“…High-throughput sequencing revealed that the CR, SR, and NCCR treatments altered the fungal community composition by increasing the abundance of the beneficial fungal genera, decreasing pathogenic taxa, and fostering the saprotrophic and symbiotic functions. However, the relative abundance of most of the potentially pathogenic fungal genera increased in CC and LLR cropping. …”

The fungus is also exemplary of “two-speed” genome organisms in the genome of which gene-rich and repeat-rich regions alternate. …”

The Snowmelt Niche Differentiates Three Microbial Life Strategies That Influence Soil Nitrogen Availability During and After Winter by Patrick O. Sorensen, Harry R. Beller, Markus Bill, Nicholas J. Bouskill, Susan S. Hubbard, Ulas Karaoz, Alexander Polussa, Alexander Polussa, Heidi Steltzer, Heidi Steltzer, Shi Wang, Kenneth H. Williams, Kenneth H. Williams, Yuxin Wu, Eoin L. Brodie, Eoin L. Brodie

“…In contrast, Snowmelt-Specialist archaea and bacteria were phylogenetically overdispersed, suggesting that the key mechanism(s) of the microbial biomass crash are likely to be density-dependent (e.g., trophic interactions, competitive exclusion) and affect organisms across a broad phylogenetic spectrum. Saprotrophic fungi were the dominant functional group across fungal life strategies, however, ectomycorrhizal fungi experienced a large increase in abundance in spring. …”

Relaciones entre los hongos filamentosos y solubilizadores de fosfatos con algunas variables edáficas y el manejo de cafetales Filamentous and phosphate solubilizing fungi relation... by Raúl Hernando Posada, Marina Sánchez de Prager, Ewald Sieverding, Karla Aguilar Dorantes, Gabriela Patricia Heredia-Abarca

“…We found that the relationships of clay and organic carbon content, and available phosphorus and soil pH, with the species richness and number of isolates of MFF, PSF-Fe and PSF-(Fe+Ca) were highly variable; this made impossible to generalize the responses between saprotrophic fungal groups and geographic zones. The management intensity was not related to species richness and number of isolates of MFF in any coffee areas, while for PSF the relationship could not be defined. …”
