Genome sequence of lignocellulose degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium strain RP78
Article Abstract:
The Phanerochaete chrysosporium genome reveals an impressive array of genes encoding secreted oxidases, peroxidases and hydrolytic enzymes that cooperate in wood decay. Analysis of the genome data would enhance the lignocellulose degradation, a pivotal process in the global carbon cycle, and provides a framework for further development of bioprocesses for biomass utilization, organopollutant degradation and fiber bleaching.

Genome sequencing and analysis of the versatile cell factory Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to sequence the 33.9-megabase genome of Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88, stains used in enzyme production stains utilized in the fermentation industry. A detailed description of the components of the protein secretion pathway observed striking differences in the hydrolytic enzyme spectra of aspergilli.
