Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Fire did not change the general structure of Acacia nodules.
- Observation After fire, Acacia nodules had more infected cells.
- Observation After fire, Acacia nodules had greater starch accumulation.
- Mechanism Starch in uninfected nodule cells may feed the microbiota.
- Observation Bradyrhizobium dominated Acacia nodules at both sites at about 77%.
- Observation Tardiphaga followed Bradyrhizobium in nodule abundance at about 9%.
- Observation Additional nitrogen-fixing bacteria entered the top ten genera at the burnt site.
- Observation Acacia nodule mycobiomes differed substantially between sites and were diverse at both.
- Observation Coniochaeta dominated nodules at the burnt site at 69%.
- Mechanism Coniochaeta may facilitate symbiotic associations.
- Observation A large bacterial and fungal community inhabits Acacia nodules.
- Mechanism The authors suggest Acacia nodulation functions beyond nitrogen fixation.
- Mechanism The nodule microbiome may facilitate Acacia invasive success.
