Culturable fungi associated with wood decay of Picea abies in subalpine forest soils: a field-mesocosm case study

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2018
Fungi are the principal wood decomposers in forest ecosystems and their activity provides wood necromass to other living organisms. However, the wood decay mechanisms and the associated microbial community are largely unknown, especially in Alpine areas.

Hunting as anthropogenic sink of biomass or source of carrion? A brief case study based on German hunting bags

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dead biomass is a crucial nutrient source for ecosystems. Although hunting residues can subsidize numerous scavenging organisms and are known to drive important zoogeochemical processes at very different scales in the ecosystem, this has received little attention.

Data from: Wood-inhabiting insects can function as targeted vectors for decomposer fungi

open access: yes, 2017
Most wood-inhabiting fungi are assumed to be dispersed primarily by wind, with the exception of a few species involved in mutualistic relationships with insects.

Characterization of the dynamic microbiome evolution across thrips species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Comprehensive survey of the microbiome in thrips. The dominant bacterial genera found in thrips include intracellular ones, such as Wolbachia and Spiroplasma, and extracellular ones, including Serratia, Pantoea, and Acinetobacter. We isolated and sequenced high‐quality genomes of two dominant symbionts, Pantoea dispersa and Serratia marcescens.

A novel method of illustrating microfungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Composite line drawings in most cases can represent the morphological characters of a fungus better than digital photographic images. Even so, the use of line drawings for illustrating microfungi in published literature has declined.

New records of corticioid fungi from Sicily [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2016
This paper is the result of an on-going study on distribution and ecology of corticioid wood-inhabiting fungi in Sicily. Twenty-five species not previously recorded in Sicily are here listed.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Decay Fungi from New Zealand Leaky Buildings: Isolation, Identification and Preservative Resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Leaky buildings are those that show elevated moisture contents of the framing timber, which can subsequently lead to the establishment of fungal and bacterial decay.

Characterisation of wood-inhabiting xylotrophic fungi. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The main aim of this work is to isolate and characterise wood-inhabiting xylotrophyc fungi found in Neris and Verkiai regional parks based on their morphological, biochemical and genetic traits.

Isolation and characterisation of melanin pigment from mycelial cultures of Xylaria polymorpha (Ascomycota)

open access: yesUkrainian Botanical Journal
Melanin is a heterogenic polymer of phenolic or indolic nature, possessing a broad spectrum of biological activities including radio- and photoprotective, antioxidant, chemoprotective, antiviral, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and immunostimulating activity ...
