Mixia osmundae (Basidiomycota, Pucciniomycotina) represents a monotypic class containing
an unusual fern pathogen with incompletely understood biology. We sequenced and analyzed
the genome of M. osmundae, focusing on genes that may provide some insight into its
mode of pathogenicity and reproductive biology.
Mixia osmundae has the smallest plant pathogenic basidiomycete...

Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a necrotrophic fungus causal to the disease tan spot of wheat, whose contribution to crop loss has increased significantly during the last few decades. Pathogenicity by this fungus is attributed to the production of host-selective toxins ( HST), which are recognized by their host in a genotype-specific...
The cycloundecapeptide cyclosporin A (CsA) was first isolated from the insect-pathogenic fungus Tolypocladium inflatum for its antifungal activity and later developed as an immunosuppressant drug. However, the full biosynthetic mechanism of CsA remains unknown and has puzzled researchers for decades. In this study, the biosynthetic gene cluster is suggested to...

In the Amazon the only described species
of Cordyceps sensu stricto (Hypocreales, Cordycipitaceae)
that parasitize insects of Orthopterida (orders
Orthoptera and Phasmida) are Cordyceps locustiphila
and C. uleana. However, the type specimens for both
taxa have been lost and the concepts of these species
are uncertain. To achieve a more...
The neotropical biogeographic zone is a ‘hot spot’ of global biodiversity, especially for insects. Fungal pathogens of insects appear to track this diversity. However, the integration of this unique component of fungal diversity into molecular phylogenetic analyses remains sparse. The entomopathogenic fungal genus Ophiocordyceps is species rich in this region...
Schizopora paradoxa KUC8140 is a white rot wood degrader commonly found in Korea. Tolerance to heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dye decolorization activity make this strain a potential candidate for mycoremediation. We report the genome sequence of S. paradoxa KUC8140 containing 44.4 Mbp. Based on ab initio gene...
