Fungi generate a wide range of extracellular hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes and reactive
metabolites, collectively known as the secretome, that synergistically drive plant litter
decomposition in the environment. While secretome studies of model organisms have
greatly expanded our knowledge of these enzymes, few have extended secretome
characterization to environmental isolates, particularly filamentous Ascomycetes, or directly
compared temporal patterns of enzyme utilization among diverse species. Thus, the …
