A wild type flagellated Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium outbreak strain, a mutant Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium strain, and a wild type avian disease-causing Salmonella enterica ser. Pullorum strain were exposed to a range of ionic strength (3-30 mM) groundwater with residual antibiotics for 6-24 hours. Exposed organisms’ pathogenicity was tested in vitro exposure to a human epithelial cell line (HEp2). Resistance profiles against 10 common antibiotics were also tested and compared to unexposed controls. Results show minor antibiotic resistance changes for S. enterica ser. Typhimurium strains in response to some antibiotic classes mediated with active efflux pumps. This trend was not observed for S. enterica ser. Pullorum, suggesting that resistance found in groundwater exposed organisms might be strain-dependent. In vitro epithelial cell invasion assays showed bacterial invasion of HEp2 cells initially decreases with time and increases after 24 hours. It is concluded that S. enterica serotypes reaching groundwater environments in the presence of residual antibiotics may exhibit increased levels of pathogenicity, strain-dependent resistance to antibiotics, and sustained levels of viability. Key words: Salmonella, antibiotic resistance, invasion, groundwater, pathogenicity. Özet: Bu çalışmada kalıntı miktarda antibiyotik içeren yeraltı sularına kısa süreli maruz bırakılan üç Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotipinin hastalık yapıcı özelliklerindeki değişiklikler ve hayatta kalabilme seviyeleri genel mikrobiyel fitnes çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Serotipler gerçek bir salgından izole edilen kamçılı doğal fenotip Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium, kamçısı fonksiyonel olmayan bir başka Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium suşu ve kuş türlerinde salgına yol açan doğal fenotip Salmonella enterica ser. Pullorum’dan oluşup, iyon şiddeti değişken (3-30 mM) ve kalıntı miktarda antibiyotik içeren yeraltı suyuna 6-24 saat sürecince maruz bırakılmıştır. Serotiplerin hastalık yapıcı özellikleri in vitro koşullarda HEp2 türü insan epitel hücre kültürleri kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Antibiyotik direnç seviyeleri ise yaygın kullanılan 10 antibitiyotiğe karşı disk difüzyon testi yardımıyla belirlenmiştir. Deneyler sonucunda S. enterica ser. Typhimurium suşlarında antibiyotik direnç seviyelerinde az miktarda artış gözlenirken S. enterica ser. Pullorum suşunda değişiklik gözlenmemiştir. In vitro deneylerde ise suşların HEp2 hücrelerini enfekte etmeleri zamanla önce azalmış, 24 saatlik dilim sonunda ise artmıştır. Sonuç olarak, kalıtsal antibiyotik içeren yeraltı sularına temas eden S. enterica serotiplerinin hastalık yapıcı karakterlerinin arttığı, antibiyotik direnç seviyelerinin suşa bağlı olarak değişkenlik gösterirken hayatta kalma oranlarının yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Introduction Salmonella is a robust zoonotic pathogen threatening sources of human and/or animal waste will likely reach both human and animal health significantly. Non- groundwater and create health related issues in individuals typhoidal Salmonella infections are increasing worldwide who are directly or indirectly exposed to the groundwater with at least nine to ten incidents reported

Gloeodontia discolor, Hydnochaete paucisetigera, and Thelephora dentosa are recorded for the first time for Mexican mycobiota, and Gloiothele lactescens is reported for a new location. Key words—Basidiomycota, clavarioid, corticioid, new records, taxonomy Introduction The 1260 ha of land known as Ejido Estero de Milpas (21°14′52″N 97°28′29″W) in the municipality of Tamiahua lies within the Tamiahua Lagoon region in northern Veracruz State, Mexico. The climate is tropical and the area is covered primarily by halophytic vegetation, cattle ranches, tall semi-evergreen forests, and an ecosystem in which tropical oaks are well represented, especially Quercus oleoides and Q. glaucescens (Registro Agrario Nacional 2016). Aphyllophoroid fungi are an unofficial basidiomycete assemblage representing such diverse fungi as corticioids, polypores, and clavarioids (Kunttu & al. 2014); they are widely distributed in temperate and tropical forests and play an important role in the degradation of organic matter.

In: Kahanpää J, Salmela J (Eds) Checklist of the Diptera of Finland. ZooKeys 441: 63–90. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.441.7461 Abstract A checklist of the family Chironomidae (Diptera) recorded from Finland is presented. Keywords Finland, Chironomidae, species list, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction There are supposedly at least 15 000 species of chironomid midges in the world (Armitage et al. 1995, but see Pape et al. 2011) making it the largest family among the aquatic insects. The European chironomid fauna consists of 1262 species (Sæther and Spies 2013). In Finland, 780 species can be found, of which 37 are still undescribed (Paasivirta 2012). The species checklist written by B. Lindeberg on 23.10.1979 (Hackman 1980) included 409 chironomid species. Twenty of those species have been removed from the checklist due to various reasons. The total number of species increased in the 1980s to 570, mainly due to the identification work by me and J. Tuiskunen (Bergman and Jansson 1983, Tuiskunen and Lindeberg 1986).

  • The Macrofungi Checklist of Liguria (Italy): the Current Status of Surveys
    Posted November 2008. Summary published in MYCOTAXON 105: 167–170. 2008. The macrofungi checklist of Liguria (Italy): the current status of surveys MIRCA ZOTTI1*, ALFREDO VIZZINI 2, MIDO TRAVERSO3, FABRIZIO BOCCARDO4, MARIO PAVARINO1 & MAURO GIORGIO MARIOTTI1 *[email protected] 1DIP.TE.RIS - Università di Genova - Polo Botanico “Hanbury”, Corso Dogali 1/M, I16136 Genova, Italy 2 MUT- Università di Torino, Dipartimento di Biologia Vegetale, Viale Mattioli 25, I10125 Torino, Italy 3Via San Marino 111/16, I16127 Genova, Italy 4Via F. Bettini 14/11, I16162 Genova, Italy Abstract— The paper is aimed at integrating and updating the first edition of the checklist of Ligurian macrofungi. Data are related to mycological researches carried out mainly in some holm-oak woods through last three years. The new taxa collected amount to 172: 15 of them belonging to Ascomycota and 157 to Basidiomycota. It should be highlighted that 12 taxa have been recorded for the first time in Italy and many species are considered rare or infrequent. Each taxa reported consists of the following items: Latin name, author, habitat, height, and the WGS-84 Global Position System (GPS) coordinates. This work, together with the original Ligurian checklist, represents a contribution to the national checklist. Key words—mycological flora, new reports Introduction Liguria represents a very interesting region from a mycological point of view: macrofungi, directly and not directly correlated to vegetation, are frequent, abundant and quite well distributed among the species. This topic is faced and discussed in Zotti & Orsino (2001). Observations prove an high level of fungal biodiversity (sometimes called “mycodiversity”) since Liguria, though covering only about 2% of the Italian territory, shows more than 36 % of all the species recorded in Italy.

  • The Phylogeny of Plant and Animal Pathogens in the Ascomycota
    Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology (2001) 59, 165±187 doi:10.1006/pmpp.2001.0355, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on MINI-REVIEW The phylogeny of plant and animal pathogens in the Ascomycota MARY L. BERBEE* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada (Accepted for publication August 2001) What makes a fungus pathogenic? In this review, phylogenetic inference is used to speculate on the evolution of plant and animal pathogens in the fungal Phylum Ascomycota. A phylogeny is presented using 297 18S ribosomal DNA sequences from GenBank and it is shown that most known plant pathogens are concentrated in four classes in the Ascomycota. Animal pathogens are also concentrated, but in two ascomycete classes that contain few, if any, plant pathogens. Rather than appearing as a constant character of a class, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals was gained and lost repeatedly. The genes that code for some traits involved in pathogenicity or virulence have been cloned and characterized, and so the evolutionary relationships of a few of the genes for enzymes and toxins known to play roles in diseases were explored. In general, these genes are too narrowly distributed and too recent in origin to explain the broad patterns of origin of pathogens. Co-evolution could potentially be part of an explanation for phylogenetic patterns of pathogenesis. Robust phylogenies not only of the fungi, but also of host plants and animals are becoming available, allowing for critical analysis of the nature of co-evolutionary warfare. Host animals, particularly human hosts have had little obvious eect on fungal evolution and most cases of fungal disease in humans appear to represent an evolutionary dead end for the fungus.

  • The Effect of Decayed Or Downed Wood on the Structure and Function of Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Communities at a High Elevation Forest
    The effect of decayed or downed wood on the structure and function of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities at a high elevation forest by Jennifer Karen Marie Walker B.Sc., The University of Northern British Columbia, 2003 M.Sc., The University of Northern British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The College of Graduate Studies (Biology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) March 2012 !Jennifer Karen Marie Walker, 2012 Abstract Shifts in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community composition occur after clearcut logging, resulting in the loss of forest-associated fungi and potential ecosystem function. Coarse woody debris (CWD) includes downed wood generated during logging; decayed downed wood is a remnant of the original forest, and important habitat for ECM fungi. Over the medium term, while logs remain hard, it is not known if they influence ECM fungal habitat. I tested for effects of downed wood on ECM fungal communities by examining ECM roots and fungal hyphae of 10-yr-old saplings in CWD retention and removal plots in a subalpine ecosystem. I then tested whether downed and decayed wood provided ECM fungal habitat by planting nonmycorrhizal spruce seedlings in decayed wood, downed wood, and mineral soil microsites in the clearcuts and adjacent forest plots, and harvested them 1 and 2 years later. I tested for differences in the community structure of ECM root tips (Sanger sequencing) among all plots and microsites, and of ECM fungal hyphae (pyrosequencing) in forest microsites. I assayed the activities of eight extracellular enzymes in order to compare community function related to nutrient acquisition.
