To the Origin of Fungi: Analysis of MFS Transporters of First Assembled Genome Highlights Dissimilarity of Osmotrophic Abilities between Aphelida and Fungi.

Aphelids are a holomycotan group, represented exclusively by parasitoids infecting algae. They form a sister lineage to Fungi in the phylogenetic tree and represent a key group for reconstruction of the evolution of Holomycota and for analysis of the origin of Fungi. The newly assembled genome of (Holomycota, Aphelida) with a total length of 18.
