101 Dothideomycetes genomes: a test case for predicting lifestyles and emergence of pathogens
Dothideomycetes is the largest class of kingdom Fungi and comprises an incredible diversity of lifestyles, many of which have evolved multiple times. Plant pathogens represent a major ecological niche of the class ... -
Basidiomycetes telomeres: a bioinformatics approach
The bioinformatics analysis described in this paper allowed us to establish the type and the number of the telomere repeat unit in the basidiomycetes analyzed, to suggest the putative linkage groups in fungi where linkage ... -
Characterization of transposon activity and genome-wide epigenetic regulation throughout the life cycle of Pleurotus ostreatus
Most prokaryotic and eukaryotic life forms have to deal with the presence of repetitive DNA sequences called transposable elements (TEs), whose ability to mobilize through the genome and insert at random position has an ... -
Comparative and transcriptional analysis of the predicted secretome in the lignocellulose-degrading basidiomycete fungus Pleurotus ostreatus
Fungi interact with their environment by secreting proteins to obtain nutrients, elicit responses and modify their surroundings. Because the set of proteins secreted by a fungus is related to its lifestyle, it should be ... -
Comparative genomics of Ceriporiopsis subvermispora and Phanerochaete chrysosporium provide insight into selective ligninolysis
Efficient lignin depolymerization is unique to the wood decay basidiomycetes, collectively referred to as white rot fungi. Phanerochaete chrysosporium simultaneously degrades lignin and cellulose, whereas the closely related ... -
Comparative genomics of Coniophora olivacea reveals different patterns of genome expansion in Boletales
Background: Coniophora olivacea is a basidiomycete fungus belonging to the order Boletales that produces brown-rot decay on dead wood of conifers. The Boletales order comprises a diverse group of species including saprotrophs ... -
Computational prediction of protein-coding gene and annotation of DNA sequences with agronomic interest in Pleurotus ostreatus (Oyster Mushroom)
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaPleurotus ostreatus, commonly known as oyster mushroom, is a commercially important edible fungus with interesting biotechnological properties. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses are rare in fungi and little is known ... -
Effect of nutritional factors and copper on the regulation of laccase enzyme production in Pleurotus ostreatus
This research aimed to establish the relationship between carbon–nitrogen nutritional factors and copper sulfate on laccase activity (LA) by Pleurotus ostreatus. Culture media composition was tested to choose the nitrogen ... -
Enzymatic characterization of a monokaryon population of the edible mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus with a view to genetic improvement
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaIn this work the lignocellulolytic enzymes produced by the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus var. florida were studied. The objective was to know their relationship with the degradation of the biopolymers present in ... -
Genetic breeding of edible mushrooms: from the genome to the production of new varieties of Pleurotus ostreatus
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe breeding of new varieties of industrially cultivated edible mushrooms must proceed in the framework defined by the breeding objectives, the biological characteristics of the material and the legal and cultural ... -
Genetic linkage map of the edible basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus
We have constructed a genetic linkage map of the edible basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus (var. Florida). The map is based on the segregation of 178 random amplified polymorphic DNA and 23 restriction fragment length polymorphism ... -
Genomic analysis enlightens agaricales lifestyle evolution and increasing peroxidase diversity
As actors of global carbon cycle, Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota) have developed complex enzymatic machineries that allow them to decompose all plant polymers, including lignin. Among them, saprotrophic Agaricales are ... -
Genomics and transcriptomics characterization of genes expressed during postharvest at 4 degrees C by the edible basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus
Pleurotus ostreatus is an industrially cultivated basidiomycete with nutritional and environmental applications. Its genome, which was sequenced by the joint Genome Institute, has become a model for lignin degradation ... -
Glucose counteracts wood-dependent induction of lignocellulolytic enzyme secretion in monokaryon and dikaryon submerged cultures of the white-rot basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus
The secretome complexity and lignocellulose degrading capacity of Pleurotus ostreatus monokaryons mkPC9 and mkPC15 and mated dikaryon dkN001 were studied in submerged liquid cultures containing wood, glucose, and wood plus ... -
Highly expressed captured genes and cross-kingdom domains present in Helitrons create novel diversity in Pleurotus ostreatus and other fungi
Background: Helitrons are class-II eukaryotic transposons that transpose via a rolling circle mechanism. Due to their ability to capture and mobilize gene fragments, they play an important role in the evolution of their ... -
Identification and functional characterisation of ctr1, a Pleurotus ostreatus gene coding for a copper transporter
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaCopper homeostasis is primordial for life maintenance and especially relevant for ligning-degrading fungi whose phenol-oxidase enzymes depend on this micronutrient for their activity. In this paper we report the ... -
Isolation, molecular characterization and location of telomeric sequences of the basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus var. florida
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus is an edible basidiomycete of increasing biotechnological interest due to its ability to degrade both wood and chemicals related to lignin degradation products. Telomeres are ... -
Ligninolytic peroxidase gene expression by Pleurotus ostreatus: differential regulation in lignocellulose medium and effect of temperature and pH
