Diversity of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi on Dipterocarpaceae in Thailand

Diversity of Marine Fungi in Eastern Thailand

An investigation on the diversity of marine fungi was carried out by isolating fungi from twigs collected from several beaches in Chanthaburi, Rayong and Chon Buri provinces. Each fungus was directly isolated on half strength potato dextrose agar with 70% sea water. A total of 152 marine fungal isolates were found, comprising 26 genera and 31 species: Algialus parvus, Antennospora quadricornuta...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi in mineral soil

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are mutualistic symbionts of many forest trees and play a major role in nutrient uptake. They form diverse communities in boreal forest soils but functional differences within this group of fungi remain largely unknown. We study ectomycorrhzal fungi in mineral soil to determine how abiotic preferences influence their spatial distribution in stratified soil profiles. This i...

Effects of Fire on Ectomycorrhizal Fungi in Fennoscandian Boreal Forests

Fire, the primary natural disturbance factor in Fennoscandian boreal forests, is considered to have exerted major selection pressure on most boreal forest organisms. However, recent studies show that few ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi appear to have evolved post-fi re adaptations, no succession of EM fungi following fi re is apparent after low intensity fi res, and only two EM fungal taxa exclusive...
