Lignin deconstruction by anaerobic fungi

Fungi from the Neocallimastigomycetes taxonomic class break bonds in lignin during the anaerobic deconstruction of whole plant cell walls. This finding challenges the paradigm that only certain aerobic organisms break down lignin.

Genomic and functional analyses of fungal and bacterial consortia that enable lignocellulose breakdown in goat gut microbiomes

More than 400 parallel enrichment experiments from goat faeces are analysed using metagenomics to evaluate how substrate and antibiotic selection affect membership, activity, stability and chemical productivity of herbivore gut microbiomes.

Lipo-chitooligosaccharides as regulatory signals of fungal growth and development

Lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) are signaling molecules produced by certain bacteria and fungi that establish symbiotic relationships with plants. Here, the authors show that LCOs are produced also by many other, non-symbiotic fungi, and regulate fungal growth and development.
