Abstract

Fungi not only undergo horizontal gene transfers (HGT)—exchanges of genetic material between species, according to Thomas A. Richards of the University of Exeter in England and his collaborators there and at the Natural History Museum in London. The process also fundamentally shaped how eukaryotic microbes obtain nutrients, he says. Details appear in the July 2011 Fungal Biology Reviews (25:98–110).
