Anemochore Seeds Harbor Distinct Fungal and Bacterial Abundance, Composition, and Functional Profiles

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2022
Many plants adapted to harsh environments have evolved low seed mass (‘light seeds’) with specific dispersal strategies, primarily either by wind (anemochory) or water (hydrochory).

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

Foliar fungi of Betula pendula:impact of tree species mixtures and assessment methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Foliar fungi of silver birch (Betula pendula) in an experimental Finnish forest were investigated across a gradient of tree species richness using molecular high-throughput sequencing and visual macroscopic assessment.

Wild Panax plants adapt to their thermal environment by harboring abundant beneficial seed endophytic bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The seed microbiome of crop wild relatives is a potential reservoir of beneficial traits that potentially improve their host plant resilience to fluctuating environments and pathogenic threats.

Sydowia polyspora dominates fungal communities carried by two Tomicus species in pine plantations threatened by Fusarium circinatum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Producción CientíficaBark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) carry a diverse filamentous fungal community sometimes acting as vectors or carriers of phytopathogens.

A mycorrhizae-like gene regulates stem cell and gametophore development in mosses

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Plant evolution is intimately associated with fungal partners. Here the authors provide evidence that Physcomitrella patens MACRO2, a gene likely derived from early mycorrhizae-like fungi, was transferred to early land plants and plays an important role ...

Current ecological understanding of fungal-like pathogens of fish: what lies beneath? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Despite increasingly sophisticated microbiological techniques, and long after the first discovery of microbes, basic knowledge is still lacking to fully appreciate the ecological importance of microbial parasites in fish. This is likely due to the nature

Ghost-tree: creating hybrid-gene phylogenetic trees for diversity analyses. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BackgroundFungi play critical roles in many ecosystems, cause serious diseases in plants and animals, and pose significant threats to human health and structural integrity problems in built environments.

Macrofungi Cultivation in Shady Forest Areas Significantly Increases Microbiome Diversity, Abundance and Functional Capacity in Soil Furrows

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Cultivating macrofungi is an important management measure to develop economy in shady forest areas; however, its effect on soil ecology, especially microbial abundance and structure, remains insufficiently studied.

Exploring hidden dimensions of soil fungal biodiversity: A simple technique to detect soil fungi resistant to antifungal compounds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Soils are known to be ultimate and complex reservoirs of microbial diversity. The complex dimensions of bacterial and fungal diversity in tropical soils and microbial community dynamics are underexplored.
