Instead of closing events and gatherings down, things are quickly opening back up due to the availability of highly effective vaccines against COVID-19. I hope you were as happy as I was to register for the 2021 SIMB Annual Meeting to be held in Austin, Texas, August 8–11. Though the technology that has enabled virtual meetings is simply amazing, it cannot replace the human connections that occur in person. In this issue of SIMB News, Drs. Joan Bennett, Max Häggblom, and Raymond Sullivan prepared a touching memorial of Dr. Doug Eveleigh. Many of us fondly remember Doug’s entertaining talks from past SIMB meetings for his humor and insightful knowledge of molds and fungi. Also in this issue is an announcement that Joan was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Congratulations to Joan! In addition, congratulations go out to Drs. Nigel Mouncey (President-Elect), Elisabeth Elder (re-elected as Secretary), and Ben Shen (Director) as they take these positions during the 2021 Business Meeting, held on the last day of the Annual Meeting. The current officers and board members should also be congratulated on the work they performed to maintain the organizational health of the SIMB during this incredibly difficult year. They have ensured that SIMB remained sound. I’m looking forward to seeing you in Austin, Texas, for the 2021 SIMB Annual Meeting! Sincerely, Melanie R.

Rutgers Professor Joan Bennett Elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences Joan W. Bennett, a Distinguished Professor of Plant Biology and Pathology at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. “Receiving this honor would not have been possible without the support of my mentors, professional peers and, most especially, the many wonderful students who have worked in my laboratory over the years,” said Bennett, who works in the Department of Plant Biology in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. “Moreover, it gives me particular pride to see that this year, 55 percent of the people elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences are women.” Bennett and 251 other new members were recognized for helping to solve the world’s most urgent challenges, creating meaning through art and contributing to the common good from every field, discipline and profession. The academy was established in 1780 by John Adams, John Hancock and others who believed the new republic should honor exceptionally accomplished individuals and engage them in advancing the public good. The academy’s dual mission remains essentially the same today with members from increasingly diverse fields working together to share ideas and recommendations in the arts, democracy, education, global affairs and science, according to an academy statement. Bennett joined Rutgers in 2006 after serving on the faculty at Tulane University for more than 30 years. Her laboratory studies the genetics and physiology of filamentous (thread- like) fungi. In addition to mycotoxins (natural toxins produced by some fungi) and other secondary metabolites, her research focuses on the volatile organic compounds emitted by fungi. These small molecules give molds and mushrooms their characteristic odors. The Bennett lab has found that one fungal volatile organic compound known as “mushroom alcohol” is a neurotoxin in Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, and retards the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana, a flowering plant. It also inhibits growth of the fungus that causes deadly “white-nose syndrome” in bat populations. In other studies, the lab has 38 SIMB NEWS www.simbhq.org news demonstrated that volatile organic compounds from living cultures of Trichoderma, a known biocontrol fungus, can enhance plant growth. Bennett has also been involved in studying the genomes of fungi. Bennett was associate vice president for the Office for the Promotion of Women in Science, Engineering and Mathematics at Rutgers from 2006 to 2014 and continues to serve as senior faculty advisor to the group, which is known as “SciWomen.” She is committed to supporting and advancing women in science and served as chair of the National Academies Committee on Women in Science, Engineering and Medicine from 2018 to 2020. She also served as editor-in-chief of Mycologia; vice president of the British Mycological Society and the International Union of Microbiological Societies; and president of the American Society for Microbiology and the Society for Industrial

    CHAPTER 104 AN ACT designating Streptomyces griseus as the New Jersey State Microbe and supplementing chapter 9A of Title 52 of the Revised Statutes. WHEREAS, Streptomyces griseus is a soil-based microorganism that was first discovered in New Jersey in 1916 by Dr. Selman Waksman and Dr. Roland Curtis; and WHEREAS, Soon after its discovery, the microbe drew international acclaim for its groundbreaking use as an antibiotic; and WHEREAS, In 1943, a research team from Rutgers University, led by Dr. Waksman with Albert Schatz and Elizabeth Bugie, used Streptomyces griseus to create streptomycin, the world’s first antibiotic for tuberculosis; and WHEREAS, The original discovery paper for streptomycin, entitled “Streptomycin, a Substance Exhibiting Antibiotic Activity Against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria,” was co- authored by Dr. Waksman, Dr. Schatz, and Elizabeth Bugie, and published in the Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine; and WHEREAS, After clinical trials showed that streptomycin cured ailing tuberculosis patients, Merck & Company, a New Jersey-based pharmaceutical company, quickly made the drug available to the public; and WHEREAS, Prior to this discovery, tuberculosis was one of the deadliest diseases in human history and the second leading cause of death in the United States; and WHEREAS, Within 10 years of streptomycin’s release, tuberculosis mortality rates in the U.S. fell to a historic low, with only 9.1 tuberculosis-related deaths per 100,000 people in 1955 compared to the rate of 194 deaths per 100,000 people in 1900; and WHEREAS, According to a June 1947 New York Times article, streptomycin had “become one of the two wonder drugs of medicine” and offered the “promise to save more lives than were lost in both World Wars”; and WHEREAS, Dr.

Commemorative Booklet (PDF) Waksman and his students, in their laboratory at Rutgers University, established the first screening protocols to detect antimicrobial agents produced by microorganisms. This deliberate search for chemotherapeutic agents contrasts with the discovery of penicillin, which came through a chance observation by Alexander Fleming, who noted that a mold contaminant on a Petri dish culture had inhibited the growth of a bacterial pathogen. During the 1940s, Waksman and his students isolated more than fifteen antibiotics, the most famous of which was streptomycin, the first effective treatment for tuberculosis.

Gene targeting by homologous recombination can inactivate a predetermined chromosomal gene within an intact cell. (A) Insertion vector method. The introduced vector DNA (blue) is cut at a unique site within a sequence which is identical or closely related to part of a chromosomal gene (black). Homologous recombination (X) can occur, leading to integration of the entire vector sequence including the marker gene (M). Note that the letters do not represent exons but are simply meant to indicate linear order within the gene. (B) Replacement vector method. In this case, the marker gene is contained within the sequence homologous to the endogenous gene, and the vector is cut at a unique location outside the homologous sequence. A double recombination or gene conversion event (X X) can result in replacement of internal sequences within the chromosomal gene by homologous sequences from the vector, including the marker gene. 2 Figure 21.5. Double replacement gene targeting can Doble reemplazo be used to introduce subtle mutations. Both the methods in Figure 21.4 result in introduction of a substantial amount of exogenous sequence within the endogenous gene. To introduce a subtle mutation without leaving residual exogenous sequence, a double replacement method with positive and negative selection can be used (Melton, 1994). Exons in the endogenous gene are represented as numbered large boxes, and introns as long thin boxes. In order to introduce a subtle mutation, such as a single nucleotide substitution in exon 8, a replacement knock-out vector is used with a marker gene (e.g.
