The mycoremediation potential of the armillarioids: a comparative genomics analysis

Genes involved in mycoremediation were identified by comparative genomics analysis 10 armillarioid species and selected groups of white-rot Basidiomycota (14) soft-rot Ascomycota (12) to confine the distinctive bioremediation capabilities armillarioids. The genomes explored using phylogenetic principal component (pPCA), searching for genes already documented a biocatalysis/biodegradation database. results underlined distinct, increased potential aromatics-degrading genes/enzymes armillarioids, with particular emphasis on high copy number diverse spectrum benzoate 4-monooxygenase [EC:1.14.14.92] homologs. In addition, other enzymes degradation various monocyclic aromatics more abundant armillarioids than basidiomycetes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) prevailing Ascomycetes. Transcriptome profiling A. ostoyae borealis isolates confirmed that several benzoates distinctively expressed wood-invading fungal mycelia. Data consistent offering powerful degrading aromatics. Our provide reliable, practical solution screening likely candidates their full biodegradation potential, applicability, possible specialization based data.
