Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the ability to create various biologically active molecules, notably xylomannan and fucogalactan, which have potential anticancer properties, and points out the genetic variability among species affecting metabolite production.
- The researchers used high-throughput shotgun sequencing to fully sequence the genome of strain 5.1, known for its xylomannan production, successfully enhancing the genome assembly to create 12 chromosome-level scaffolds.
- The resulting genome sequence not only aids in understanding the biological mechanisms behind the species' medicinal use but also contributes to knowledge about fungal genomics and polysaccharide biosynthesis.
