TL;DR: The sequenced genome of Phanerochaete chrysosporium strain RP78 reveals an impressive array of genes encoding secreted oxidases, peroxidases and hydrolytic enzymes that cooperate in wood decay, and provides a framework for further development of bioprocesses for biomass utilization, organopollutant degradation and fiber bleaching.

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: Despite the unmistakable organizational similarities between the B. licheniformis and B. subtilis genomes, there are notable differences in the numbers and locations of prophages, transposable elements and a number of extracellular enzymes and secondary metabolic pathway operons that distinguish these species.

TL;DR: In this paper, an isolated polynucleotide of the complete chromosome of Bacillus licheniformis was used to encode biologically active substances and nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the genes.

TL;DR: The present invention relates to an isolated polynucleotide of the complete chromosome of Bacillus licheniformis and to isolated genes of the chromosome which encode biologically active substances and nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the genes as discussed by the authors.
