The mycoremediation potential of the armillarioids: a comparative genomics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Genes involved in mycoremediation were identified by comparative genomics analysis in 10 armillarioid species and selected groups of white-rot Basidiomycota (14) and soft-rot Ascomycota (12) species to confine the distinctive bioremediation capabilities of the armillarioids. The genomes were explored using phylogenetic principal component analysis (pPCA), searching for genes already documented in a biocatalysis/biodegradation database. The results underlined a distinct, increased potential of aromatics-degrading genes/enzymes in armillarioids, with particular emphasis on a high copy number and diverse spectrum of benzoate 4-monooxygenase [EC:1.14.14.92] homologs. In addition, other enzymes involved in the degradation of various monocyclic aromatics were more abundant in the armillarioids t
