Cercozoa are abundant free-living soil protozoa and quantitatively important in food webs; yet, targeted high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has not yet been applied to this group. Here we describe the development of a assay explore using HTS, apply measure Cercozoan community response drought Danish climate manipulation experiment (two sites exposed artificial drought, two unexposed). Based on comparison hypervariable regions 18S ribosomal DNA 193 named Cercozoa, concluded that V4 region is...
Rapid sand filtration is essential at most waterworks that treat anaerobic groundwater. Often the depends on microbiological processes, but microbial communities of filters are largely unknown. We determined prokaryotic community structures 11 receiving groundwater from different geological settings by 16S rRNA gene-based 454 pyrosequencing and explored their relationships to technology raw water chemistry. Most variation in diversity observed between could be explained geochemistry inlet...
Summary The root‐associated habit has evolved on numerous occasions in different fungal lineages, suggesting a strong evolutionary pressure for saprotrophic fungi to switch symbiotic associations with plants. Species within the ubiquitous, genus Mycena are frequently major components molecular studies of communities, that an evaluation their trophic status is warranted. Here, we report interactions between range species and plant Betula pendula . In all, 17 were inoculated onto B. seedlings....
Traditional strict separation of fungi into ecological niches as mutualist, parasite or saprotroph is increasingly called question. Sequences assumed saprotrophs have been amplified from plant root interiors, and several saprotrophic genera can invade interact with host plants in laboratory growth experiments. However, it uncertain if invasion by a widespread phenomenon interactions mirror field conditions. Here, we focused on the speciose genus Mycena performed (1) systematic survey their...
Background Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is a common syndrome in men. NGU may have several causes, but many cases are caused by sexually transmitted infections that also cause complications their female partners. Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium the most causes of NGU, up to 35% cases, none known viral or bacterial found. Traditionally, pathogens been detected using various culture techniques not identify all species present urethra. To address this, we used...
The development of diagnostic metagenomics is driven by the need for universal, culture-independent methods detection and characterization pathogens to substitute time-consuming, organism-specific, often culture-based laboratory procedures epidemiological source-tracing. Some challenges in are, that it requires a great next-generation sequencing depth unautomated data analysis. DNA from human fecal samples spiked with 7.75 × 101−7.75 107 colony forming unit (CFU)/ml Campylobacter jejuni...
Mycena s.s. is a ubiquitous mushroom genus whose members degrade multiple dead plant substrates and opportunistically invade living roots. Having sequenced the nuclear genomes of 24 species, we find them to defy expected patterns for fungi based on both their traditionally perceived saprotrophic ecology substrate specializations. displayed massive genome expansions overall affecting all gene families, driven by novel family emergence, duplications, enlarged secretomes encoding polysaccharide...
BAM (2,6-dichlorobenzamide) is a metabolite of the pesticide dichlobenil. Naturally occurring bacteria that can utilize are rare. Often compound cannot be degraded before it reaches groundwater and therefore poses serious threat to drinking water supplies. The bacterial strain Aminobacter MSH1 degrader potential candidate amended sand filters in waterworks remediate polluted water. A common problem bioremediation artificially introduced into new diverse environments often thrive poorly,...
As groundwater-fed waterworks clean their raw inlet water with sand filters, a variety of pro- and eukaryotic microbial communities develop on these filters. While several studies have targeted the prokaryotic filter communities, little is known about despite obvious need for knowledge microorganisms that get in contact human drinking water. With new general primer set (18S, V1-V3 region), we performed FLX-454 sequencing material from 21 waterworks' filters varying age (3-40 years)...
Summary Recently, several saprotrophic genera have been found to invade/interact with plant roots in laboratory growth experiments, and this coincides reports of abundant fungal sequences roots. However, it is uncertain if reflects field phenomena, on coincidentally amplified saprotrophs are simply coincidental. We investigated root invasion by presumed fungi focusing the large genus Mycena 1) a systematic analysis occurrence new previously published ITS1/ITS2 datasets generated from 10...
Besides the beneficial plant-fungus symbiosis in mycorrhizal plants, bacteria also enhance plant fitness via tripartite interactions. While bacterial associations are presumably just as important for obligate family Orchidaceae, little is known about orchid associating (OAB).We examined OAB communities of two, congeneric, terrestrial orchids, Platanthera cooperi and praeclara, which represent widely disparate North American ecosystems. We tested whether they recruit distinct communities,...
Abstract Members of the fungal genus Armillaria are necrotrophic pathogens with efficient plant biomass-degrading strategies. The includes some largest terrestrial organisms on Earth, spreading underground and causing tremendous losses in diverse ecosystems. Despite their global importance, mechanism by which evolved pathogenicity a clade dominantly non-pathogenic wood-degraders (Agaricales) remains elusive. Here, using new genomic data, we show that species, addition to widespread gene...
According to news media all over the world, COVID-19 virus is showcasing gendered leadership transparently everyone: Male leaders exemplified by Donald Trump and Boris Johnson represent a laid-back, macho-"we are not afraid" attitude failed act, whereas female such as Jacinda Ardern applied extensive government measures. Or did they? This study examines whether nations with heads of have more measures combat than countries led men. Using Oxford Government Response Tracker data set, we find...
