1. 6. 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

3. 7. Pollen identification using sequencing techniques

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Bimaljeet Kaur; [2022]
   Keywords : pollen; rbcL gene; barcoding; metabarcoding; Sanger sequencing; MinION sequencing;

   Abstract : Palynology or the study of pollen, is essential understand the relationship between plants and their pollinators. Traditionally, pollen grains are identified by microscopy. The method has several shortcomings, such as being time-consuming and having low taxonomic resolution. READ MORE

4. 8. Can hunter’s local ecological knowledge be used in management of multi-ungulate systems? : a combination of local ecological knowledge and scientific knowledge to add a finer resolution to current management strategies

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Author : Sandra Pettersson; [2021]
   Keywords : local ecological knowledge; LEK; scientific knowledge; SK; wildlife management; ungulate management; multi-ungulate systems;

   Abstract : Management and conservation of wildlife populations are generally based on scientific knowledge (SK) and monitoring to establish reliable information. The information gathered and presented from SK is interpreted by individuals who can have different ways of interpreting the same type of information. READ MORE

5. 9. Impact of vegetation mycorrhizal type on fungal community composition in arctic tundra

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Leah Kirchhoff; [2021]
   Keywords : arctic climate change; shrubification; fungal metabarcoding; ectomycorrhiza; ericoid mycorrhiza;

   Abstract : on the effects of vegetation and associated changes on above and below-ground processes in tundra soils. In a sub-arctic alpine tundra heath, vegetation composition was manipulated by removing plant species with certain mycorrhizal associations. READ MORE

6. 10. Systematic comparison of the relative accuracy of vegetation surveys and soil DNA metabarcoding : Assessing plant biodiversity at different spatial scales

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Kimmo Kumpula; [2020]
   Keywords : DNA metabarcoding; biodiversity assessment; environmental DNA; high-throughput sequencing; subarctic;

   Abstract : Analysis of soil-derived DNA has been shown to minimize problems seen during traditional vegetation surveys, e.g. by matching the eDNA to a reference database for taxonomic identification rather than relying solely on taxonomic expertise. However, it has been debated to what extent and how accurately eDNA acts as a proxy for biodiversity. READ MORE
