Elucidating symbiotic relationships between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants contributes to a better understanding of their reciprocally dependent coexistence and community assembly. However, the main drivers of plant and AMF community assembly remain unclear. In this study, we examined AMF communities from 166 root samples of 17 woody plant species from 10 quadrats in a Chinese su...

Abstract Lipid accumulating fungi are promising tools as alternative lipid source with different applications. In this study, seven oleaginous fungal strains were isolated from dung samples the Egyptian ecosystem which later investigated for accumulation, and Mucor racemosus AH1 represented highest one. Statistical optimization of M. production was carried out using Taguchi design. Accordingly,...

The main objects of this paper are the graded automorphisms of w x polytopal semigroup rings, i.e., semigroup rings k S where k is a field P Ž and S is the semigroup associated with a lattice polytope P Bruns, P w x. w x Gubeladze, and Trung BGT . The generators of k S correspond bijecP tively to the lattice points in P, and their relations are the binomials representing the affine dependencies...

Biodiversity drives ecological functioning, ultimately providing ecosystem services. Ecosystem processes are favored by greater functional diversity, particularly when groups of functionally different species interact synergistically. Many such functions performed insects, among which dung beetles stand out for their important role in decomposition. However, anthropogenic disturbances negativel...
