Dry-season leaf flushing of Enterolobium cyclocarpum (ear-pod tree): above- and belowground phenology and water relations
(2007-11)
Above- and belowground phenology and water relations of Enterolobium cyclocarpum Jacq. trees in the dry
forest of Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica were studied during two consecutive phenological cycles, from November ...
Variation of bacterial communities along the vertical gradient in Lake Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan
(2021-02-04)
We explored the diversity and community composition of bacteria along a vertical gradient in Lake Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan, one of the world's largest and deepest brackish lakes. We identified 4904 bacterial amplicon sequence ...
Transformation of humic substances by the freshwater Ascomycete Cladosporium sp.
(2017)
The ecological relevance of fungi in freshwater ecosystems is becoming increasingly evident, particularly in processing the extensive amounts of polymeric organic carbon such as cellulose, chitin, and humic substances (HS). ...
Phylogenetic Relationships of Rhizobia Based on Citrate Synthase Gene Sequences
(2004)
Partial nucleotide sequences of the citrate synthase (gltA) gene from different rhizobia genera were determined. Tree topologies based on this housekeeping gene were similar to that obtained using 16S rRNA sequences. However ...
Ecological and Public Health Effects of Microplastics Pollution
(2022-01)
Humans and ecosystems are constantly exposed to microplastics (MP). The magnitude of contamination, their ubiquity, and high persistence over time raise serious concerns about their effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and ...
Highly diverse fungal communities in carbon-rich aquifers of two contrasting lakes in Northeast Germany
(2019-10)
Fungi are an important component of microbial communities and are well known for their ability to decompose refractory, highly polymeric organic matter. In soils and aquatic systems, fungi play an important role in carbon ...
Temperature and elemental sulfur shape microbial communities in two extremely acidic aquatic volcanic environments
(2021)
Aquatic environments of volcanic origin provide an exceptional opportunity to study the adaptations of microbial communities to early planet life conditions such as high temperatures, high metal concentrations, and low pH. ...
Isolation of Fungi and Bacteria Associated with the Guts of Tropical Wood-Feeding Coleoptera and Determination of Their Lignocellulolytic Activities
(2015-08)
The guts of beetle larvae constitute a complex system where relationships among fungi, bacteria, and the insect host occur. In this study, we collected larvae of five families of wood-feeding Coleoptera in tropical forests ...
Fungal Communities in Sediments Along a Depth Gradient in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
(2020-11-06)
Deep waters represent the largest biome on Earth and the largest ecosystem of Costa Rica. Fungi play a fundamental role in global biogeochemical cycling in marine sediments, yet, they remain little explored. We studied ...
Inland Water Fungi in the Anthropocene: Current and Future Perspectives
(2022-06)
Fungi are increasingly gaining interest from aquatic microbial ecologists. The application of new molecular tools has revealed that they are a ubiquitous and highly diverse organismic group in aquatic environments with ...
