- Title
Genome sequence of an omnipotent fungus.
- Authors
Teeri, Tuula T.
- Abstract
This article focuses on a study related to the genome sequence of an omnipotent fungus. Fungi are ancient organisms that have long been harnessed for human benefit. Increased understanding of the role of fungal species in nutrient cycling and mycorrhizal associations promises improvements in agricultural practice. Plant biomass represents the key natural raw material for many current biotechnological processes and a sustainable source of future fuels, chemicals and materials. Lignocellulose, the major component of biomass, is composed of three main polymers as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.
