Article Synopsis
- Chinese medicinal fungi known as "Sanghuang" have a long history of recognized medicinal properties, but similar-looking fungi have often been mistakenly used in traditional medicine.
- A study highlights the limitations of previous taxonomic methods for differentiating true Sanghuang fungi from Sanghuang-like fungi in the genera Porodaedalea, Phellinus, and Inonotus.
- Utilizing mitogenomes, the research demonstrates distinct genetic characteristics that help classify these fungi more accurately, supporting the reclassification of Phellinus gilvus S12 as Sanghuangporus vaninii and providing tools for further research on these species.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on bird's nest fungi, a group of mushrooms with medicinal properties in Chinese medicine, and conducts the first comprehensive analysis of their mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes).
- - Researchers analyzed five species with circular mitogenomes ranging in size, revealing both structural similarities within the family and genetic diversity across related groups.
- - Phylogenetic analyses provided insights into evolutionary relationships and the genetic uniqueness of these fungi, contributing to a better understanding of fungal mitogenomes overall.
mushroom is a traditional medicinal fungus with anti-cancer, antioxidation, and immunomodulatory activities, and it is used in folk medicine as a treatment for indigestion, cancer, diabetes, and gastric illnesses. Although is recognized as a rare edible medicinal macrofungi, its genomic sequence and biosynthesis potential of secondary metabolites have not been investigated. In this study, using Illumina NovaSeq combined with the PacBio platform, we sequenced and assembled the whole genome of NPCB_001, a wild isolate from the Aksu area of Xinjiang Province, China.
