Resumen
Hydrophobins are small secreted fungal proteins that form amphipathic films on the hyphal surfaces.
In the wood-rotting fungus Schizophyllum commune, four different hydrophobins are known with well
established functions during vegetative growth and fruiting body development. Our study aims at elucidating
the role of these proteins in wood penetration and lignocellulose degradation. Blast searc ...

Hydrophobins are small secreted fungal proteins that form amphipathic films on the hyphal surfaces.
In the wood-rotting fungus Schizophyllum commune, four different hydrophobins are known with well
established functions during vegetative growth and fruiting body development. Our study aims at elucidating
the role of these proteins in wood penetration and lignocellulose degradation. Blast searches
of the genome of the dung fungus Coprinopsis cinerea revealed a surprising number of 34 different hydrophobin
genes in this species. Functional analysis of these genes is in progress. [--]
