Although sclerotia are known as the resting bodies of fungi, the exact biochemical properties
of melanized sclerotia that allow them to remain in the soil and retain their structure are …

Melanized fungal sclerotia grains were collected from Dark Kastanozem soils in steppe
forest, northern Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (Terelji and Sanzai). Their elemental composition …

Aluminium toxicity may increase under low soil pH, and an increase in arsenic concentration
in the soil may inhibit inorganic P uptake and influence fungal growth. This study …

Lichens and free-living fungi are known to exhibit three metal uptake mechanisms:(1) an
extracellular uptake via an ion exchange process,(2) intracellular accumulation, and (3) …

We measured growth of the terrestrial moss Pseudoscleropodium purum during several well
defined periods (monthly and quarterly between January 2008 and December 2009) at …

Sclerotium grains in soil contain humus‐metal complexes that are probably produced from
fungal metabolites. The characterization of major elements in sclerotium grains collected …

In a series of laboratory experiments employing radiotracer methodology, the uptake of Cd,
Cr, and Zn by Sphagnum papillosum Lindle moss from solutions of deionized water and …

The relationship between trace metal concentrations in Pseudoscleropodium purum (Hedw.)
M. Fleish. and bulk deposition (BD) was examined at 21 sites (SS) to ascertain whether the …

Sclerotia are the resting bodies of fungi. The exact biochemical properties of melanized
sclerotia that allow them to remain in the soil and retain their structure are unclear …

Accumulation of lead in the crustose lichen Acarospora smaragdula sensu lato is reported in
the vicinity of an ore-processing plant where it is subjected to acidification and metal …
