Cultivable fungal diversity in two karstic caves in Italy: under-investigated habitats as source of putative novel taxa

Scientific Reports
Microbial diversity of caves is largely understudied and its possible applications are still unknown. Autochthonous fungi, in particular, may have the potential to biomineralize metals and may be used as promising agents for bioremediation of polluted ...

Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles as a Nanofungicide Against Diverse Phytopathogenic Fungi

Journal of Nanotechnology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) employing biological resources has gained momentum in comparison with chemical synthesis, contributing significantly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The important features of AgNP biosynthesis include renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, lower cost, and dual

Variation in seed‐borne microbial communities of Metrosideros excelsa Sol. ex Gaertn. with consequences for germination success

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 1981-2004, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Seed endophytic bacteria and fungi are co‐dispersed with seeds and are likely founders of the initial endophytic microbiome in developing seedlings. The effects of the seed microbiome on seedling survival and growth are of particular interest for their roles in protection against pathogens and plant resistance to environmental stress.

An updated multigene phylogeny of Leotiomycetes

Persoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi
Fig. S1. ML tree expanded from Fig. 1. The labels for taxa include the voucher specimen from which the sequences were obtained, the type status of the specimen (TypeSpecies = a specimen identified as the type for that genus; exTypeSpecimen = the type specimen of the type for that genus), and the source of the genome data for those that have had their ...

Effects of Growth Media on the Diversity of Culturable Fungi from Lichens

Molecules, 2017
Microscopic and molecular studies suggest that lichen symbioses contain a plethora of associated fungi. These are potential producers of novel bioactive compounds, but strains isolated on standard media usually represent only a minor subset of these ...

Decaying Spruce Wood as a Factor in Soil Carbon and Energy Flow Through Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Decomposing spruce deadwood enhances microbial activity, increases carbon and nitrogen availability and improves soil moisture retention. It plays a crucial role in long‐term carbon storage and biodiversity maintenance, influencing energy and nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems.

From Mud to Meat: Comparative Metabarcoding Reveals Two Different Evolutionary Paths to Carnivory in a Group of Meiofaunal Annelids

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Perspectives on microbial community changes produced by Hermitia illucens frass and their impact on soil suppression against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6832-6842, October 2025.
Soils amended with chitin or black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) frass reduced Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae propagules compared to non‐amended soil. Changes observed in microbial communities could be involved. Abstract BACKGROUND Organic soil amendments rich in chitin have demonstrated significant potential promoting suppressive soils.
