Effect of Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Rhizophagus irregularis BGC AH01) on the Soil Bacterial Community Assembly

mycolabadmin

This study examined how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (a beneficial fungus that partners with plant roots) influence soil bacteria communities over time. Researchers grew maize plants with and without this fungus and tracked bacterial changes over 90 days. They found that the fungus creates a more stable and diverse bacterial community that reaches equilibrium around 60 days, helping improve nutrient availability for plant growth.

The Functional Role of Fungi and Bacteria in Sulfur Cycling During Kelp (Ecklonia Radiata) Degradation: Unconventional Use of PiCrust2

mycolabadmin

When kelp washes up on beaches, microscopic fungi and bacteria work together to break it down and recycle its nutrients back into the ocean. This study shows that fungi play a much bigger role in this process than previously thought, especially in cycling sulfur compounds that affect climate. By understanding these microbial partnerships, scientists can better predict how coastal ecosystems respond to changes in seaweed production.

The Expanding Truffle Environment: A Study of the Microbial Dynamics in the Old Productive Site and the New Tuber magnatum Picco Habitat

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how microorganisms change in soil as truffle forests expand into new areas in Italy. They found that young, expanding truffle areas had more diverse microbial communities compared to established productive forests. The study showed that forest management practices, like selectively removing vegetation to help truffle-associated trees grow, significantly influence which fungi and bacteria thrive in the soil. This research provides insights into how to better protect and expand natural white truffle habitats.
