This research developed a new genetic tool that allows scientists to express large genes from fungi in laboratory conditions. This breakthrough enables the production of potentially valuable compounds that were previously difficult or impossible to access. The impact on everyday life includes: • Potential development of new antibiotics, particularly against tuberculosis • More sustainable production methods for industrial chemicals and materials • Access to new natural compounds that could be used in medicine or industry • Ability to study previously unculturable fungi that may produce beneficial compounds • More efficient and environmentally friendly ways to produce valuable fungal products
