Post-genomic analyses of fungal lignocellulosic biomass degradation reveal the unexpected potential of the plant pathogen <it>Ustilago maydis</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Filamentous fungi are potent biomass degraders due to their ability to thrive in ligno(hemi)cellulose-rich environments. During the last decade, fungal genome sequencing initiatives have yielded abundant information on the genes that...
