DOI: 10.1007/s11557-025-02037-8
Abstract: Following disturbances such as wildfires, oak seedlings must form a symbiotic association with mycorrhizal fungi to survive. Wildfires, however, reduce available mycorrhizal fungal propagules in the soil. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on oak seedlings sampled in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skae102.028
Abstract: Bison have a demonstrated ability to thrive on low-quality forage, an attribute that distinguishes them from their domestic ruminant counterparts. This could be attributed to the capability of their rumen symbiotic microorganisms in extracting more… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13040361
Abstract: Simple Summary Many insects host a diverse gut microbial community, ranging from pathogenic to obligate mutualistic organisms. Little is known about the bacteria associated with katydids. Gampsocleis gratiosa (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) is an economically important singing… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.3006
Abstract: DNA metabarcoding, the PCR-based profiling of natural communities, is becoming the method of choice for biodiversity monitoring because it circumvents some of the limitations inherent to traditional ecological surveys. However, potential sources of bias that… read more here.

Accuracy of microbial community diversity estimated by closed- and open-reference OTUs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.3889
Abstract: Next-generation sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA is widely used to survey microbial communities. Sequences are typically assigned to Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). Closed- and open-reference OTU assignment matches reads to a reference database at 97%… read more here.
