Its proliferation on charred plant biomass (wood and grasses) in fire-affected environments is often linked to the heat tolerance or heat−/chemical-induced germination of <i>N. crassa</i> spores; however, this link is not consistent across ecosystems or substrate types. Another possible, yet unvalidated, explanation is that <i>N. crassa</i> has an enhanced capacity for degrading charred (i.e., pyrolyzed) plant biomass. We assessed this adaptation for <i>N. crassa</i> by quantifying the decay of wood and grasses that were pyrolyzed to relevant extents (untreated, heated at 225°C or 350°C for 20 min) and by comparing this decay with non-fire-associated fungi. <i>Neurospora crassa</i> did not have an enhanced ability to degrade pyrolyzed substrates. Additionally, <i>N. crassa</i> struggled to degrade any wood substrate (&lt; 6% mass loss) but did degrade untreated grasses (&gt; 20% mass loss). These results, paired with chemical analyses of substrates pre- and post-decay, support a fire-response strategy for <i>N. crassa</i>, rather than a fire-adaptive ability to degrade charred substrates. This fungus likely proliferates on charred biomass by rapidly colonising heat-sterilised substrates after heat- or smoke-induced spore germination and then consuming unpyrolyzed lignocellulose beneath a charred exterior.</p>","PeriodicalId":11898,"journal":{"name":"Environmental microbiology","volume":"27 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1462-2920.70132","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we examine the formation and composition of epiphytic biofilms, summarize their effects on submerged macrophyte growth in freshwater lakes, and discuss how they mediate plant changes under increasing exposure to environmental pollution. Epiphytic biofilms, composed of complex biotic and abiotic components, influence submerged macrophytes by modifying light conditions and gas exchange, modulating nutrient competition and antioxidant responses, and releasing allelopathic substances; the magnitude of these effects varies with the biofilm's composition. Environmental pollution might favor resistant or fast-growing species that better compete for nutrients, impair light capture and gas exchange, and release harmful allelopathic substances. This diminishes the beneficial effects of epiphytic biofilms on submerged macrophytes, sometimes even resulting in detrimental impacts.

Additionally, factors like lateral transport, seed population dynamics and physiological and molecular shifts are conducive to shaping the community assemblage and primary productivity. This study examines how phytoplankton gene expression and resulting physiology change between early and later phases of upwelling. By incorporating metatranscriptomic analyses and stable isotope incubations to measure nutrient uptake kinetics into our assessment of early and later upwelling stages, we observed variability in phytoplankton assemblages and differential gene expression of phytoplankton that were de-coupled from their physiology. We show that the gene expression response to a fresh upwelling event precedes their physiological response.

With the exception of fermentative Bacteroides, strains did not require direct contact with pyrite to reduce the mineral, indicating extracellular electron transfer via electron shuttles.
