Isotopic Analysis of Sporocarp Protein and Structural Material Improves Resolution of Fungal Carbon Sources. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Microbiol, 2016
Fungal acquisition of resources is difficult to assess in the field. To determine whether fungi received carbon from recent plant photosynthate, litter or soil-derived organic (C:N bonded) nitrogen, we examined differences in δ13C among bulk tissue ...
