1.
Kernaghan G, LeFait B, Hussain A
Mycorrhiza . 2025 Feb; 35(2):12. PMID: 39982554
Ectomycorrhizae (ECM) and their hyphae may account for up to one-third of forest productivity, but we know little about their patterns of decomposition and recruitment. ECM decomposition rates are governed...
2.
Bunbury-Blanchette A, Fan L, Kernaghan G
J Appl Microbiol . 2024 Apr; 135(5). PMID: 38621715
Aims: To compare the species diversity and composition of indigenous yeast communities of hybrid grapes from conventionally and organically cultivated vineyards of an emerging cool-climate wine producing region. Methods And...

Bunbury-Blanchette A, Fan L, English M, Kernaghan G
Can J Microbiol . 2022 Oct; 69(1):32-43. PMID: 36288607
Wine fermentations are generally completed by the domestic yeast , but many indigenous vineyard yeasts also influence wine flavour and aroma. Despite the flourishing wine industry in Nova Scotia, there...

Gray L, Kernaghan G
Microb Ecol . 2019 Aug; 79(2):271-284. PMID: 31392355
Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fine roots account for a substantial proportion of forest production and their decomposition releases large amounts of nutrients to the soil ecosystem. However, little is known about the...
5.
Kernaghan G, Mayerhofer M
Methods Mol Biol . 2017 Jun; 1626:33-41. PMID: 28608198
This chapter describes a method for the production and characterization of fungal acid proteases. Protease production is induced by growth on BSA media over a pH gradient and protein levels...
6.
Kernaghan G, Mayerhofer M, Griffin A
Can J Microbiol . 2017 Apr; 63(7):583-595. PMID: 28407475
Plants are colonized by diverse assemblages of fungal endophytes that have potential as biocontrol agents for a variety of crops, including grapevine. Although the diversity of symbionts can be very...
7.
Mayerhofer M, Fraser E, Kernaghan G
Mycologia . 2014 Oct; 107(1):1-11. PMID: 25344260
Fungal endophytes are ubiquitous in healthy root tissue, but little is known about their ecosystem functions, including their ability to utilize organic nutrient sources such as proteins. Root-associated fungi may...
8.
Reithmeier L, Kernaghan G
PLoS One . 2013 Nov; 8(10):e77527. PMID: 24204858
Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) are an important biotic factor in the survival of conifer seedlings under stressful conditions and therefore have the potential to facilitate conifer establishment into alpine and tundra...

Mayerhofer M, Kernaghan G, Harper K
Mycorrhiza . 2012 Sep; 23(2):119-28. PMID: 22983627
Fungal root endophytes are plant associates that colonize root tissue internally without causing any obvious harm to their host. Although ubiquitous, this relationship is not well understood. Our objectives were...
10.
Kernaghan G, Patriquin G
Microb Ecol . 2011 Apr; 62(2):460-73. PMID: 21475991
Fungal root endophytes colonize root tissue concomitantly with mycorrhizal fungi, but their identities and host preferences are largely unknown. We cultured fungal endophytes from surface-sterilized Cenococcum geophilum ectomycorrhizae of Betula...
