Background Gene regulation underlies fungal physiology and therefore is a major factor in
fungal biodiversity. Analysis of genome sequences has revealed a large number of putative …

Background Saprophytic filamentous fungi are ubiquitous micro-organisms that play an
essential role in photosynthetic carbon recycling. The wood-decayer Pycnoporus …

The white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus is economically the most important
commercially produced edible fungus. It is grown on carbon-and nitrogen-rich substrates …

Fungal secretory peroxidases mediate fundamental ecological functions in the conversion
and degradation of plant biomass. Many of these enzymes have strong oxidizing activities …

The enormity of the breadth and depth of specimens held within the world's biological
collections offers unparalleled opportunities to capture genomic data from across the entire …

Agaricomycetes are fruiting body‐forming fungi that produce some of the most efficient
enzyme systems to degrade wood. Despite decades‐long interest in their biology, the …

Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are the most speciose and the most complex group of plant
pathogens. Historically, rust taxonomy was largely influenced by host and phenotypic …

Efficient gene deletion methods are essential for the high-throughput study of gene function.
Compared to most ascomycete model systems, gene deletion is more laborious in …

In wheat straw based composting, enabling growth of Agaricus bisporus mushrooms, it is
unknown to which extent the carbohydrate-lignin matrix changes and how much is …

Cladophialophora exuberans is a filamentous fungus related to black yeasts in the order
Chaetothyriales. These melanized fungi are known for their 'dual ecology', often occurring in …
