Molecular mechanism of chemical diversity of thermophilic fungus and its ecological and biological functions - EurekAlert
<p>In a paper published in <strong><em>Mycology</em></strong>, scientists present diverse chemical and ecological functions of two specific <em>P450</em> genes in a dominant thermophilic fungus <em>Thermomyces dupontii</em> with an optimal growth temperature of 45-50 °C and a minimum growth temperature of 37 °C. <em>T. dupontii </em>has adapted to environmental temperatures in the biosphere as a key eukaryote decomposer with a sharply reduced genome size.</p>
