  2. 6. Fungal communities of West African ectomycorrhizal woodlands

    Author : Brendan R. Furneaux; Martin Ryberg; Matthew Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ectomycorrhizal fungi; West Africa; metabarcoding; Sudanian woodlands; community ecology; ethnomycology; edible mushrooms; fungi; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Abstract : Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is a widespread mutualist relationship between fungi and plants, often trees. It is most well-known in temperate and boreal forests, but also occurs in a variety of tropical ecosystems, including Sudanian savanna woodlands and gallery forests in West Africa. READ MORE

  4. 7. Interactions between Bacteria and Fungi on Aquatic Detritus – Causes and Consequences

    Author : Cecilia Mille-Lindblom; Lars Tranvik; Helmut Fischer; Eric Chauvet; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; bacteria; fungi; decomposition; antagonism; extracellular enzymes; competition; macrophytes; dissolved organic carbon DOC ; ergosterol; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Bacteria and fungi dominate the decomposition of aquatic plants, a major process in the carbon and nutrient cycling in many aquatic systems. Although phylogenetically distant, bacteria and fungi often live in close proximity with each other. Since these microorganisms also have similar ecological functions, interactions have developed between them. READ MORE

  5. 8. Symbiosis in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi : Unearthing genomic signatures

    Author : Shadi Eshghi Sahraei; Anna Rosling; Vasilis Kokkoris; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; mutualistic symbiosis; soil microeukaryotic communities; phylogenomics; single spore assembly; gene family evolution; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been on earth since 470 million years ago. AM fungi form mutualistic symbiosis with most terrestrial plants and thus, are thought to have played important roles in land colonization together with plants. READ MORE

  6. 9. Genomics of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi : Expanding knowledge, one assembly at a time

    Author : Merce Montoliu-Nerin; Anna Rosling; Hanna Johannesson; Nicolas Corradi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; genomics; arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; phylogenomics; DNA; evolution; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : Most life forms that inhabit Earth today are still unknown or are difficult to study. Accessing their DNA can give us information of their biology, ecology, and evolution, even when unculturable. The research here presented focused on method development for genomic research of non-model organisms. READ MORE

  7. 10. Transcriptome Analyses of the Nematode-trapping Fungus Monacrosporium haptotylum

    Author : Margareta Tholander; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Pathogenic fungi; Nematophagous fungi; Nematodes; Biological control; cDNA microarray; Transcriptome analysis; Nematode-trapping fungi; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil living organisms with the ability to infect and kill nematodes. These fungi have developed specialized infection structures, traps for the capture of nematodes. To be able to identify genes in nematode-trapping fungi that are involved in the infection of nematodes cDNA microarrays were constructed. READ MORE
