(ASVs) categorized as “plant_pathogen” in the “primary_lifestyle” or “secondary_lifestyle” were used as putative pathogens, and “soil_saprotroph”, “litter_saprotroph”, “wood_saprotroph” and “unspecified_saprotroph” in the “primary_lifestyle” were used as saprobes for ...
Unlike embryophytes and algae, fungi are not photosynthetic, but are saprotrophs: obtaining food by breaking down and absorbing surrounding materials. Fungi are not plants, but were historically treated as closely related to plants, and were considered to be in the purview of botanists. It has...

which generally gain carbon through photosynthesis, and so are called autotrophs, fungi do not possess chloroplasts and generally obtain carbon by breaking down and absorbing surrounding materials, and so are called heterotrophic saprotrophs. In addition...
Among fungal functional guilds, ectomycorrhizal fungi decreased significantly with increasing WUI, whereas saprotrophic fungi (undefined, wood, and soil saprotrophs) increased significantly. The species richness of woody plants remarkably affected fungal functional guilds. Ectomycorrhizal fungi interacted in ...
Xinjiang soil was characterized by a focus on wood and plant saprotrophy, and endophytes, whereas in Fujian soil the fungal community was mainly associated with ectomycorrhizal interactions, fungal parasitism, and wood saprotrophy. Discussion: Our findings suggest fungal com...
Saprotroph: Organism that obtains nutrients from dead organic matter. analyses, availability of mutant collections, RNA interference lines and plants transformed with fluorescent tags have all led to new per- spectives on plant–microbe interactions, and on EMs and AMs in particular. In this ...
48 observed that pathogen and saprotroph fungi increased in the rumen of sheep moved to pasture after a diet of hay and concentrate, although their relative abundance remained lower than that observed in our study. We suggest that the longer period at pasture experienced by the cows of this ...
In mature forests, tree and shrub mycorrhizal associations integrate plant and fungal functional traits, making these relationships important controls on s
and Animal Pathogen-Endophyte-Lichen Parasite-Plant Pathogen-Soil Saprotroph-Wood Saprotroph (Fig.5C and D). The relative abundance of animal and plant pathogens significantly decreased in the LCA and HCA groups before aerobic exposure (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the relative abundance of anim...
