Mushrooms, which are a common type of fungi, can often be found growing in fields and forests alongside decaying tree trunks and weeds. There are over one hundred thousand species of fungi that live on animal or plant waste within the soil. By using GC-MS, the chemical content of A. bisporus. We found 55 compounds were identified as a major compound: phenol (42.65%), Glucitol (24.26%) and Urea (20.14%) as a major compound, followed by Octadecadienoic acid ethyl ester (16.12%), linoleic acid (8.25%), Hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester (4.56%), Hydroxy acetic acid (4.32%), oleic acid (4.22%) and Acetic acid phenyl ester (3.88%). We found that the bacteria (gram-positive) were responded effect of Aquatic and methanolic extracts more than other (gram-negative). The Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera were more sensitive rather than other microbial isolates against mushroom extracts. Meanwhile, Klebsiella spp was most resistant rather than other microbial. The methanolic extract has the most antioxidant effects (57.05%) compared with aquatic extract (37.17%). These results were revealed due to their importance. - Evolutionary Relationship and the Sequence Similarities among Different Fungal Species Infecting Birds Captured from Different Areas in Denmark

Fungal diseases are the common cause of death in wild animals and birds of prey. This study was designed to investigate the development of fungal infections among wild birds in Denmark. In this study, fungal samples were isolated from such sources as Barn swallows' feathers, White stork, and birds of prey. The fungal species were isolated by direct culture of feathers on SD Agar with chloramphenicol and incubated at 28±2ºC. The fungal genomic DNA was isolated from each species, PCR reaction was performed, and the resulting fragments of the 18S rRNA DNA were sequenced and used for identification. A comparison between the resulting fragments was made to find out the percentage of similarity among the different fungal species. The multiple sequence alignment showed percentages of similarities ranging from 39% to 99%. To sum up, the 18S rRNA DNA sequence has been evolved dramatically even within the same species, while still conserved in others. It is a useful tool to be used for the identification of fungal species as it reduces time. Moreover, according to the results, there were no comprehensive high homology percentages among the species infecting the same bird. - Retraction: Recapture probability, flight morphology, and microorganisms (Current Zoology DOI: 10.1093/cz/zox030)

Microorganisms on and within organisms are ubiquitous and interactions with their hosts range from mutualistic over commensal, to pathogenic. We hypothesized that microorganisms might affect the ability of barn swallows Hirundo rustica to escape from potential predators, with positive associations between the abundance of microorganisms and escape ability implying mutualistic effects, while negative associations would imply antagonistic effects. We quantified escape behavior as the ability to avoid capture in a mist net and hence as a small number of recaptures. Because recapture probability may also depend on timing of reproduction and reproductive success, we also tested whether the association between recapture and microorganisms was mediated by an association between recapture and life history. We found intermediate to strong positive relationships between recapture probability and abundance of Bacillus megaterium, but not abundance of other bacteria or fungi. The abundance of B. megaterium was associated with an advance in laying date and an increase in reproductive success. However, these effects were independent of the number of recaptures. This interpretation is supported by the fact that there was no direct correlation between laying date and reproductive success on one hand and the number of recaptures on the other. These findings have implications not only for predator–prey interactions, but also for capture-mark-recapture analyses of vital rates such as survival and dispersal. - The role of earthworm powder in increasing growth of some fungi

Current Zoology, 2021
Many organisms are characterized by strikingly contrasting black and white coloration, but the function of such contrasts has been inadequately studied. In this article, we tested the function of black and white contrasting plumage in white stork Ciconia ciconia chicks. We found greater abundance and diversity of microorganisms on black compared with adjacent white feathers. In addition, nest size was positively correlated with the abundance and diversity of microorganisms on white feathers. Flight initiation distance (FID), defined as the distance at which adult white storks took flight when approached by a human, was negatively correlated with most measurements of microorganism abundance. Breeding success was generally positively correlated with the abundance and diversity of microorganisms on black feathers. The feather growth rate was positively correlated with some and negatively correlated with other measurements of microbial abundance and diversity. Finally, chick growth was negatively correlated with the number of microbial species on black feathers and positively with the abundance and diversity of microorganisms on white feathers. These findings are consistent not only with the role of microorganisms in the maintenance of a benign microbial environment which differs between black and white feathers, but also with the hypothesis that several taxa of microorganisms found in black and white plumage are virulent, with negative effects on the fitness of their hosts. - Arrival date and microorganisms in barn swallows

Migration between breeding sites and winter quarters constitute a major life history strategy in birds. The benefits of such migrations must at least equal the costs for such behavior to evolve and be maintained. We tested whether there was a relationship between abundance and diversity of microorganisms on nest lining feathers and timing of arrival by barn swallows Hirundo rustica . Nest lining feathers are chosen and transported by adult barn swallows to their nests just before and during egg laying, at a time when barn swallows have arrived weeks earlier, implying that any heterogeneity in abundance and diversity of microorganisms on feathers in nests must arise from feather preferences. There was a negative relationship between arrival date and the total number of fledglings showing that early arrival is advantageous. The arrival date of adult barn swallows was significantly positively correlated with the abundance of specific bacteria ( Bacillus licheniformis ) and positively correlated with the abundance of the fungus Trichoderma reesei and negatively correlated with the abundance of the fungus Mucor circinelloides . Moreover, we found a significant positive relationship between arrival date and mean total number of bacterial colonies in TSA medium. There was a significant negative relationship between arrival date and mean total number of bacterial colonies in FMA medium, and Simpson's diversity index of the abundance of bacteria in FMA medium. Such heterogeneity may arise from some microorganisms being beneficial, others detrimental and yet others benign and of no significant importance. In contrast, there was no significant relationship between arrival date and age of individuals. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that early arriving barn swallows differ in abundance and diversity of microorganisms from late arriving conspecifics, and that they choose feathers for their nests that differ in terms of microorganisms from those chosen by late arrival individuals. - Recapture probability, flight morphology, and microorganisms

Predation is a powerful selective force with important effects on behavior, morphology, life history, and evolution of prey. Parasites may change body condition, health status, and ability to escape from or defend prey against predators. Once a prey individual has been detected, it can rely on a diversity of means of escape from the pursuit by the predator. Here we tested whether prey of a common raptor differed in terms of fungi from nonprey recorded at the same sites using the goshawk Accipiter gentilis and its avian prey as a model system. We found a positive association between the probability of falling prey to the raptor and the presence and the abundance of fungi. Birds with a specific composition of the community of fungi had higher probability of falling prey to a goshawk than individual hosts with fewer fungi. These findings imply that fungi may play a significant role in predator–prey interactions. The probability of having damaged feathers increased with the number of fungal colonies, and in particular the abundance of Myceliophthora verrucos and Schizophyllum sp. was positively related to the probability of having damaged feathers. In addition, we found a significant correlation between the rate of feather growth of goshawk prey with birds with more fungi being more likely to be depredated. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that survival and feather quality of birds are related to abundance and diversity of fungi.
