TL;DR: This work assembled 89 scaffolds to generate 34 Mbp of nearly contiguous T. reesei genome sequence comprising 9,129 predicted gene models, providing a roadmap for constructing enhanced T.Reesei strains for industrial applications such as biofuel production.

TL;DR: It is shown that certain GH61 proteins lack measurable hydrolytic activity but in the presence of various divalent metal ions can significantly reduce the total protein loading required to hydrolyze lignocellulosic biomass, and it is concluded that the GH 61 proteins are unlikely to be glycoside hydrolases.

TL;DR: Comparisons with the closely relatedwhite-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium support an evolutionary shift from white-rot to brown-rot during which the capacity for efficient depolymerization of lignin was lost.

TL;DR: These genomes are the first described for thermophilic eukaryotes and the first complete telomere-to-telomere genomes for filamentous fungi and suggest that both thermophiles are capable of hydrolyzing all major polysaccharides found in biomass.

TL;DR: In this article, isolated polypeptides having cellulolytic enhancing activity and isolated polynucleotides encoding the polyptides have been described, which relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polyn nucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the poly peptides.
