In a recent study pyrosequencing of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer-1 (ITS-1) has
validated the effectiveness of such technology in the survey of soil fungal diversity. Here we …

Truffles are hypogeous Ascomycete fungi belonging to the genus Tuber and forming fruiting
bodies highly prized for their taste and aroma. The identification of the genus Tuber and its …

The fruiting bodies of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus Tuber melanosporum are usually
collected in an area devoid of vegetation which is defined as a'burnt area'(brulé in French) …

Truffles are hypogeous ectomycorrhizal fungi. They belong to the genus Tuber and are
currently considered a hot spot in fungal biology due to their ecological and economic …

We know relatively little of the distribution of microbial communities generally. Significant
work has examined a range of bacterial communities, but the distribution of microbial …

Variation within the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the intergenic spacer (IGS) of the
ribosomal RNA genes of European species of Tuber was examined by polymerase chain …

The shorter reads generated by high-throughput sequencing has led to a focus on either the
ITS1 or the ITS2 sublocus in fungal diversity analyses. Our study aimed to determine how …

Truffles are hypogeous fungi which live in symbiosis with plant host roots in order to
accomplish their life cycle. Some species, such as Tuber magnatum Pico, the 'white truffle' …

Species-specific primers selected from the internal transcribed spacer region sequence
were used to set up a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) able to simultaneously …

The alignment of the 28S gene of several species of Pezizales allowed to select two pairs of
primers able to amplify the internal transcribed spacer region of ribosomal DNA in …
