چکیده
The reviewer appreciate the additional experiment done by the authors about DNA extraction efficiency. However, the efficiency reported in the response seems to be recovery efficiency of DNA associated purification and elution steps, and not efficiency of DNA extraction from fungal cells. In this case, the authors had to spike fungal spores, not naked fungal DNA or PCR amplicons, as an external control. Usually, 70

Statistical monitoring of dust phenomenon in Khuzestan province with hourly approach
Dust is referred to sediments of less than 100 microns in size which are transmitted as suspended particles. Dust storms are events which naturally occur in arid and semi-arid areas, especially in subtropical latitudes. One of the most known sources of dust is the west of Asia, including Arabian Peninsula, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, especially Khuzestan Province. The purpose of this study is to inv...
متن کاملDiversity and Abundance of Arbuscular-Mycorrhizal Fungus Spores in Tropical Forest and Pasture’
As Neotropical forests are increasingly converted to agriculture (especially pastures), little is known about the impacts on microbial biodiversity. To assess such impacts, I compared spore abundance and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in soils from lowland evergreen forests and pastures in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Species composition, dominance-diversity curves, and Simpson’s ...
متن کاملInvestigation of seasonal changes in the density and diversity pattern of fungal populations in the air around processing facilities of the composting plant
Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of seasonal variation on the diversity of fungal airborne species in the composting process. Materials and Methods: Samples were taken based on the 0800 NIOSH method at a height of 1.5 m above the ground during the waste separation, turning of windrow and stabilization of compost. Air samples were collected in two va...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of air quality index and assessment
Different methods have been designed to calculate the air quality index in form of mathematical formula. But the formula designed by Central Pollution Control Board in 2014 is more robust to find out the air quality category. The index has been calculated based upon four parameters like particulate matters (PM10, PM2.5), sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide. The study area has affected by different ...
متن کاملSeasonal Study of Dust Deposition and Fine Particles (PM 2.5) in Iran Using MERRA-2 Data
The research results indicated that wet and dry dust deposition is a function of geographical characteristics. The seasonal wet and dry dust deposition and Fine Particles (PM 2.5) correlation in Iran with elevation, latitude and longitude results that the maximum correlation belongs to height, followed by latitude and longitude; meanwhile height and latitude are strongly and reversely correlate...
