Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis between some plant species and a diverse group of
soil fungi. Mycorrhizal symbiosis is categorized into discrete types based on the structural …

Studies of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in forest soils are usually restricted to the
uppermost organic horizons. Boreal forest podzols are highly stratified and little is known …

The internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and ITS2) of ribosomal DNA from Alternaria
species, including seven fungi known to produce host-specific toxins, were analyzed by …

Real-time quantitative PCR assays were developed for the absolute quantification of
different groups of bacteria in pure cultures and in environmental samples. 16S rRNA genes …

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of wildfires on ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal
communities in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) stands. Below‐and above‐ground communities …

Interspecific and intraspecific variation in the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of
rDNA of ectomycorrhizal fungi of 44 species in 17 genera were examined using the …

Enzymatic activity of potential interest in wine-making was studied for 182 non-
Saccharomyces yeasts isolated from musts before and at the onset of fermentation at wine …

Swedish foresters are placing increasing reliance in burning of forestland and green tree
retention, in order to enhance biodiversity in the Swedish boreal forests. However, much …

The price of different truffle types varies according to their culinary value, sometimes by more
than a factor of 10. Nonprofessionals can hardly distinguish visually the species within the …
