Fungicides and the grapevine wood mycobiome: a case study on Tracheomycotic Ascomycete Phaemoniella chlamydospora reveals potential for two novel control strategies [PDF]
, 2019 Original ResearchPhaeomoniella chlamydospora is a tracheomycotic fungus that colonizes the xylem of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.), causing wood discoloration, brown wood streaking, gummosis, and wood necrosis, which negatively affect the overall ...

An Optimized Metabarcoding Method for Mimiviridae [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Mimiviridae is a group of viruses with large genomes and virions. Ecological relevance of Mimiviridae in marine environments has been increasingly recognized through the discoveries of novel isolates and metagenomic studies. To facilitate ecological profiling of Mimiviridae, we previously proposed a meta-barcoding approach based on 82 degenerate primer

Quantification of marine benthic communities with metabarcoding [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021 AbstractDNA metabarcoding methods have been implemented in studies aimed at detecting and quantifying marine benthic biodiversity. In such surveys, universal barcodes are amplified and sequenced from environmental DNA. To quantify biodiversity with DNA metabarcoding, a relation between the number of DNA sequences of a species and its biomass and/or the

What goes in, must come out:combining scat-based molecular diet analysis and quantification of ingested microplastics in a marine top predator [PDF]
, 2019 Context: Microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm in size) are highly available for ingestion by a wide range of organisms, either through direct consumption or indirectly, via trophic transfer, from prey to predator.

PIMBA: A PIpeline for MetaBarcoding Analysis [PDF]
, 2021 ABSTRACTSummaryDNA metabarcoding is an emerging monitoring method capable of assessing biodiversity from environmental samples (eDNA). Advances in computational tools have been required due to the increase of Next-Generation Sequencing data. Tools for DNA metabarcoding analysis, such as MOTHUR, QIIME, Obitools, and mBRAVE have been widely used in ...
