Tracking fungal community responses to maize plants by DNA- and RNA-based pyrosequencing. [PDF]
We assessed soil fungal diversity and community structure at two sampling times (t1 = 47 days and t2 = 104 days of plant age) in pots associated with four maize cultivars, including two genetically modified (GM) cultivars by high-throughput ...

DNA quantification of basidiomycetous fungi during storage of logging residues [PDF]
The demand for bioenergy caused an increased use of logging residues, branches and treetops that were previously left on the ground after harvesting. Residues are stored outdoors in piles and it is unclear to what extent fungi transform this material ...

Use of magnetic beads to extract fungal DNA [PDF]
SummaryAuthors compare two methods of extracting DNA from different fungi: the classic method with phenol/chloroform (P/C) and that with magnetic beads. Both were tested on Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans, belonging to the yeast group and Microsporum canis, M. gypseum, Trichophyton rubrum, T. interdigitale, T.

Introduction of a bead beating step improves fungal DNA extraction from selected patient specimens
In immunocompromised patients a colonisation with fungi carries the risk to develop serious invasive fungal infection. An early detection is therefore important, but not optimal hitherto.

Molecular Characterization of Subunit G of the Vacuolar ATPase in Pathogen Dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum [PDF]
Trichophyton rubrum is an anthropophilic fungus causing up to 90% of chronic cases of dermatophytosis. Several properties of this fungus have been investigated so far.

Spatial structure of fungal DNA assemblages revealed with eDNA metabarcoding in a forest river network in western Japan [PDF]
Growing evidence has revealed high diversity and spatial heterogeneity of fungal communities in local habitats of terrestrial ecosystems. Recently, the analysis of environmental DNA has been undertaken to study the biodiversity of organisms, such as ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...
