Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that degradation of biodiversity in human populated areas is a threat for the ecosystem processes are relevant well-being. Fungi megadiverse kingdom plays key role and affects How urbanization influences fungi has remained poorly understood, partially due to methodological difficulties comprehensively surveying fungi. Here we show both aerial soil fungal communities greatly poorer urban than natural areas. Strikingly, fivefold reduction DNA abundance...
Abstract The reliable taxonomic identification of organisms through DNA sequence data requires a well parameterized library curated reference sequences. However, it is estimated that just 15% described animal species are represented in public repositories. To begin to address this deficiency, we provide barcodes for 1,500,003 specimens collected from 23 terrestrial and aquatic ecozones at sites across Canada, nation comprises 7% the planet’s land surface. In total, 14 phyla, 43 classes, 163...
Abstract Unravelling how species communities change along environmental gradients requires a dual understanding: the direct responses of to their abiotic surroundings and indirect variation these through biotic interactions. Here, we focus on interactive relationships between plants symbiotic root‐associated fungi (RAF) stressful gradients. We investigate whether variations in RAF community composition altitudinal influence plant growth at high altitudes, where both face harsher conditions....
Abstract Purpose The implementation of electron beam radiation coupled with the use probiotics is one newest food processing technologies that may be used to ensure safety and improve shelf life products. purpose this study was evaluate effect 50–150-Gy irradiation on antimicrobial activity putative probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus Vahe. Methods Low-dose lactobacilli cells performed using Advanced Research Electron Accelerator Laboratory’s accelerator, agar well diffusion method...

Abstract Harmful algal blooms have important implications for the health, functioning and services of aquatic ecosystems. Our ability to detect monitor these events is often challenged by lack rapid cost-effective methods identify bloom-forming organisms their potential toxin production, Here, we developed applied a combination DNA barcoding Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) assessment phytoplankton community composition with focus on two indicators ecosystem health: toxigenic cyanobacteria...
