  2. 1. Genomic Diversity and Evolution of Parasitism in Nematode-trapping Fungi

    Author : Dag Ahrén; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; nematode-trapping fungi; expressed sequence tags; functional genomics; bioinformatics; parasitism; Genomic diversity; Evolution; Ekologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms that have the ability to form infection structures, traps to capture nematodes. Many nematode species are parasites on plants and animals, which have resulted in an interest to use the nematode-trapping fungi as biological control agents. READ MORE

  4. 2. Priming of carbon and nitrogen mineralization in forest soils

    Author : Saeed Alaei; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soil organic matter; C:N imbalance; root exudates; priming; Extracellular enzymes; Soil organic matter; C:N imbalance; root exudates; priming; Extracellular enzymes;

    Abstract : Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) contributes significantly to the global carbon (C) cycle and climate feedbacks. SOM decomposition depends on soil microbial activities, and these activities are driven by the availability of C and other nutrients. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomass, community structure and phosphorus uptake of ectomycorrhizal fungi in response to phosphorus limitation and nitrogen deposition

    Author : Juan Pablo Almeida; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phosphorus and nitrogen limitation; nitrogen deposition; ectomycorrhizal fungi; community composition; apatite; Paxillus involutus; Phosphorus and nitrogen limitation; nitrogen deposition; ectomycorrhizal fungi; community composition; apatite; Paxillus involutus;

    Abstract : High levels of nitrogen (N) deposition might result in a transition from N to phosphorus (P) limitation in high latitude forests. Thiscould have fundamental consequences for forest production, nutrient acquisition and nutrient leaching. READ MORE

  6. 4. The influence of soil structure on microbial processes in microfluidic models

    Author : Carlos Arellano; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The way microbes behave in nature can vary widely depending on the spatial characteristics of the habitats they are located in. The spatial structure of the microbial environment can determine whether and to which extent processes such as organic matter degradation, and synergistic or antagonistic microbial processes occur.

  7. 5. Ectomycorrhizal fungi: Their role in nitrogen retention and carbon sequestration in northern coniferous forests

    Author : Adam Bahr; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ectomycorrhizal fungi; Carbon sequestration; Nitrogen deposition; Nitrogen leakage; Field survey; Boreo-nemoral forest; Boreal Forest; Ergosterol; Free ergosterol; Mesh-bags; Multivariate analysis;

    Abstract : Almost all northern forest tree species live in symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF). The trees allocate up to half of the photoassimilated carbon (C) through the roots to EMF. In return EMF deliver nutrients from both inorganic and organic sources in the soil, as well as water. READ MORE
