Soil microclimate is a potentially important regulator of the composition plant-associated fungal communities in climates with significant drought periods. Here, we investigated spatio-temporal dynamics soil Mediterranean Pinus pinaster forest relation to moisture and temperature. Fungal 336 samples collected monthly over 1 year from 28 long-term experimental plots were assessed by PacBio sequencing ITS2 amplicons. Total biomass was estimated analysing ergosterol. Community changes analysed...
Summary Thirty‐four fungal species isolated from cork oak ( Quercus suber ) in Catalonia (NE Spain) during 1992–95 were tested for pathogenicity either stem, leaf or root inoculations. Eleven found to be pathogenic on stem: Biscogniauxia mediterranea , Botryosphaeria stevensii Diatrype cf. stigma Endothia gyrosa Fusarium solani Graphium sp., Ophiostoma quercus Phomopsis Phytophthora cinnamomi Sporendocladia bactrospora and an unidentified Coelomycete. Three fungi showed effects leaves:...
Summary In the M editerranean region, patches of vegetation recovering from disturbance and transiently dominated by shrubs produce one world's most prized fungi, black truffle ( T uber melanosporum ). these successional plant communities, we have fragmentary knowledge distribution . in space among ectomycorrhizal ECM ) host species time. Molecular identification hosts (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) fungi (Internal Transcribed Spacer sequencing) quantification mycelium...
Summary Botryosphaeria canker of cork oak ( Quercus suber L.), caused by corticola , is a well‐known factor contributing to the decline this forest species and serious disease in main cork‐producing countries Western Mediterranean basin. In work, fungicides with potential for controlling were selected using combination vitro tests field trials. Fourteen different chemical families tested evaluate their effect on inhibition mycelial growth. The most effective benomyl, carbendazim, cyprodinil...
In recent years, food ingredients rich in bioactive compounds have emerged as candidates to prevent excess adiposity and other metabolic complications characteristic of obesity, such low-grade inflammation oxidative status. Among them, fungi gained popularity for their high polysaccharide content components with beneficial activities. Here, we use the C. elegans model investigate potential activities a Grifola frondosa extract (GE), together underlying mechanisms action. Our study revealed...
Waste management of brewery by-products is economically and environmentally problematic. In the frame bio-recycling, this study aims to investigate bioconversion by filamentous fungi. Pleurotus ostreatus Lentinula edodes were grown on different substrates based brewer’s spent grains (fresh dry). Afterwards, fatty acids sterols determined. Following selection suitable substrate composition for fungal growth, results showed that biomasses varied significantly as a function strain....
