Further work: 1st harvest expected to take place either end of november or mid march (pending decision) Clare Trinder will use the field site for litter bag experiments
III. Fungal community structure analysis by DGGE of ribosomal 18S and/or ITS sequences
CVA of fungal ITS DGGE patterns per country, grouped by site. Figures show Finland (A); Scotland (B); France Russey (C) and Switzerland (D).
III. Fungal community structure analysis Clone library from DNA-derived ITS fragments has been prepared now cloned fragments are typed for RFLP type (in order to minimise no. of clones to be sequenced)
IV. Community level physiological profiling Method optimised for use with peat; 48 h incubation period; 14C-labeled C sources used: N-Acetyl-Glucosamine Glucose Benzoic acid Galactose Phenylethylamine Arabinose Glycine Xylose Lysine Sucrose Arginine D-Mannitol Aspartic acid Glucosamine Glutamic acid
Other data are needed to perform CCA.
CVA of CLPP patterns per country, grouped by site. Figures show Finland (A); Scotland (B); France Russey (C) and Switzerland (D).
V. FTIR (preliminary analysis)
CVA of FTIR patterns per country, grouped by site. Figures show Finland (A); Scotland (B); France Russey (C) and Switzerland (D).
