The Omega class of glutathione transferases (GSTs) forms a distinct within the cytosolic GST superfamily because most them possess catalytic cysteine residue. human 1 isoform was first characterized twenty years ago, but it took work to clarify roles isoforms. Concerning kingdom fungi, little is known about cellular functions (GSTOs), although they are widely represented in some these organisms...

Our review includes a genomic survey of multitude reactive oxygen species (ROS) related intra- and extracellular enzymes proteins among fungi Basidiomycota, following their taxonomic classification within the systematic classes orders, focusing on different fungal lifestyles (saprobic, symbiotic, pathogenic). Intra- ROS metabolism-involved (49 protein families, summing 4170 models) were searche...

Soil microorganisms are an integral part of the soil and highly sensitive to environmental changes. The shift in plant community properties following forest succession may cause differences bacterial fungal composition. Some studies suggested community, species composition tends switch from r-strategy groups k-strategy groups. However, generalization on changing pattern has not been worked out....

The highest rates of global organic carbon burial (up to 6.5 × 10 mol/Myr) over the past half billion years occurred during the Carboniferous–Permian (330–260 Myr), in large part because of the accumulation and burial of peat in broad tropical lowland basins (1). Atypical rates of organic carbon sequestration led to low atmospheric pCO2 and anomalously high pO2 (Fig. 1), which in turn triggered...

Fungi contain a remarkable range of metabolic pathways, sometimes encoded by gene clusters, enabling them to digest most organic matter and synthesize an array of potent small molecules. Although metabolism is fundamental to the fungal lifestyle, we still know little about how major evolutionary processes, such as gene duplication (GD) and horizontal gene transfer (HGT), have interacted with cl...
