Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands [email protected] Abstract. – Although critical for the functioning of ecosystems, fungi are poorly known in high- latitude regions. This paper summarizes the results of the first genetic diversity assessments of Russula and Lactarius, two of the most diverse and abundant fungal genera in Alaska. LSU rDNA sequences from both curated sporocarp collections and soil PCR clone libraries sampled in various types of boreal forests of Alaska were subjected to phylogenetic and statistical ecological analyses. Our diversity assessments suggest that the genus Russula and Lactarius are highly diverse in Alaska. Some of these taxa were identified to known species, while others either matched unidentified sequences in reference databases or belonged to novel, previously unsequenced groups. Taxa in both genera showed strong habitat preference to one of the two major forest types in the sampled regions (black spruce forests and birch-aspen-white spruce forests), as supported by statistical tests. Our results demonstrate high diversity and strong ecological partitioning in two important ectomycorrhizal genera within a relatively small geographic region, but with implications to the expansive boreal forests.

Cultivars of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flüggé) are widely used for pasture in the Southeastern USA. Soil microbial communities are unexplored in bahiagrass and they may be cultivar-dependent, as previously proven for other grass species. Understanding the influence of cultivar selection on soil microbial communities is crucial as microbiome taxa have repeatedly been shown to be directly linked to plant performance. Objectives. This study aimed to determine whether different bahiagrass cultivars interactively influence soil bacterial and fungal communities. Methods. Six bahiagrass cultivars (`Argentine', `Pensacola', `Sand Mountain', `Tifton 9', `TifQuik', and `UF-Riata') were grown in a randomized complete block design with four replicate plots of 4.6 × 1.8 m per cultivar in a Rhodic Kandiudults soil in Northwest Florida, USA. Three soil subsamples per replicate plot were randomly collected. Soil DNA was extracted and bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA and fungal ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 genes were amplified and sequenced with one Illumina Miseq Nano. Results. The soil bacterial and fungal community across bahiagrass cultivars showed similarities with communities recovered from other grassland ecosystems. Few dif- ferences in community composition and diversity of soil bacteria among cultivars were detected; none were detected for soil fungi.

  • Fungal Endophytes in Australian Myco-Heterotrophic Orchids
    Fungal Endophytes in Australian Myco-heterotrophic Orchids J.D.W. Dearnaley Centre for Systems Biology, The University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Australia Summary The fungal endophytes of Australian myco-heterotrophic orchids are largely unknown. In this investigation we identified the fungal endophytes of three species of Australian myco-heterotrophic orchid: the terrestrial species Dipodium variegatum and Dipodium hamiltonianum and the vine-like Erythrorchis cassythoides. Similar to studies of myco-heterotrophic orchids in Nth America and Europe the fungal endophytes of Dipodium spp. are members of the Russulaceae. E. cassythoides contained both ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi suggesting that it can derive its carbon via fungi from both dead and living plant material. Introduction All orchids rely on fungi for seed germination and early growth. A number of orchid species are non-photosynthetic and are termed myco-heterotrophic because of their complete dependence on fungi throughout their life cycle. Molecular identification studies of fungal endophytes of myco-heterotrophic orchids have shown that these plants are colonized by higher basidiomycetes such as members of the Russulaceae and Thelophoraceae (Taylor and Bruns 1997, 1999, Girlanda et al. 2006) as well as members of the heterobasidomycete family Sebacinaceae (Selosse et al. 2002, Taylor et al. 2003). As these fungal groups contain ectomycorrhizal species it appears that myco-heterotrophic orchids are indirectly parasitic on the tree host partner of ectomycorrhizal partnerships. Evidence supporting this comes from McKendrick et al. (2000) who have shown that radiolabelled carbon can flow from tree to myco-hetero- trophic orchid via a fungal conduit, additionally, many myco-heterotrophic ©2006 by MEDIMOND S.r.l.
