TL;DR: These results demonstrate that these genes are functional and can be used by fungi to efficiently scavenge the numerous, low concentration, oligopeptides continuously generated in soils by proteolysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a small number of eukaryotes have been investigated with respect to metal resistance, and it was hypothesized that many genes that control this phenomenon remain to be identified.

TL;DR: The results showed that Bacteria and Archaea communities were mainly shaped by sediment depth while the fungal community was almost evenly distributed according to sediment depth, vegetation cover and season, and a dominance of Ascomycota over Basidiomycota whatever the compartment, while there was a clear shift in prokaryotic composition.

TL;DR: Sequence analysis revealed that these CRPs share common features with different known metallothionein families, but also exhibit unique specific features, and were designated as environmental metalothioneins belonging to a new formerly undescribed metallOTHionein family.

TL;DR: This high-throughput sequencing approach using several degenerate primers constitutes a robust method, which allows the simultaneous characterization of the diversity of different fungal transcripts involved in plant organic matter degradation and may lead to the discovery of complex patterns in gene expression of soil fungal communities.
