Draft genome of the brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis pinicola GR9-4
نویسندگان
چکیده
Basidiomycete brown-rot fungi have a huge importance for wood decomposition and thus the global carbon cycle. Here, we present the genome sequence of Fomitopsis pinicola GR9-4 which represent different F. pinicola clade than the previously sequenced North American isolate FP-58527 SS1. The genome was sequenced by using a paired-end sequence library of Illumina and a 2.5k and 5k mate-pair library (ABI SOLiD). The final assembly adds up to a size of 45 Mb (including gaps between contigs), with a GC-content of 56%. The gene prediction resulted in 13,888 gene models. The genome sequence will be used as a basis for understanding population genomics, genome-wide association studies and wood decay mechanisms of this brown-rot fungus.

Enhancement of β-Glucosidase Activity from a Brown Rot Fungus Fomitopsis pinicola KCTC 6208 by Medium Optimization
β-Glucosidase, which hydrolyzes cellobiose into two glucoses, plays an important role in the process of saccharification of the lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, we optimized the activity of β-glucosidase of brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis pinicola KCTC 6208 using the response surface methodology (RSM) with various concentrations of glucose, yeast extract and ascorbic acid, which are the most...
متن کاملInteractions affect hyphal growth and enzyme profiles in combinations of coniferous wood-decaying fungi of Agaricomycetes
Fomitopsis pinicola is a species of Polyporales frequently encountered in Nordic temperate and boreal forests. In nature, the fungus causes destructive brown rot in wood, colonizing tree trunks often occupied by other Basidiomycota species. We mimicked these species-species interactions by introducing F. pinicola to five white rot species, all common saprotrophs of Norway spruce. Hyphal interac...

Higher Basidiomycota have been used in natural medicine throughout the world for centuries. One of such fungi is Fomitopsis betulina (formerly Piptoporus betulinus), which causes brown rot of birch wood. Annual white to brownish fruiting bodies of the species can be found on trees in the northern hemisphere but F. betulina can also be cultured as a mycelium and fruiting body. The fungus has a l...

Statistical approaches were employed for the optimization of different cultural parameters for the production of laccase by the white rot fungus Fomes fomentarius MUCL 35117 in wheat bran-based solid medium. first, screening of production parameters was performed using an asymmetrical design 2(5)3(3)//16, and the variables with statistically significant effects on laccase production were identi...
متن کاملPhylogeny of Fomitopsis pinicola: a species complex.
Fungal species with a broad distribution may exhibit considerable genetic variation over their geographic ranges. Variation may develop among populations based on geographic isolation, lack of migration, and genetic drift, though this genetic variation may not always be evident when examining phenotypic characters. Fomitopsis pinicola is an abundant saprotrophic fungus found on decaying logs th...
