AI Article Synopsis
- Environmental factors can influence changes in the fungal genome over time, as shown in this study on Trichoderma virens FT-333, a biocontrol fungus from a tropical marine environment.
- The genome of FT-333 is approximately 38.6 million base pairs and contains 12,751 proteins, with significant findings related to its secretion functions.
- Compared to other Trichoderma species, FT-333 exhibits variability in the gene copy numbers associated with defense mechanisms and nutrient utilization.
Article Abstract
Environmental factors can cause changes in the content of the fungal genome during evolution. In this study, a fungus used as a biocontrol agent, Trichoderma virens FT-333 (from a tropical marine climate) has been isolated. The genome (38.6 Mbp; GC content, 49.43%) has a total of 12,751 proteins. Gene ontology terms (cellular component and molecular function) and KEGG analyses demonstrated the importance of the secretion function in FT-333. Compared to the other Trichoderma species, copy number of genes related to defense and nutrient utilization was variable.
