A study on the prevalence of keratinophilic fungal biota of semi-arid region of Rajasthan, India

Journal of King Saud University - Science, 2020
Abstract Keratinophilic fungi are morphologically and physiologically allied molds that produce the keratinase enzyme which degrades the keratin materials in or on the soil. Fifty soil samples were collected from various habitats of Rajasthan namely Jaipur, Ajmer, Alwar and Sikar in India.

Contribution to knowledge of the mycobiota of Kampinos National Park (Poland): part 2

Acta Mycologica, 2019
Continuation of the mycological study of the fire-damaged pine forest in Kampinos National Park in central Poland in 2017 produced interesting new findings. Among the taxa collected, 36 were new to the park, six had not been hitherto reported from Poland

AM fungal-bacterial relationships: what can they tell us about ecosystem sustainability and soil functioning?

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2023
Considering our growing population and our continuous degradation of soil environments, understanding the fundamental ecology of soil biota and plant microbiomes will be imperative to sustaining soil systems.

Chemical Constituents of Taxodium mucronatum (Cupressaceae) and Some of Its Endophytic Fungi, and Their In Silico and In Vitro Evaluations as SARS-CoV-2 Inhibitors and as Cytotoxic Agents. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
Abietanes, pimaranes and cycloartanes were characterized from different plant tissues of Taxodium mucronatum. Curvularins, mycophenolic acids and ergosterol were isolated from some fungal endophytes. The isolated compounds were in silico and in vitro evaluated as antiviral and cytotoxic agents.

Pedological origin and edaphic factors drive biota in vineyard soils of Northeast Italy

OENO One
Soil biota is responsible for essential biological processes occurring in the soil. Biota composition, biodiversity and activity can be affected by soil properties, biogeography and human activities. This study, conducted in vineyards of Northeast Italy,

Comment on “The Volyn biota (Ukraine) – indications of 1.5 Gyr old eukaryotes in 3D preservation, a spotlight on the `boring billion' ” by Franz et al. (2023) [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Franz et al. (2023) report a diverse and three-dimensionally preserved suite of mid-Proterozoic microfossils from miarolitic cavities within the granitic Volyn pegmatite field, a major granitic plutonic complex in NW Ukraine.

Ribosomal DNA and Plastid Markers Used to Sample Fungal and Plant Communities from Wetland Soils Reveals Complementary Biotas

PLOS ONE, 2016
Though the use of metagenomic methods to sample below-ground fungal communities is common, the use of similar methods to sample plants from their underground structures is not. In this study we use high throughput sequencing of the ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit (rbcL) plastid marker to study the plant community as well as the internal

Prolonged impacts of past agriculture and ungulate overabundance on soil fungal communities in restored forests

Environmental DNA, 2021
Soil fungi can help improve ecosystem restoration, yet our understanding of how they reassemble in degraded land is limited. Here, using DNA metabarcoding, we studied the fungal community structure in reforested sites following agricultural abandonment ...
