Responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi to changes in carbon and nutrient availability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi may receive 20% of the total C fixed by their host plants and are essential components of host nutrient acquisition. As a consequence of the vast physiological diversity that exists among ECM fungi, changes in community ...

Deciphering the fungal symphony: unveiling the fungal dynamics during the fermentation of traditional Chinese strong-flavor Daqu

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Daqu, a starter culture rich in microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, is central to vinification and liquor brewing, yet fungal contributions are often understudied.

Enabling community-based metrology for wood-degrading fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Lignocellulosic biomass could support a greatly-expanded bioeconomy. Current strategies for using biomass typically rely on single-cell organisms and extensive ancillary equipment to produce precursors for downstream manufacturing processes ...

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Dispersal in microbes: fungi in indoor air are dominated by outdoor air and show dispersal limitation at short distances. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The indoor microbiome is a complex system that is thought to depend on dispersal from the outdoor biome and the occupants' microbiome combined with selective pressures imposed by the occupants' behaviors and the building itself.

Long‐term trends in parasite diversity and infection levels: approaches and patterns

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites exist in every ecosystem, affecting nearly all organisms and playing a complex role in human societies. On the one hand, they contribute substantially to biodiversity and support ecosystem stability by performing essential ecological functions.

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Microbial Community Structure and Organic Acid Metabolism and Their Correlation in the Second and Third Rounds of Stacking Fermentation of Sauce-Flavor Baijiu [PDF]

open access: yesShipin Kexue
The organic acids and microbial community structure of fermented grains in the dominant stacking fermentation rounds for sauce-flavor Baijiu production (i.e., the 2nd and 3rd rounds corresponding to the 3rd and 4th rounds of base liquor) were analyzed ...

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
