The paper analyzes genomic and metagenomic data to identify novel carbonic anhydrase clades, their diversity, and biome-specific distribution across microbial taxa.

This study shows that co-culturing xylarialean fungi increases metabolite diversity and bioactivity, suggesting competitive interactions drive secondary metabolism.

The paper shows that secondary metabolism gene clusters in Xylariales fungi are linked to broader ecological roles and increased gene diversity.
