During an investigation of fungi from an elm tree infested with bark beetles in Korea, one isolate, DUCC401, was isolated from elm wood and identified as Mariannaea samuelsii, which demonstrated the capacity to degrade cellobiose, starch, and xylan.
Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer 1 Based Characterization of Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) Strains
The results suggest that IGS1 could be complementarily applied in the polymorphism analysis of button mushroom, and confirmed that genetic variations exist, not only among the four domestic strains, but also between theFour domestic strains and foreign strains.
