Multi-Omics Analyses Reveal Divergent Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Plant Biomass Conversion by Five Fungi.

ABSTRACT: Fungal plant biomass conversion (FPBC) is of great importance to the global carbon cycle and has been increasingly applied for the production of biofuel and biochemicals from lignocellulose. However, the comprehensive understanding of relevant molecular mechanisms in different fungi remains challenging. Here, we comparatively analyzed the transcriptome, proteome and metabolome profile of four ascomycetes and one basidiomycete fungi during their growth on two common agricultural feedstocks (soybean hulls and corn stover). We revealed strong time-, substrate- and species-specific responses at multi-omics levels for the tested fungi, highlighting species-specific carbon utilization approaches and evolutionary adaptation to environmental niches. Notably, a remarkable expressional diversity of
