TL;DR: A phylogenomic approach was used to investigate the origin and diversity of fungal genes encoding putative PKSs that are predicted to synthesize type I PKs and found that the discontinuous distributions of orthologous P KSs among fungal species can be explained by gene duplication, divergence, and gene loss.

TL;DR: Differences between the CWDE arsenal of plant-pathogenic and non-plant- Pathogenic fungi are discussed, the importance of individual enzyme families for pathogenesis is highlighted, the secretory pathway that transports CWDEs out of the fungal cell is illustrated, and transcriptional regulation of expression of CWDE genes in both saprophytic and phytopathogenic fungi is reported.

TL;DR: Improved yields and productivities from cofermentation experiments performed with simulated cellulosic hydrolyzates are observed, suggesting this is a promising coferment strategy for cellulosIC biofuel production.

TL;DR: This review covers microscopic and genetic analysis of hyphal fusion and the molecular and geneticAnalysis of the consequence ofhyphal fusion between individuals that differ in specificity at het loci in filamentous ascomycetes.

TL;DR: A model for the role of the mating type‐specific sequences in heterothallic and homothallic species of Neurospora is presented and it is speculated on the origin of the different modes of reproduction in the genus neurospora.
