Keratinolytic Fungi in Egyptian Soils [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 1982
AbstractThe frequency of occurrence of keratinolytic fungi in seventy soil samples, collected from different sites in Upper Egypt and in the coastal area of the Mediterranean, was determined by baiting with human and animal hairs and pigeon feathers.Twenty‐one species, in addition to an unidentified species, which belong to sixteen genera were ...

Elevated temperature and nitrogen deposition did not affect the impacts of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on soil carbon or nitrogen stocks in atemperate meadow

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are key players in the soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles; on the one hand, AM fungi have been influenced by global changes, while on the other hand, they are involved in shaping the future climate.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alleviate elevated temperature and nitrogen deposition- induced warming potential by reducing soil N2O emissions in a temperate meadow

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the most important greenhouse gases and has the potential to aggravate global warming. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form mutualistic associations with most terrestrial plants, which can help plant nitrogen (N) uptake ...

Landscape-scale mapping of soil fungal distribution: proposing a new NGS-based approach

Scientific Reports, 2023
Soil fungi play an indispensable role in the functioning of terrestrial habitats. Most landscape-scale studies of soil fungal diversity try to identify the fungal taxa present at a study site and define the relationships between their abundance and ...

The biogeography of relative abundance of soil fungi versus bacteria in surface topsoil [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2022
Fungi and bacteria are the two dominant groups of soil microbial communities worldwide. By controlling the turnover of soil organic matter, these organisms directly regulate the cycling of carbon between the soil and the atmosphere.
