These starters are formed using a specific cultivation medium and a specific mix of fungal and bacterial strains.
The potential for biotechnology to improve crop populations through inoculation with modified fungal strains could reduce toxicity to livestock and improve yields of human-consumed foods.
Before determining if they match the Japanese fungal strain, the cultures will have to undergo further biochemical testing.
In one instance, a fungal strain previously identified as Arthrobotrys oligospora in a patient was "later re-identified as Cephaliophora irregularis."
All of them had a fungal strain brought originally from Gammer.
Trees are often dominated by a few fungal strains, but these fungi are not the same on all trees in nearby areas, and show considerable spatial variation.
The mushrooms produce spores that are wind dispersed, and through this method, new colonies acquire a fungal strain.
So new colonies inherit specific fungal strains.
Toxic cadmium ions removal by isolated fungal strain from e-waste recycling facility (Kumar et al., 2012)
The reason the leaf-cutters have stuck with their fungal strain is that the fungus can do what most fungi cannot: break down fresh leaves into usable nutrients.
