micro and macroorganisms with high and varying functional diversity as well as great …

By ecologically interacting with various biotic and abiotic agents acting in soil ecosystems,
highly diverse soil microorganisms establish complex and stable assemblages and survive …

Despite the fact that heterotrophic nitrification was identified more than 100 years ago, the
biochemistry of heterotrophic nitrifiers is poorly known and their contribution to nitrification in …

Medicinal plants (MPs) are important resources widely used in the treatment and prevention
of diseases and have attracted much attention owing to their significant antiviral, anti …

Anthropogenic nitrogen inputs lead to a high ammonium (NH4+)/nitrate (NO3−) ratio in the
soil, which restricts hyphal spreading of soil fungi. Access of symbiotic fungi to roots is a …

Opportunistic infections by environmental fungi are a growing clinical problem, driven by an
increasing population of people with immunocompromising conditions. Spores of the …

The growth in microscopy adoption has led to a concomitant upsurge in the development of
software tools for the automated analysis of image data. Pillars among these tools are …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous plant root symbionts, which can house
two endobacteria: Ca. Moeniiplasma glomeromycotorum (Ca Mg) and Ca. Glomeribacter …

Microbial life in soil is fueled by dissolved organic matter (DOM) that leaches from the litter
layer. It is well known that decomposer communities adapt to the available litter source, but it …

The first genome sequenced of a eukaryotic organism was for Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
as reported in 1996, but it was more than 10 years before any of the zygomycete fungi …
