Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities exposed with new DNA sequencing approach

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal systems play crucial roles in their environment, affecting the plants that can grow there and the nutrients in the soils. Researchers have developed a new DNA sequencing technique using barcoded primers that is capable of detecting rare fungal species in a community, paving the way for future insights into how they might vary in response to environmental changes.
