China has experienced a widespread increase in N deposition due to intensive
anthropogenic activities, particularly in the subtropical regions. However, the effects of long …

Current metabarcoding studies aiming to characterize microbial communities generally rely
on the amplification and sequencing of relatively short DNA regions. For fungi, the internal …

While the environment is considered the primary origin of the plant microbiome, the potential
role of seeds as a source of transmitting microorganisms has not received much attention …

An incubation study with four contrasting soils (Vertosol, Ferrosol, Calcarosol and Tenosol)
and three biochars (oil mallee [OM-], wheat chaff [W-]) and poultry litter [PL-] all produced at …

Endophytic microorganisms are an important source of bioactive secondary metabolites. In
this study, fungal endophytes obtained from A* STAR's Natural Product Library (NPL) and …

Although the number of studies investigating mycorrhizal associations in orchids has
increased in recent years, the fungal communities associating with orchids and how they …

Much interest has been brought to microbial pigments owing to their broad-spectrum of
industrial applications coupled with their safe and eco-friendly characteristics. Soil fungi …

The aim of this study was to isolate fungi able to produce pigments. Fifty strains were
isolated from the Amazon soil by the conventional technique of serial dilution. Submerged …

Large-scale studies that examine the responses of ectomycorrhizal fungi across
biogeographic gradients are necessary to assess their role in mediating current and …

Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass in nature, and the effective biorefining of them
is dependent upon enzymes with high catalytic activity and stability in extreme pH and high …
