Comparative Analysis of Fungal Spore Flora Among Birds, Insects and Air in a Temperate Japanese Forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Birds, insects and air each host distinct fungal spore communities in a Japanese temperate forest; birds and insects act as selective vectors, while air provides maximal diversity. Our study highlights the importance of analysing multiple taxa to understand ecosystem‐level fungal spore dispersal and interactions.

Factors determining the occurrence of Flat Bugs (Aradidae) in beech dominated forests [PDF]

, 2007
The habitat requirements of most Aradidae and the decisive factors that influence their occurrence are still poorly understood. To reduce this lack of knowledge a standardised survey of Aradidae in two large beech forest areas of Bavaria (northern ...

Identification, heterologous expression and characterization of a dye-decolorizing peroxidase of Pleurotus sapidus [PDF]

, 2017
The coding sequence of a peroxidase from the secretome of Pleurotus sapidus was cloned from a cDNA library. Bioinformatic analyses revealed an open reading frame of 1551 bp corresponding to a primary translation product of 516 amino acids.

Changes in the Wood Fungal Community Composition in Living Chamaecyparis pisifera Trees During the Progression of Heart Rot Caused by Serpula himantioides

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Serpula himantioides is a widely distributed wood rot fungus that causes heart rot in various tree species. In Japan, heart rot due to S. himantioides occurs in Chamaecyparis pisifera; however, changes in the wood fungal community composition accompanying the progression of heart rot in living trees remain unclear.

Purification and characterization of two lignin peroxidase isozymes produced by Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55

FEBS Letters, 1998
The white‐rot fungus Bjerkandera sp. strain BOS55 excretes at least seven lignin peroxidase (LiP) isozymes. Two of these, LiP‐2 and LiP‐5 (molecular weight 40–42 kDa), were purified to homogeneity. Both isozymes had the same N‐terminal amino acid sequence which showed strong homology with LiP isozymes produced by other white‐rot fungi.

Recycling and Degradation Pathways of Synthetic Textile Fibers such as Polyamide and Elastane

Global Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2025.
This review concerns two types of fibers widely used in the textile industry, polyamide and elastane, presenting common recycling types (mechanical and chemical) and focusing on biological pathways. Microbial degradation makes it possible to break down the material into carbon dioxide, water, methane, and mineral salts, while recycling by enzymatic ...

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]

, 2012
The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and
