Anaerobic digestion of organic residues has the potential to significantly contribute to a shift
from fossil to renewable energy. The by-product, anaerobic slurry, does have properties that …

Extracellular DNA (exDNA) is abundant in many habitats, including soil, sediments, oceans
and freshwater as well as the intercellular milieu of metazoa. For a long time, its origin has …

Since the advent of sequencing technologies, the determination of microbial diversity to
predict microbial functions, which are the major determinants of soil functions, has become a …

Biochar is known to enhance soil fertility and C sequestration, but relatively little information
is currently available about its effect on soil microbial community, a component of terrestrial …

The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) is revolutionizing the monitoring of biodiversity

The inhibitory effect of extracellular DNA (exDNA) on the growth of conspecific individuals
was demonstrated in different kingdoms. In plants, the inhibition has been observed on root …

Due to their sensitivity to changing environmental conditions sub-and alpine soils are often
monitored in the context of climate change, usually, however, neglecting slope exposure …

Deadwood decomposition is relevant in nature and wood inhabiting fungi (WIF) are its main
decomposers. However, climate influence on WIF community and their interactions with …

Environmental DNA, ie, DNA extracted directly from environmental samples, has been used
to understand microbial communities in the environment and to monitor contemporary …
