The mycoremediation potential of the armillarioids: a comparative genomics analysis

Blog Article

Genes involved in mycoremediation were identified by comparative genomics analysis in 10 armillarioid species and selected groups of heinz omogeneizzati white-rot Basidiomycota (14) and soft-rot Ascomycota (12) species to confine the distinctive bioremediation capabilities of the armillarioids.The genomes were explored using phylogenetic principal component analysis (pPCA), searching for genes already documented in a biocatalysis/biodegradation database.The results underlined a distinct, increased potential of aromatics-degrading genes/enzymes in armillarioids, with particular emphasis on a high copy number and diverse spectrum of benzoate 4-monooxygenase [EC:1.14.14.

92] homologs.In addition, other enzymes involved in the degradation of various monocyclic aromatics were more abundant in the armillarioids than in the other white-rot basidiomycetes, and enzymes involved in the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were more prevailing in armillarioids and other white-rot species than in soft-rot Ascomycetes.Transcriptome profiling of A.ostoyae and A.borealis isolates confirmed that several genes involved in the degradation of benzoates and other monocyclic aromatics were distinctively expressed in the wood-invading fungal mycelia.

Data ogee skirt were consistent with armillarioid species offering a more powerful potential in degrading aromatics.Our results provide a reliable, practical solution for screening the likely fungal candidates for their full biodegradation potential, applicability, and possible specialization based on their genomics data.
