Genomic Comparison of Two Species of Samsoniella with Other Genera in the Family Cordycipitaceae.

ABSTRACT: Whole genomes of Samsoniella hepiali ICMM 82-2 and S. yunnanensis YFCC 1527 were sequenced and annotated, as well as compared with whole genome sequences of other species in the family Cordycipitaceae. S. hepiali ICMM 82-2, S. hepiali FENG and S. yunnanensis YFCC 1527 had 54, 57 and 58 putative secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, respectively. S. hepiali had one unique domain and S. yunnanensis YFCC 1527 six. Both S. hepiali and S. yunnanensis YFCC 1527 had curvupallide-B, fumosorinone and fujikurin putative biosynthetic gene clusters. C. javanica had biosynthetic gene clusters for fumonisin. The 14 genomes had common domains, namely A-P-C-P-C and KS-AT-DH-ER-KR-ACP. The A-P-C-P-C domain may be involved in the biosynthesis of dimethylcoprogen. The maximum likelihood and the Bayesian inference trees of KS-AT-DH-ER-KR-ACP were highly consistent with the multigene phylogenetic tree for the 13 species of Cordycipitaceae. This study facilitates the discovery of novel biologically active SMs from Cordycipitaceae using heterologous expression and gene knockdown methods.
