Application of Manure Rather Than Plant-Origin Organic Fertilizers Alters the Fungal Community in Continuous Cropping Tobacco Soil by Yan Su, Yan Su, Haiyun Zi, Xiaomeng Wei, Binbin Hu, Xiaopeng Deng, Yi Chen, Yonglei Jiang

“…Notably, FUNGuild annotation suggested that while other treatments showed no significant effect on the fungal trophic modes, CFM strongly increased the abundance of saprotrophic fungi by more than 30% (P &lt; 0.05), thus preventing the prevalence of potential pathotypes and symbionts. …”

Diversity of microbial, biocontrol agents and nematode abundance on a susceptible Prunus rootstock under a Meloidogyne root gradient infection by Ilenia Clavero-Camacho, Ilenia Clavero-Camacho, Alba N. Ruiz-Cuenca, Alba N. Ruiz-Cuenca, Carolina Cantalapiedra-Navarrete, Pablo Castillo, Juan E. Palomares-Rius

“…The diversity and composition of the microbial communities were more affected by the sample type (soil vs rhizosphere) and by the geographical location of the samples than by the Meloidogyne density, which could be explained by the vigorous hybrid rootstock GF-677 and a possible dilution effect. However, the saprotrophic function in the functional guilds of the fungal ASV was increased in the highly infected roots vs the low infected roots. …”

Silver Nanoparticles as a New Generation of Antimicrobial Prophylaxis by Ilnur T. Garipov, Renat R. Khaydarov, Olga U. Gapurova, Rashid A. Khaydarov, M. Lutfi Firdaus, Irina L. Efimova, Svetlana Yu. Evgrafova

“…Minimum inhibitory concentration tests quantitatively showed that Ag nanoparticles were less efficient than Ag+ ions against representatives of gram-positive / gram-negative bacteria and cosmopolitan saprotrophic fungi. Antifungal/antibacterial effects against Aspergillus niger, Penicillium phoeniceum, and Staphylococcus aureus were confirmed for nanosilver concentrations of even 1 μg/cm2 on the surface of cotton fabric and 0.8 μg/cm2 in water-soluble paint. …”

Assessment of presence and distribution of Armillaria and Heterobasidion root rot fungi in the forest of Vallombrosa (Apennines Mountains, Italy) after severe windstorm damage by Dálya LB, Capretti P, Ghelardini L, Jankovský L

“…At sites where A. cepistipes was found to coexist with A. gallica, these two species might specialize themselves to necrotrophic and saprotrophic lifestyle, respectively. Besides, there were unexpected findings of A. mellea, supposed to be a residual from the previous rotation of broadleaves.…”

Fungal Community, Not Substrate Quality, Drives Soil Microbial Function in Northeastern U.S. Temperate Forests by Amelia A. Fitch, Ashley K. Lang, Emily D. Whalen, Kevin Geyer, Kevin Geyer, Caitlin Hicks Pries

“…EcM-associated tree species also have leaf litter with relatively higher ratios of carbon to nitrogen (C:N), and belowground saprotrophic communities more dominated by fungi. Consequently, free-living microbes in EcM-dominated soils should experience nitrogen limitation, with subsequent increases in enzyme production and decreased carbon use efficiency (CUE). …”

Effects of mutualistic and pathogenic soil mycobiota on forest ecosystem functioning: herbaceous phytometer growth on natural and sterilised soils by Norbertas Noreika, Meelis Pärtel, Maarja Öpik

“…We used environmental DNA to evaluate the diversity and relative abundance of the following fungal guilds: arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM), ectomycorrhizal (ECM), pathogenic, and saprotrophic fungi. Phytometer (Hordeum vulgare) was grown under controlled greenhouse conditions for three weeks on differently treated (natural, sterilised, inoculated) soils from all sites.Phytometer growth did not differ among treatments. …”

Post-termination Effects of Cover Crop Monocultures and Mixtures on Soil Inorganic Nitrogen and Microbial Communities on Two Organic Farms in Illinois by Eleanor E. Lucadamo, Ashley A. Holmes, Sam E. Wortman, Sam E. Wortman, Anthony C. Yannarell

“…Key members of these correlated groups included ammonia-oxidizing organisms and saprotrophic fungi. Our results suggest that cover crops may reduce the potential for springtime nitrogen leaching losses by retaining nitrogen in the soil organic pool, and they may also have impacts on the soil microbial community that are particularly relevant for nitrogen cycling and decomposition of plant residues.…”

The Effects of Drainage on the Soil Fungal Community in Freshwater Wetlands by Qingqing Zhao, Junhong Bai, Jia Jia, Guangliang Zhang, Jianing Wang, Yongchao Gao

“…Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes, and Cephalothecaceae were the dominant fungal phylum, class, and family, respectively, in 0–5 and 5–10 cm soils of both FW and DFW, representing as high as 76.17, 58.22, and 45.21% of the fungal community in 5–10 FW soils, respectively. Saprotrophic fungi predominated in both FW and DFW. Drainage altered both the fungal community structure and some edaphic factors. …”

Archaeorhizomycetes Spatial Distribution in Soils Along Wide Elevational and Environmental Gradients Reveal Co-abundance Patterns With Other Fungal Saprobes and Potential Weatherin... by Eric Alejandro Pinto-Figueroa, Eric Alejandro Pinto-Figueroa, Emily Seddon, Erika Yashiro, Erika Yashiro, Aline Buri, Hélène Niculita-Hirzel, Jan Roelof van der Meer, Antoine Guisan, Antoine Guisan

“…Furthermore, a network inference topology described significant co-abundance patterns between Archaeorhizomycetes and other saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal fungal taxa. Overall, our results provide strong support to the hypothesis that Archaeorhizomycetes in this area have clear ecological requirements along wide, elevation-driven abiotic and biotic gradients. …”
