Re-annotation of the CAZy genes of Trichoderma reesei and transcription in the presence of lignocellulosic substrates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trichoderma reesei is a soft rot Ascomycota fungus utilised for industrial production of secreted enzymes, especially lignocellulose degrading enzymes. About 30 carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) of T. reesei have been biochemically characterised. Genome sequencing has revealed a large number of novel candidates for CAZymes, thus increasing the potential for identification of enzymes with novel activities and properties. Plenty of data exists on the carbon source dependent regulation of the characterised hydrolytic genes. However, information on the expression of the novel CAZyme genes, especially on complex biomass material, is very limited.

Results

In this study, the CAZyme gene content of the T. reesei genome was updated and the annotations of the genes refi
