When plants break up: Understanding cooperative relationships between soil microbes

https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-07-07-understanding-cooperative-relationships-between-soil-microbes-botany.html

July 07, 2018 -

According to a study, even though plants can cooperate, there are also times when these cooperative relationships break down.

Gijsbert Werner, Postdoctoral Fellow, and Stuart West, Professor of Evolutionary Biology, both in the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford, explained that plants have various "below-ground interactions with beneficial soil microbes."

In fact, one of the most crucial partnerships is an interaction between plant roots and arbuscular ...

Conservationists looking at fungi to restore native plant populations

https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-08-27-conservationists-looking-at-fungi-to-restore-native-plant-populations.html

August 27, 2018 -

Tanya Cheeke, assistant professor of biology at WSU Tri-Cities, leads a team of graduate and undergraduate students in preserving native plant populations by transplanting fungi. Her research involves the use of mycorrhizal fungi to reinvigorate soil that has been overrun with invasive plant species, such as weeds.

Mycorrhiza refers to the association between plant roots and fungi. This relationship is symbiotic in nature and benefits both parties greatly. Mycorrhizal ...

Restoring soil biodiversity: Researchers find that letting the land rest between seasons increases microorganism activity, increases carbon uptake into the soil

https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-03-08-restoring-soil-biodiversity-letting-the-land-rest-between-seasons.html

March 08, 2019 - arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which are known to be involved in establishing symbiosis with plant roots.

After analyzing the 13C, researchers found that there was an increase in carbon uptake in the soil right alongside the strengthening of community connections among soil organisms. Plants that were left in long-standing fallow soil were found to have less photosynthesis-derived carbon in their roots, while the majority of the marked carbon went to so-called consumers ...

Say hello to my little friend: Trees have developed a symbiotic relationship with fungi to survive drought stress

August 22, 2018 -

This was the goal of the study conducted by an international consortium led by Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA) and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) who sequenced the genome of the root symbiont Cenococcum geophilum (a common fungus found in forest ecosystems) and how it changed its expressions when stressed by drought conditions. The scientists specifically chose this symbiotic fungus because it is both abundant and ...

Researchers study fungi to turn food waste into sustainable bioplastic

March 23, 2019 -

The university is considered a national leader in fungi, and its researchers have been studying the potential of thread-forming fungus for many years. In fact, they have an entire team of researchers devoted to finding new ways to solve the problem of food waste.

The subject of one doctoral thesis at the school by Pedro F. Souza Filho showcased an interesting approach to using four common types of food waste that are normally discarded from the production of foods like ...

Are fungi set to become a new source of antibiotics?

January 18, 2019 -

For their study, the group of researchers analyzed and scanned the genomes of 24 different kinds of fungi. Their goal was to find genes that were in charge of producing bioactive compounds, similar to antibiotics. They discovered 1,300 pathways that, more than anything, showcased fungi as viable suppliers of natural and bioactive chemicals — chemicals that could be important to the production of existing and new pharmaceuticals. The researchers were even able to identify new ...

Coffee plants grow better without chemicals; healthy soil has microbes and fungi that nourish plants and act as biofertilizers

https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-06-12-coffee-plants-grow-better-without-chemicals-healthy-soil-has-microbes-and-fungi-that-nourish-plants-and-act-as-biofertilizers.html

June 12, 2018 -

The researchers identified two particular groups of fungi that are commonly found in the soil and show promise as natural fertilizers for crop growth.

The first group are called arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), symbiotic fungi from the phylum Glomeromycota. Their spores start in the soil but eventually become part of the roots of many vascular plants, where they absorb nutrients from the soil and give it to their hosts in exchange for carbon.

The second group are the ...

STUDY: Face masks are teeming with disease-causing bacteria and fungi

https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-08-02-face-masks-teeming-disease-causing-bacteria-study.html

August 02, 2022 -

It turns out that face masks are petri dishes for pathogens to fester and multiply, whether they be the Fauci Flu, the common cold, or a fungal infection. If it causes illness, it will find a home in the mesh of a face mask, the study found.

"Since masks can be a direct source of infection to the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and skin, it is crucial to maintain their hygiene to prevent bacterial and fungal infections that can exacerbate COVID-19," the authors gently ...

Cordyceps: A strange fungi packed with a lot of health benefits

September 24, 2019 -

Take the Cordyceps genus, for example. Scientists have dubbed these mushrooms “zombie fungi” on account of their ability to control their host with sinister precision. In recent times, however, some species belonging to this genus of parasitic fungi have gained popularity, thanks to studies that highlight their potential health benefits. A review led by researchers from Taiwan -- where Cordyceps mushrooms have long been used in traditional medicine -- looked at the state ...

Space cooties: Should astronauts be worried about fungi on space stations?

September 23, 2019 -

Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of these microorganisms. The study urged other researchers to investigate the possibility of fungal infections in astronauts with compromised immune systems.

A team from Ghent University evaluated the existing pool of knowledge about mycotoxins, the chemical compounds produced by fungi that might make humans sick. They tried to determine if any of these applied to the species and strains that make it ...
