Elevated substitution rates and increased purifying selection associated with thermophily in <i>Chaetomiaceae</i> fungi

2026-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genomic consequences of thermal adaptation in fungi is crucial, as rising global temperatures are expected to have negative impacts on food safety and human health. The family Chaetomiaceae contains a large number of thermophilic fungal taxa, but previous studies have reported inconsistent optimal growth temperatures (OGT) for the same strains, obtained with various laboratory methods. Here we a...
