The human body is home to a complex and diverse microbial ecosystem that plays a central
role in host health. This includes a diversity of fungal species that is collectively referred to …

Many microorganisms in the environment participate in the fermentation process of Chinese
liquor. However, it is unknown to what extent the environmental microbiota influences …

The gut microbiome plays an important role in bee health and disease. But it can be
disrupted by pesticides and in-hive chemicals, putting honey bee health in danger. We used …

Abstract Background and Aims: Gut microbiota is involved in many physiological functions
and its imbalance is associated with several diseases, particularly with inflammatory bowel …

Trees interact with a multitude of microbes through their roots and root symbionts such as
mycorrhizal fungi and root endophytes. Here, we explore the role of fungal root symbionts as …

Ultra-high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of fungal communities has been restricted by short
read lengths and primer amplification bias, slowing the adoption of newer sequencing …

Increasing wildfire severity, which is common throughout the western United States, can
have deleterious effects on plant regeneration and large impacts on carbon (C) and nitrogen …

Boreal forests harbour diverse fungal communities with decisive roles in decomposition and
plant nutrition. Although changes in boreal plant communities along gradients in soil acidity …

Recent discussion focuses on the best method for delineating microbial taxa, based on
either exact sequence variants (ESVs) or traditional operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of …

Forestry reshapes ecosystems with respect to tree age structure, soil properties and
vegetation composition. These changes are likely to be paralleled by shifts in microbial …
