In the most recent scientific reports based on the DNA or RNA-analyses a widespread
presence of the filamentous fungi, Mortierella in various environments has been shown …

Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

Understanding the drivers of diversity is a fundamental question in ecology. Extensive
literature discusses different methods for describing diversity and documenting its effects on …

The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic
matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on …

Background High-throughput amplicon sequencing spanning conserved portions of
microbial genomes (16s rRNA and ITS) was used in the present study to describe the …

Producing electricity from renewable sources and reducing its consumption by buildings are
necessary to meet energy and climate change challenges. Wood is an excellent “green” …

In this review, we highlight the main insights that have been gathered from recent
developments using large-scale genomics of fungal saprotrophs and symbiotrophs …

Soil fungi are crucial microorganisms in the functioning of ecosystems. They shape the soil
properties, facilitate nutrient circulation, and assist with plant growth. However, their …

The postindustrial era is currently facing two ecological challenges. First, the rise in global
temperature, mostly caused by the accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere …

Soils support a myriad of organisms hosting highly diverse viromes. In this minireview, we
focus on viruses hosted by true fungi and oomycetes (members of Stamenopila …
