20.500.12556/RUL-134939 Shed light in The daRk lineagES of the fungal tree of life—STRES The polyphyletic group of black fungi within the Ascomycota (Arthoniomycetes, Dothideomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes) is ubiquitous in natural and anthropogenic habitats. Partly because of their dark, melanin-based pigmentation, black fungi are resistant to stresses including UV- and ionizing-radiation, heat and desiccation, toxic metals, and organic pollutants. Consequently, they are amongst the most stunning extremophiles and poly-extreme-tolerant organisms on Earth. Even though ca. 60 black fungal genomes have been sequenced to date, [mostly in the family Herpotrichiellaceae (Eurotiomycetes)], the class Dothideomycetes that hosts the largest majority of extremophiles has only been sparsely sampled. By sequencing up to 92 species that will become reference genomes, the “Shed light in The daRk lineagES of the fungal tree of life” (STRES) project will cover a broad collection of black fungal diversity spread throughout the Fungal Tree of Life. Interestingly, the STRES project will focus on mostly unsampled genera that display different ecologies and life-styles (e.g., ant- and lichen-associated fungi, rock-inhabiting fungi, etc.). With a resequencing strategy of 10- to 15-fold depth coverage of up to ~550 strains, numerous new reference genomes will be established. To identify metabolites and functional processes, these new genomic resources will be enriched with metabolomics analyses coupled with transcriptomics experiments on selected species under various stress conditions (salinity, dryness, UV radiation, oligotrophy). The data acquired will serve as a reference and foundation for establishing an encyclopedic database for fungal metagenomics as well as the biology, evolution, and ecology of the fungi in extreme environments. adaptation black fungi Dothideomycetes Eurotiomycetes extremophiles genomics metabolomics secondary metabolites stress conditions transcriptomics biotehnologija glive genomika metabolomika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-02-11 14:19:39 2022-02-11 14:19:40 2022-09-14 04:10:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 13 str. iss. 12, art. 362 Vol. 10 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 60 2075-1729 10.3390/life10120362 46899203 RAZ_Selbmann_Laura_2020.pdf RAZ_Selbmann_Laura_2020.pdf 1 DB8B633308D578C027FEA2A8ABD9158F 3b3e47dea892186708110909963e584dcda9af90e57616f490231c944d2e63b2 d908db48-8b40-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153706 https://www.mdpi.com/2075-1729/10/12/362 1 09fc036a-8b3d-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153703 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
