Scientists discuss in 'Ectomycorrhizal mycelial species composition in apatite amended and non-amended mesh bags buried in a phosphorus-poor spruce forest' new findings in life sciences. According to recent research published in the journal Mycological Research, "We studied the effect of apatite amendment on ectomycorrhizal (EM) mycelial biomass production and species composition in a phosphorus-poor spruce forest using sand-filled mesh bags. Control and apatite-amended bags were buried in pairs in the lower part of the organic horizon for one growth season."
"DNA extraction, PCR of the ITS region, cloning and random sequencing were used to examine the fungal ...
