The Evaluation of the Endophytic Mycobiome of Magnolia grandiflora
All plants are both externally and internally occupied by an assorted microbial community. This colonized community is part of the plant’s microbiome and consists of bacteria, protists and fungi. Asymptomatic microbes occupying internal tissues of plants are called endophytes. Fungal endophytes are …

Impact of the mycobiome on the health of the female genital tract
… The fungal constituent of the microbiome (the mycobiome) has been demonstrated to play a role in regulating mucosal health, especially when the bacterial component is disturbed. However, we have a limited understanding of the vaginal mycobiome since many microbiome studies have focused on …

Where the Spores at? Insights into the Residential Indoor Mycobiome of South Africa
… conditions and other factors likely shape indoor mycobiomes unlike western fungal communities. To address the lack of regional data, Chapter 2 addressed this gap through a ten-year (2014-2024) evaluation of airborne fungi in n = 192 residences in two South African provinces with distinct climatic …

MYCOBIOME ANALYSIS OF TREES SELECTED BY BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES (Poecile atricapillus) AS NEST SITES
<p>Decay fungi may aid primary cavity excavators, such as woodpeckers, in nest excavation by softening wood, and in turn the excavators disperse fungi. Recent molecular techniques have allowed researchers to examine communities of fungi present in environmental samples more comprehensively than …

Manipulating the root mycobiome to improve plant performance and reduce pathogen pressure in corn (Zea mays)
… and abiotic factors. Manipulating crop root mycobiomes could potentially increase yield by reducing pathogen impacts and improving access to soil water and nutrients. This study aimed to identify different fungal inoculation treatments that could increase the growth of corn seedlings sown in …

The relationship between dominant forest mycorrhizal type and the belowground mycobiome of the sugar maple and eastern hemlock
Climate change is imposing significant pressures on forest ecosystems, with many tree species projected to migrate towards the poles in response to changing temperature and precipitation regimes. Those who do not migrate will have to contend with these altered regimes, as well as changing …

Antifungal Immune Responses and Inflammation in the Cystic Fibrosis Airways
… aimed to obtain an insight into the airway mycobiome of people with CF, as well as getting a broader understanding of the host-fungal interactions. This was done by assessing the immune and inflammatory responses to a range of fungal pathogens by immune cells and epithelial cells. My studies …

Machine learning and data analytics for liver disease modeling
… of high-resolution gut microbiome and mycobiome data. We performed one of the most comprehensive shotgun metagenomic and mycobiomic analyses in PSC to date and identified profound dysbiosis and a functional deficiency in microbial bile acid deconjugation. By incorporating these …

Development of knowledge base and methodology for the rational microbiome modulation in irritable bowel syndrome
… the non-bacterial components of the microbiome (mycobiome and virome) to further understand their potential roles in IBS progression. An integrative, inter-kingdom analysis of the microbiome was also conducted to explore the differences in inter-kingdom interactions in IBS as well as comparison …

Molecular Analysis of Phenotypic Diversity in Human Fungal Pathogens
Fungal pathogens are a leading cause of human mortality, in part due to their ability to thwart therapeutic regimens by rapidly evolving resistance to antifungal drugs, and their ability to readily adapt to the hostile conditions experienced in a mammalian host. Candida species can colonize various …

Microbiome associated with Ulva lacinulata and seawater in an integrated abalone (Haliotis midae)–Ulva system with partial recirculation
… microbiome and the UNITE database for the mycobiome. The summarised taxonomic abundance was assessed using MicrobiomeAnalyst. The Qiagen QIAamp DNA Micro kit and QIIME2 bioinformatic pipeline exhibited the best overall performance out of the DNA extraction kits and bioinformatic pipelines …
