Comparative genomics of the bacterial genus <it>Listeria</it>: Genome evolution is characterized by limited gene acquisition and limited gene loss by Barker Melissa, Degoricija Lovorka, Orsi Renato H, Vatta Paolo, Ferreira Vania, Cummings Craig A, den Bakker Henk C, Petrauskene Olga, Furtado Manohar R, Wiedmann Martin

“…Limited gene loss in <it>Listeria </it>did include loss of virulence associated genes, likely associated with multiple transitions to a saprotrophic lifestyle. The genus <it>Listeria </it>thus provides an example of a group of bacteria that appears to evolve through a loss of virulence rather than acquisition of virulence characteristics. …”

Responses of a soil fungal community to severe windstorm damages in an old silver fir stand by Francesco Venice, Francesco Venice, Alfredo Vizzini, Alfredo Vizzini, Roberto Danti, Gianni Della Rocca, Antonietta Mello

“…Our hypothesis is driven by the evidence that key symbiotic, endophytic, and saprotrophic guilds are still present and diversified in the wind-damaged area, and that dominance of single taxa or biodiversity loss was not observed from a mycological point of view. …”

Culturable fungi associated with wood decay of Picea abies in subalpine forest soils: a field-mesocosm case study by Oliveira Longa CM, Francioli D, Gómez-Brandón M, Ascher-Jenull J, Bardelli T, Pietramellara G, Egli M, Sartori G, Insam H

“…Fungal communities were evaluated using in-field mesocosms after one year of exposition of P. abies wood blocks along an altitudinal gradient ranging from 1200 up to 2000 m a.s.l. comprising eight subalpine sites, four of them located at north- and other four at south-facing slopes. Although many saprotrophic species were isolated from the wood blocks, several white-rot species as the pathogenic fungi Armillaria cepistipes and Heterobasidion annosum, along with soft-rot fungi such as Lecytophora sp. were identified. …”
