Tuber species may be regarded as complex microhabitats hosting diverse microorganisms
inside their fruiting bodies. Here, we investigated the structure of microbial communities …

Truffle growers devote great efforts to improve black truffle productivity, developing
agronomic practices such as 'truffle nests'(peat amendments that are supplemented with …

Strain selected from mine tailings in Anshan for Pb bioremediation was characterized at the
genetic level by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing. Results revealed that the …

Sequence-based surveys of microorganisms in varied environments have found extremely
diverse assemblages. A standard practice in current high-throughput sequence (HTS) …

Decomposition of animal bodies in the burial environment plays a key role in the
biochemistry of the soil, altering the balance of the local microbial populations present …

Recent advances in molecular biological methods have drastically changed our
understanding of the diversity, phylogeny, ecology, and evolution of fungi. The purpose of …

The roots of most terrestrial plants are colonized by mycorrhizal fungi. They play a key role in
terrestrial environments influencing soil structure and ecosystem functionality. Around them …

Truffles are hypogeous ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi belonging to the genus Tuber. Although
outplanting of truffle-inoculated host plants has enabled the realization of productive …

Interspecific interactions play an important role in community assembly. A basic ecological
question is whether interactions are specialized (one to one) or generalized (many to many) …

The study analyzed fungal diversity in soil trapped behind dams in three arid regions of
Oman, in the south-eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Physicochemical analysis …
