Effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on <em>in vitro</em> growth of <em>Scleroderma sinnamariense</em> Mont., a pantropical ectomycorrhizal fungus [PDF]
International Journal of Biological and Chemical Sciences, 2012 The utilisation of a range of carbon sources in the presence of either ammonium or peptone as sole nitrogen source by Scleroderma sinnamariense, an ectomycorhiza fungus isolated from Gnetum africanum was compared with Pisolithus tinctorius. Scleroderma showed significant growth of 17 mg with glucose as carbon source in the presence of peptone-N ...

Acid phosphatase activity of the pantropical fungus Scleroderma sinnamariense in pure culture [PDF]
African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2013 Ectomycorrhizal fungi have been shown to improve on the phosphorus nutrition of their plant partners and acid phosphatase activities are thought to be important in the uptake process. The effect of nitrogen source and presence/absence of phosphorus in the experimental medium on acid phosphatase activity of Scleroderma sinnamariense, an ectomycorrhizal ...

Polysaccharides from the fungus Scleroderma nitidum with anti-inflammatory potential modulate cytokine levels and the expression of Nuclear Factor kB [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Farmacognosia, 2012 Several pharmacological properties are attributed to polysaccharides and glucans derived from fungi such as tumor, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activity. In this work, the anti-inflammatory potential of polysaccharides from the fungus Scleroderma nitidum and their possible action mechanism were studied.

The ectomycorrhizal fungus Scleroderma bermudense alleviates salt stress in seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera L.) seedlings [PDF]
Mycorrhiza, 2006 The purpose of this study was to test the capacity of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus, Scleroderma bermudense, to alleviate saline stress in seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera L.) seedlings. Plants were grown over a range (0, 200, 350 and 500 mM) of NaCl levels for 12 weeks, after 4 weeks of non-saline pre-treatment under greenhouse conditions.

Leaf-cutter ants – mycorrhizal fungi: observations and research questions from an unexpected mutualism [PDF]
Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2023 Leaf-cutter ants (LCAs) are widely distributed and alter the physical and biotic architecture above and below ground. In neotropical rainforests, they create aboveground and belowground disturbance gaps that facilitate oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
