In silico Proteomic Analysis Provides Insights Into Phylogenomics and Plant Biomass Deconstruction Potentials of the Tremelalles.

ABSTRACT: Basidiomycetes populate a wide range of ecological niches but unlike ascomycetes, their capabilities to decay plant polymers and their potential for biotechnological approaches receive less attention. Particularly, identification and isolation of CAZymes is of biotechnological relevance and has the potential to improve the cache of currently available commercial enzyme cocktails toward enhanced plant biomass utilization. The order Tremellales comprises phylogenetically diverse fungi living as human pathogens, mycoparasites, saprophytes or associated with insects. Here, we have employed comparative genomics approaches to highlight the phylogenomic relationships among thirty-five Tremellales and to identify putative enzymes of biotechnological interest encoded on their genomes.
