  1. 6. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
    Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

  3. 7. Fungal pigmentation responses to microclimatic variables in isolated forest patches in Northern Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Karl Soler Kinnerbäck; [2023]
    Keywords : fungal ecology; mycology; functional traits; communities; pigmentation; CIELAB; lightness; microclimate; polypores;

    Abstract : Investigating functional traits is an important tool for understanding fungal communities, yet ecological functions of fungal pigmentation remain poorly investigated. Recent studies support the thermal-melanism hypothesis for fungal color lightness in relation to macroclimate, but it remains unclear if microclimate also affects fungal pigmentation. READ MORE

  4. 8. Beyond the Bubbles : a Study of Fungal Diversity and Gushing in Beer Production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Alexander Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fusarium Head Blight; Fungal communities; Metabarcoding; Amplicon sequencing Malting barley; Gushing; Pink kernels; Random forests;

    Abstract : Gushing, violent and spontaneous over-foaming of beer, is a well-known quality reducing phenomenon encountered in the brewing industry. The present study investigated the impact of fungal contamination in barley grains, specifically focusing on gushing and the occurrence of pink kernels. READ MORE

  5. 9. Endophytic fungi in living trees - are communities affected more by tree species, tree age, or geographic origin?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lisen Källman; [2022-08-16]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous in living vascular plants and have been identified in most terrestrial environments. The endophytes may have various ecological roles such as commensals, symbionts and latent invaders. READ MORE

  6. 10. The effect of various nutrient media on the captured diversity of culturable seed endophytes in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Kinga Stolarek; [2022]
    Keywords : fungal endophytes; seeds-associated fungi; Fagus sylvatica L; nutrient media; tree pathogens;

    Abstract : The associations of fungal endophytes with trees are poorly understood, especially within tree seeds. Recent molecular studies show that tree seeds harbour highly diverse fungal communities, including potential plant pathogens that could be introduced to new areas when seeds are exchanged. READ MORE
