Phylogenetic analysis of 11 genetic loci and results from many genotyping studies revealed
significant genetic diversity with the pathogenic Cryptococcus gattii/Cryptococcus …

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are the two etiologic agents of
cryptococcosis. They belong to the phylum Basidiomycota and can be readily distinguished …

Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual
reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi secrete effector proteins to facilitate infection. We describe extensive
improvements to EffectorP, the first machine learning classifier for fungal effector prediction …

Basidiomycete fungi subsist on various types of plant material in diverse environments, from
living and dead trees and forest litter to crops and grasses and to decaying plant matter in …

The class Dothideomycetes is one of the largest groups of fungi with a high level of
ecological diversity including many plant pathogens infecting a broad range of hosts. Here …

Genes in prokaryotic genomes are often arranged into clusters and co-transcribed into
polycistronic RNAs. Isolated examples of polycistronic RNAs were also reported in some …

Trichoderma reesei is the main industrial source of cellulases and hemicellulases used to
depolymerize biomass to simple sugars that are converted to chemical intermediates and …

Much remains to be learned about the biology of mushroom-forming fungi, which are an
important source of food, secondary metabolites and industrial enzymes. The wood …

Ustilago maydis is a ubiquitous pathogen of maize and a well-established model organism
for the study of plant–microbe interactions. This basidiomycete fungus does not use …
