Article Abstract
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) form a superfamily of multifunctional proteins with essential roles in cellular detoxification processes and endogenous metabolism. The distribution of fungal-specific class A GSTs was investigated in saprotrophic fungi revealing a recent diversification within this class. Biochemical characterization of eight GSTFuA isoforms from Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Coprinus cinereus demonstrated functional diversity in saprotrophic fungi. The three-dimensional structures of three P. chrysosporium isoforms feature structural differences explaining the functional diversity of these enzymes. Competition experiments between fluorescent probes, and various molecules, showed that these GSTs function as ligandins with various small aromatic compounds, derived from lignin degradation or not, at a L-site overlapping the glutathione binding pocket. By combining genomic data with structural and biochemical determinations, we propose that this class of GST has evolved in response to environmental constraints induced by wood chemistry.

Wild mushrooms can be an important source of protein and essential amino acids, however very little is known about the environmental factors affecting the content of these compounds. In our study, we investigated the influence of soil properties (soil type, C/N ratio, pH) and tree stand characteristics (tree diversity, canopy cover, understory cover, and the proportion of deciduous trees) on total protein and essential amino acids (Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanine, Lysine, Methionine, Arginine, Histidine) contents in seven wild-growing mushroom species (Macrolepiota procera, Rhodocolybia butyracea, Russula cyanoxantha, R.heterophylla, Lactifluus vellereus, Armillaria mellea s.

Black morel (Morchella sextelata) is widely regarded as a post-fire mushroom because of its prolific fruiting in post-fire forest soils enriched with charcoal. Intriguingly, artificial cultivation of M. sextelata often incorporates biochar as a soil amendment to enhance yield, although the underlying physicochemical and ecological mechanisms remain unclear.

This study addresses the understanding of fungal diversity and their bioremediation roles in an integrated aquaculture wastewater bioremediation system, an area less explored compared to bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Despite the rapid advancement and affordability of molecular tools, insights into fungal communities remain vague, and interpreting environmental studies in an ecologically meaningful manner continues to pose challenges. To bridge this knowledge gap, we developed an integrated aquaculture wastewater bioremediation system, incorporating photosynthetic bacteria, and utilizing internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing to analyze fungal community composition.
