Can leaf degrading enzymes provide evidence that endophytic fungi becoming saprobes? (2010, background): “Some endophytic fungi colonizing decom- posing leaves can produce degrading enzymes such as ligninolytic enzymes to decompose the lignocellulose matrix (Carroll and Petrini 1983; Osono and Takeda 2001a, b, 2002; Pointing et al. 2003; Urairuj et al. 2003).”
Protists in soil ecology and forest nutrient cycling (2006, background): “Another study that followed succession patterns in litter decomposition identified a functional shift in the primary saprotroph community after 21 months (Osono and Takeda 2001).”
Ecology of ligninolytic fungi associated with leaf litter decomposition (2007, background): “Osono and Takeda (2001b) attributed this increase to the relative enrichment of the remaining litter with lignin.”
The roles of microorganisms in litter decomposition and soil formation (2014, methodology): “Hyphal length Hyphal length in litter was measured by the agar-film method in litter samples collected at 12, 24 and 36 months (Osono and Takeda 2001).”
Fungal community on decomposing leaf litter undergoes rapid successional changes (2012, result): “This seems to be consistent with the culture-based observations that divided fungi into early, intermediate and late decomposers (Frankland, 1998; Osono and Takeda, 2001; Tang et al., 2005; Osono, 2007).”
