Abstract
species can mediate cheese rind development via differential inhibition of bacterial community members. Because LaeA regulates specialized metabolites and other ecologically relevant traits in a wide range of filamentous fungi, this global regulator may have similar impacts in other fungus-dominated microbiomes.
