoparasitic Trichoderma spp. and beneficial ectomycorrhizal fungi such as Laccaria bicolor (Hydnangiaceae, Basidiomycota) can influence the structure of fungal communities and plant symbioses. In this study, we conducted in vitro dual-culture experiments involving L. bicolor and four Trichoderma strains (T. harzianum WM24a1, MS8a1, ES8g1, and T. atrobrunneum) to analyze their metabolic responses in relation to varying degrees of physical contact. Using integrated analyses of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hyphal metabolomes, and secreted exudates, we uncovered strong contact- and strain-dependent growth inhibition patterns: Trichoderma growth was suppressed under shared headspace, whereas L. bicolor was more strongly inhibited under direct contact. Metabolomic profiling revealed distinct and strain-specific alterations in both VOC and soluble metabolite profiles during co-cultivation, with hundreds of discriminant mass features affected. Key metabolic pathways, including amino acid, carbohydrate, lipid, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis, showed differential enrichment depending on the interaction stage and fungal partner. These results demonstrate that Trichoderma-Laccaria interactions are mediated by dynamic, contact-specific chemical reprogramming and suggest that fungal recognition and competition involve coordinated changes in both volatile and non-volatile metabolite production. Our findings provide a foundation for exploring how such antagonistic interactions may influence tripartite communication in plant-associated microbial networks.
