Sentences with phrase «bilaii hyphae»

Organic matter does this either by «gluing» soil particles together or creating favorable living conditions for soil microorganisms, which in turn can «glue» soil particles together through production of various organic compounds such as glomalin or by the action of fungal hyphae (Sylvia et al., 2005).

The fungi live in plant roots where they elongate their tendrils (called hypha) into the surrounding soil, like an extension of the root system, to better access and transfer nutrients to the plant.

The researchers found that the long branching fungal filaments (or hyphae) became biomineralized and / or enveloped by minerals in various formations.

Those ants that were left where O. unilateralis directed them grew normal, healthy hyphae (fungal threads) within several days, but those that had been moved never did.

Scientists aren't sure why Pd lights up under UV light, but they think that once Pd filaments, called hyphae, penetrate the bat's skin, those hyphae secrete substances that eat away at the living tissue and also happen to fluoresce under UV light.

Not only were the walls of the tunnels littered with hyphae, the equivalent of fungal roots, but they also were covered with a cementing mineral.

Specialized threads (hyphae, pink), called conidiophores, end in bunches of spores (conidia, yellow), the fungal reproductive units.

The fungi send out long microscopic threads called hyphae that create a subterranean network enabling plants to exchange nutrients.

By extension, it designates the entire fungus producing the fruiting body of such appearance, the former consisting of a network (called the mycelium) of filaments or hyphae.

«In the fine liquid film surrounding the hyphae, bacteria can move with much greater speed and direction and cover more distance than in soil water without hyphae,» says Tom Berthold, first author of the study and a doctoral researcher at the UFZ Department of Environmental Microbiology.

Wick continues: «Our study shows that fungal hyphae not only provide soil bacteria with an excellent infrastructure, but also a potential hot spot for bacterial horizontal gene transfer.

The fungal network (mycelium) also provides bacteria with an excellent infrastructure: there may be hundreds of metres of fungal hyphae winding through just one gram of soil.

In a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports, UFZ researchers have been able to demonstrate that these so - called fungal hyphae also form a hot spot for gene transfer between bacteria.

In their research, the UFZ scientists were also able to show that much greater gene transfer takes place between bacteria on the fungal highway than in a moist environment without fungal hyphae.

When colonising a plant, the beneficial fungus blooms within individual plant cells, growing thin tendrils called hyphae that extend into surrounding soil and pump minerals and nutrients straight into the heart of plant cells.

An Armillaria individual consists of a network of hyphae, he explains.

Microscopic image showing the spores and hyphae of «friendly» arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus interacting with a plant root.

Seed fill in seeds stored in the sediment seed bank at CLG declined from 100 % (prior to burial) rapidly to c. 20 % after 6 months (Fig. 4), with high levels of fungal attack (abundant hyphae were observed) resulting in many seeds rotting during burial.

The metabolically active hyphae have secreted droplets on their surfaces.

Techniques A novel baiting microcosm approach used to identify the bacterial community associated with Penicillium bilaii hyphae in soil — Behnoushsadat Ghodsalavi — PLoS One

In addition to extending the root system, fungal hyphae are often much smaller in diameter than roots, which allows them to access nutrients and water in smaller soil pores.

Nutrients are often quickly depleted in areas directly around plant roots and the fungal hyphae are able to grow out beyond low nutrient zones into places where more nutrients are available.

It is these hyphae that are know to penetrate the walls of the small intestine and are known to contribute to an increase in intestinal permeability (leaky gut syndrome).

(Hyphae are branching filaments that extend out from the cells of candida albicans and other fungi and can penetrate tissues in the body).

They discovered that yeast cells were ruptured and even died due to the damage inflicted by cloves, but even better news was that they discovered that cloves almost entirely prevented the production of hyphae by candida albicans.

Several supplements have been shown to either prevent conversion to the hyphae form or convert it back to its yeast form, rendering it no longer pathogenic.

Candida exists in two forms: the normal yeast spheres and an elongated pathogenic hyphae form.
