A metagenomic survey of wood decay fungi in the urban trees of Singapore by Hong, Yan, Tan, Jhing Yein, Xue, Huiyu, Chow, Mei Lun, Mohamed Ali, Ng, Arthur, Leong, Abigail, Yeo, Jeb, Koh, Shao Ming, Tang, Megan Shi Ying, Lee, Yan Yi, Choong, Amy Mei Fun, Lee, Serena Mei Lyn, Delli Ponti, Riccardo, Chan, Perry M., Lee, Daryl, Wong, Jia Yih, Mutwil, Marek, Fong, Yok King

“…Out of the 22,067 OTUs (operational taxonomic units) identified, 10,646 OTUs had annotation information, and most were either ascomycetes (63.4%) or basidiomycetes (22.5%). Based on their detection in the diseased tissues and surrounding soils and/or the presence of fruiting bodies, fourteen basidiomycetes (nine Polyporales, four Hymenochaetales, one Boletales) and three ascomycetes (three species of Scytalidium) were strongly associated with the diseased trees. …”

The fate of gene duplicates in the genomes of fungal pathogens. by Skamnioti, P, Furlong, R, Gurr, S

“…The recent proliferation of sequenced fungal genomes offers a unique opportunity to start elucidating the extreme phenotypic diversity in the Kingdom Fungi.1-4 We attempted to investigate the contribution of gene families to the evolutionary forces shaping the diversity of pathogenic lifestyles among the fungi.5 We studied a family of secreted enzymes which is present and expanded in all genomes of fungal pathogens sequenced to date and absent from the genomes of true yeasts.3,4 This family of cutinases6 predates the division between the two major fungal phyla, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.5 We discuss our molecular phylogenetic analyses, the number and sequence diversity, and gene gains and losses of cutinase family members between five Ascomycetes: the phytopathogens Magnaporthe oryzae, Fusarium graminearum and Botrytis cinerea; and the model organisms Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans.5 The functional characterization of three members of the M. oryzae cutinase family,6-10 coupled with the regulatory subfunctionalization and neofunctionalization of most gene pairs5 provide the first justification for the retention of paralogs after duplication and for gene redundancy in the genomes of fungal pathogens.…”
