Abstract
As the most abundant and renewable natural resource in the world, lignocellulose is a promising alternative to fossil energy to relieve environmental concerns and resource depletion. However, due to its recalcitrant structure, strains with efficient degradation capability still need exploring. In this study, a fungus was successfully isolated from decayed wood and named as Trichoderma asperellum LYS1 by phylogenetic and draft genomic analysis. The further investigations showed that strain LYS1 had an outstanding performance on lignocellulose degradation, especially for hemicellulose-rich biomass. After the analysis of encoded CAZymes, mainly on GH family, a large amount of genes coding β-glucosidase and xylanase may contribute to the high degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose. Collectively, the results generated in this study demonstrated that T. asperellum LYS1 is a potential cell factory for lignocellulose biorefinery.

[PMID: 37142361 DOI: 10.1016/j.funbio.2023.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
The Botryosphaeriaceae family comprises numerous fungal pathogens capable of causing economically meaningful diseases in a wide range of crops. Many of its members can live as endophytes and turn into aggressive pathogens following the onset of environmental stress events. Their ability to cause disease may rely on the production of a broad set of effectors, such as cell wall-degrading enzymes, secondary metabolites, and peptidases. Here, we conducted comparative analyses of 41 genomes representing six Botryosphaeriaceae genera to provide insights into the genetic features linked to pathogenicity and virulence. We show that these Botryosphaeriaceae genomes possess a large diversity of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes; 128 families) and peptidases (45 families). Botryosphaeria, Neofusicoccum, and Lasiodiplodia presented the highest number of genes encoding CAZymes involved in the degradation of the plant cell wall components. The genus Botryosphaeria also exhibited the highest abundance of secreted CAZymes and peptidases. Generally, the secondary metabolites gene cluster profile was consistent in the Botryosphaeriaceae family, except for Diplodia and Neoscytalidium. At the strain level, Neofusicoccum parvum NpBt67 stood out among all the Botryosphaeriaceae genomes, presenting a higher number of secretome constituents. In contrast, the Diplodia strains showed the lowest richness of the pathogenicity- and virulence-related genes, which may correlate with their low virulence reported in previous studies. Overall, these results contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying pathogenicity and virulence in remarkable Botryosphaeriaceae species. Our results also support that Botryosphaeriaceae species could be used as an interesting biotechnological tool for lignocellulose fractionation and bioeconomy.
