The Three-Dimensional Structure of the Genome of the Dark Septate Endophyte <i>Exophiala tremulae</i> and Its Symbiosis Effect on Alpine Meadow Plant Growth.

ABSTRACT: The establishment of artificial grassland is a good pathway for resolving serious social and economic problems in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Some beneficial indigenous microbes may be used to improve productivity in artificial grassland. The genome of the indigenous dark septate fungus, Exophiala tremulae CICC2537, was sequenced and assembled at the chromosome level using the PacBio sequencing platform, with the assistance of the Hi-C technique for scaffolding, and its 3D genome structures were investigated. The genome size of E. tremulae is 51.903848 Mb, and it contains eight chromosomes. A total of 12,277 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 11,932 genes (97.19%) were annotated. As for the distribution of exon and intron number and the distribution of gene GC and CDS GC
