Journal ArticleDOI

Active and total microbial communities in forest soil are largely different and highly stratified during decomposition.

TL;DR: It is shown that low-abundance species make an important contribution to decomposition processes in soils, and cellulose decomposition is mediated by highly diverse fungal populations largely distinct between soil horizons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulse dynamics and microbial processes in aridland ecosystems

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of microbial processes in aridland ecosystem dynamics has been investigated, including efficient decomposition of recalcitrant C compounds, N-transformations such as nitrification, and nutrient storage and translocation of C and N between plants and biotic soil crusts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellulose utilization in forest litter and soil: identification of bacterial and fungal decomposers

TL;DR: Several bacteria and fungi demonstrated here to derive their carbon from cellulose were previously not recognized as cellulolytic, and was preferentially accumulated in the fungal biomass and cellulose induced fungal proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genome sequencing of mycorrhizal fungi provides insights into the early evolution of symbiotic traits.

Shingo Miyauchi, +58 more
TL;DR: This study samples ecologically dominant fungal guilds for which there were previously no symbiotic genomes available, including ectomycorrhizal Russulales, Thelephorales and Cantharellales, and shows that transitions from saprotrophy to symbiosis involve widespread losses of degrading enzymes acting on lignin and cellulose.
