Summary

This fungus is the first eukaryotic, facultative anaerobe known to express one of three distinct metabolic energy mechanisms closely depending on environmental O2 tension, and it is showed that ammonia fermentation occurs in many other fungi that are common in soil, suggesting that facultativeAnaerobes are widely distributed among fungi that have been considered aerobic organisms.
