Characterization of a carbohydrate transporter from symbiotic glomeromycotan fungi

Article Abstract:

Glomeromycotan monosaccharide transporter, GpMST1, is characterized by exploiting the unique symbiosis of a glomeromycotan fungus (Geosiphon pyriformis) with cyanobacteria. The initial characterization of a new transporter family involved in fungal symbiosis provides a better understanding of carbon flows in terrestrial environments.

Reconstructing the early evolution of Fungi using a six-gene phylogeny

Article Abstract:

Phylogenetic hypotheses are developed for Fungi by using data from six gene regions and many species. The analysis has provided a robust kingdom-level phylogeny and has suggested that there were at least four independent losses of flagella during the early evolution of the Fungi.

Major fungal lineages are derived from lichen symbiotic ancestors

Article Abstract:

A phylogenetic comparative analysis of the Ascomycota phylum is presented. It was found that lichens arose much earlier than previously believed, indicating that the lichen symbiosis has played a larger role in the evolution of the Ascomycota than had been thought.
