Draft genome of Gongronella butleri reveals the genes contributing to its biodegradation potential.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gongronella butleri is a fungus with many industrial applications including the composting of solid biowaste. Kerala Agricultural University, India, has developed a microbial consortium of which GbKAU strain of G. butleri is a major component. Even with great industrial significance, genome of this fungus is not published, and the genes and pathways contributing to the applications are not understood. This study had the objective to demonstrate the solid biowaste decomposing capability of the strain, to sequence and annotate the genome, and to reveal the genes and pathways contributing to its biodegradation potential.

Results

Strain GbKAU of G. butleri isolated and purified from the organic compost was found to produce higher levels of laccase and amylase, compare
