The function of the ectomycorrhizal mutualism depends on the ability of the fungal symbionts
to take up nutrients (particularly nitrogen) available in inorganic and/or organic form in the …

To examine pathways of glutamate and glutamine metabolism in the ectomycorrhizal fungus
Paxillus involutus, tracer kinetic experiments were performed using l-[U-14C] glutamate and …

The white rot fungus Irpex lacteus is able to decolorize such synthetic dyes as Reactive
Orange 16 and Remazol Brilliant Blue R. Here, we demonstrate that this type of dye …

Proteins contribute to a major part of the organic nitrogen (N) in forest soils. This N is
mobilized and becomes available to trees as a result of the depolymerizing activities of …

Chemical composition of bleeding xylem sap collected during bud breaking was determined
in five woody species belonging to four families. Amino acids were quantified by HPLC …

Glutamine synthetase (GS) and NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH)
play a key role in nitrogen assimilation in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria laccata (Scop …

Constraints on plant growth imposed by low availability of nitrogen are a characteristic
feature of ecosystems dominated by ectomycorrhizal plants. Ectomycorrhizal fungi play a …

Urea, which is known to be a source of nitrogen for the growth of many organisms,
represents an important fertilizer in forest soils. Since most trees form symbiotic associations …

" Advanced Techniques in Soil Microbiology" presents a wide range of biotechnological
methods for application in soil microbiology analysis. These include all essential methods …

We developed a nondestructive method for detecting early toxic effects of inflethal copper
(Cu) concentrations on ectomycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal (NM) Scots pine (Pinus …
