Chromosome-level genomes of two Bracteacoccaceae highlight adaptations to biocrusts
Abstract Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) cover the majority of the world’s dryland ground and are a significant component of the vegetation-free surface of the planet. They consist of an intimate association of microbial organisms, lichens, bryophytes and fungi. Biocrusts are severely endangered...
