Draft Genome Sequence of Labrenzia sp. Strain EL143, a Coral-Associated Alphaproteobacterium with Versatile Symbiotic Living Capability and Strong Halogen Degradation Potential.

We report here the genome sequence of sp. EL143, an alphaproteobacterium isolated from the gorgonian coral that possesses various genes involved in halogen and aromatic compound degradation, as well as polyketide synthesis. The strain also maintains multiple genes that confer resistance to toxic compounds such as heavy metals and antibiotics.

The relation between xyr1 overexpression in Trichoderma harzianum and sugarcane bagasse saccharification performance.

This work investigates the influence of the positive regulator XYR1 of Trichoderma harzianum on the production of cellulolytic enzymes, using sugarcane bagasse as carbon source. Constitutive expression of xyr1 was achieved under the control of the strong Trichoderma reesei pki1 promoter. Five clones with xyr1 overexpression achieved higher xyr1 expression and greater enzymatic productivity when cultivated under submerged fermentation, hence validating the genetic construction for T.
