Gene Duplication, Horizontal Gene Transfer, and Trait Trade-offs Drive Evolution of Post-Fire Resource Acquisition in Pyrophilous Fungi

2025-07-21

Abstract excerpt

Wildfires significantly alter soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), reducing microbial richness and biomass, while selecting for fire-loving pyrophilous microbes that drive post-fire nutrient cycling. However, the genomic strategies and functional trade-offs (balancing gains in one trait with costs in another) underlying the traits that enable pyrophilous microbes to survive and thrive post-fire are virtually unknown....
