Variability in Nutrient Use by Orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi in Two Medium Types [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) from the rhizoctonia aggregate are generally considered to be soil saprotrophs, but their ability to utilize various nutrient sources has been studied in a limited number of isolates cultivated predominantly in liquid media,

Phylogenetic and Microsatellite Markers for Tulasnella (Tulasnellaceae) Mycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Australian Orchids [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2013 Premise of the study: Phylogenetic and microsatellite markers were developed for Tulasnella mycorrhizal fungi to investigate fungal species identity and diversity. These markers will be useful in future studies investigating the phylogenetic relationship

Strong primer bias for Tulasnellaceae fungi in metabarcoding: Specific primers improve the characterization of the mycorrhizal communities of epiphytic orchids. [PDF]
Mycoscience, 2021 Primer bias toward Tulasnellaceae fungi during PCR is a known issue with metabarcoding analyses for the assessment of orchid mycorrhizal communities. However, this bias had not been evaluated for the fungal communities of epiphytic orchids, which account for 69% of all orchid species diversity. We compared the mycorrhizal communities detected using two

Epidendrumradicans Fungal Community during Ex Situ Germination and Isolation of Germination-Enhancing Fungi [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Orchids exhibit varying specificities to fungi in different microbial environments. This pilot study investigated the preference of fungal recruitment during symbiotic germination of Epidendrum radicans Pav. ex Lindl. Two different orchid substrates were

Extracellular Enzyme Activities and Carbon/Nitrogen Utilization in Mycorrhizal Fungi Isolated From Epiphytic and Terrestrial Orchids [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Fungi employ extracellular enzymes to initiate the degradation of organic macromolecules into smaller units and to acquire the nutrients for their growth. As such, these enzymes represent important functional components in terrestrial ecosystems.

Diversity of Mycorrhizal Fungi in Temperate Orchid Species: Comparison of Culture-Dependent and Culture-Independent Methods [PDF]
Journal of FungiMany orchid species are endangered due to anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction and overharvesting, meanwhile, all orchids rely on orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) for seed germination and seedling growth. Therefore, a better understanding of

Preventing Extinction of the Critically Endangered Dactylorhiza incarnata subsp. ochroleuca in Britain Using Symbiotic Seedlings for Reintroduction [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 The yellow early marsh-orchid (Dactylorhiza incarnata subsp. ochroleuca) is critically endangered in the UK. Reintroduction of this threatened orchid to former haunts that have been restored is a long-term objective of this study. Identifying germination-

Spatiotemporal dynamics and functional characteristics of the composition of the main fungal taxa in the root microhabitat of Calanthe sieboldii (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Endophytic fungi play a critical ecological role in the growth and development of orchids, but little is known about the spatial and temporal dynamics of fungal diversity or the ecological functions of fungi during orchid growth and ...
