  1. 1. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysing Raman spectra of crystalline cellulose degradation by fungi using artificial neural networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Sebastian Hutteri; [2019]
    Keywords : Raman spectroscopy; artificial neural networks; saprotrophic fungi; cellulose; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the use of artificial neural networks for classifying Raman spectra of partially degraded cellulose samples by fungal species. A multilayer perceptron configuration of 4 hidden layers and 128 hidden nodes was able to classify a set of 60 samples with an overall prediction accuracy of 0.55. READ MORE

  4. 3. Autumn water sources for understory vegetation and fungi in a boreal forest : an evaluation using stable isotopes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Javier Segura; [2013]
    Keywords : Ericaceous shrubs; fungi; Pinus sylvestris; rain event; soil profile; water stable isotopes;

    Abstract : Understory vegetation and fungi are regarded as important ecological drivers of processes like productivity and nutrient cycling in boreal forests. Whilst those processes are linked to soil water content, relatively little is known about the sources of soil water for these forest components. READ MORE

  5. 4. Stjälkröksvamp (Tulostoma brumale) : stora eller små individer?

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

    Author : Michael Krikorev; [2009]
    Keywords : fungi; population biology; genotype;

    Abstract : The spatial population structure of the saprotrophic basidiomycete Tulostoma brumale was investigated at a site in south eastern Sweden. Sporocarps were mapped and collected, and somatic incompatibility tests between mycelial cultures cultivated from the sporocarps were used to identify genets. READ MORE
