Genomic insights into the carbohydrate catabolism of Cairneyella variabilis gen. nov. sp. nov., the first reports from a genome of an ericoid mycorrhizal fungus from the southern hemisphere.

This paper describes a novel species of ericoid mycorrhizal fungus from Australia, Cairneyella variabilis, Midgley and Tran-Dinh, gen. nov. sp.

DNA mutation detection using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC).

DHPLC is an efficient method for candidate gene scanning with a high level of automation. Single-base substitutions and insertions or deletions of up to 1.5 kb in PCR amplified DNA fragments can be detected.

The EPAS1 gene influences the aerobic-anaerobic contribution in elite endurance athletes.

EPAS1 is a gene involved in complex oxygen sensing. It is expressed in microvascular endothelial cells, lung epithelial cells, cardiac myocytes and the brain. An association study was undertaken comparing elite endurance athletes classified into two groups according to a power-time model of performance intensity: power-time-maximum (PT-MAX; N=242, event duration 50 s to 10 min) and power-time-steady state (PT-SS; N=151, event duration ~2-10 h), with normal controls (N=444) using 12 SNPs across EPAS1.

Distribution of Amanita spp. genotypes under eastern Australian sclerophyll vegetation.

Basidiomes of Amanita alboverrucosa, A. ochrophylla, and A. pyramidifera were collected from native mixed sclerophyll forest sites and of A.

Utilisation of inorganic and organic nitrogen sources by Amanita species native to temperate eastern Australia.

The abilities of isolates of Amanita alboverrucosa, A. conicoverrucosa, A. fuscosquamosa, A.

Variation in nitrogen source utilisation by nine Amanita muscaria genotypes from Australian Pinus radiata plantations.

The abilities of nine genotypes of Amanita muscaria (L.:Fr) Pers. to utilise a range of inorganic and organic nitrogen sources for growth was examined in axenic liquid cultures.
