Article Abstract

Trichaptum biforme is a white-rot fungus that plays a key role in the process of cellulose degradation. In this study, we employed a suite of techniques to sequence the genome of T. biforme, and achieved high-quality assembly and detailed annotation. The genome spans 50.71 Mb, comprises 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, and encodes 15,302 predicted genes, exhibiting a BUSCO completeness of 96.30 %. Comparative genomic analysis has elucidated the similarities in gene composition and the differences in evolutionary pressure between T. biforme and T. abietinum. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the evolutionary position of T. abietinum and indicates that their divergence time is 21.20 million years ago (MYAs). Bioinformatic analysis revealed 375 genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), of which 144 CAZymes were predicted to interact with 18 polysaccharide synthases. In conclusion, this work reports for the first time the genome of T. biforme, providing a comprehensive understanding of its complex functions, and elucidating the genetic basis of its ability to degrade lignocellulose.

Cancer remains a major global health concern, often challenging traditional treatments. Natural compounds like fungal polysaccharides have gained attention for their immune-modulatory properties. This study evaluates the phytochemical properties of the n-hexane fraction of Trichaptum biforme and explores its immune-enhancing effects.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on identifying beneficial endophytic fungi from five medicinal plants and their effects on maize seed germination.
  • Researchers isolated 97 endophytic fungi from samples and discovered that certain species, such as Alternaria consortiale, significantly improved seed germination and maize growth.
  • Findings suggest that these fungi, particularly from high-altitude areas, could serve as biofertilizers, potentially reducing the need for chemical fertilizers in agriculture.

Background: In September 2012, a multistate fungal meningitis outbreak started across 20 states in the United States. It affected 753 individuals and caused 64 deaths who received contaminated spinal injections. In a previous study, we analyzed 26 environmental samples collected from the manufacturing premises of a compounding company to determine the possible cause of an outbreak and identified 14 distinct fungal species.
