Microbiology is a difficult topic to teach given that the objects of study are mostly invisible learner. The majority university students beginning their training in biology more interested natural can be seen with naked eye. Nonetheless, micro-organisms key components biosphere and good microbiological background required for thorough sciences. Lectures still common teaching format universities. However, it passive learning no longer considered most adequate approach situations. Instead,...
Morchella helvetica, sp. nov. (Morchella sect. Distantes) is a new species of true morels discovered in Switzerland. It formally described the present study using an integrative approach based on micro- and macromorphological characteristics, multilocus phylogenetics, brief description its habitat. Molecular analyses clearly indicated that helvetica sister to M. eximioides, angusticeps, confusa. can be distinguished by two phylogenetic markers RNA polymerase II subunit 2 (RPB2) translation...
Members of the fungal genus Morchella are widely known for their important ecological roles and significant economic value. In this study, we used amplicon genome sequencing to characterize bacterial communities associated with sexual fruiting bodies from wild specimens, as well vegetative mycelium sclerotia obtained isolates grown in vitro . These investigations included diverse representatives both Elata Esculenta clades. Unique community compositions were observed across various...
Interactions between Morchella and other soil organisms have rarely been investigated. In this study, we investigated interactions Pseudomonas koreensis under predatory pressure of Acanthamoeba castellanii. Our main hypothesis was that P. would evade predation by hiding in hyphae. We tested first whether A. castellanii could feed on and/or evaluated the reciprocal impacts conducting qualitative (observations) quantitative (microbial growth) analyses. Amoebae bacteria but not Morchella, used...
Abstract Food fraud is a problematic yet common phenomenon in the food industry. It impacts numerous sectors, including market of edible mushrooms. Morel mushrooms are prized worldwide for their culinary and medicinal use. They represent taxonomically complex group which has already been reported. Among methods to evaluate fraud, some rely on comparisons genetic sequences obtained from sample existing databases. However, quality usefulness results limited by type comparison tool database...

Abstract True morels ( Morchella spp.) are a diverse fungal genus with more than 80 recognized species that show high continental endemism. The cultivation of Asian morel isolates in Europe is becoming common Switzerland and other European countries, however, the impact this may have on diversity native populations remains unknown. In order to address this, we sought establish an initial inventory across Switzerland. biodiversity was assessed through combination field collection multi-locus...
