Ever since its discovery, the double-stranded DNA contained in the mitochondria of
eukaryotes has fascinated researchers because of its bacterial endosymbiotic origin, crucial …

Taxonomic names are key links between various databases that store information on
different organisms. Several global fungal nomenclural and taxonomic databases (notably …

Chytridiomycota (chytrids) is the only phylum of true Fungi that reproduces with motile
spores (zoospores). Chytrids currently are classified into five orders based on habitat …

Currently, no official DNA barcode region is defined for the Fungi. The COX1 gene DNA
barcode is difficult to apply. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been suggested …

The most bacteria-like mitochondrial genome known is that of the jakobid flagellate
Reclinomonas americana NZ. This genome also encodes the largest known gene set …

From their origin as an early alpha proteobacterial endosymbiont to their current state as
cellular organelles, large-scale genomic reorganization has taken place in the mitochondria …

Recent molecular studies suggest that Opisthokonta, the eukaryotic supergroup including
animals and fungi, should be expanded to include a diverse collection of primitively single …

Mortierella alpina is an oleaginous fungus which can produce lipids accounting for up to
50% of its dry weight in the form of triacylglycerols. It is used commercially for the production …

The Zygomycota is an ecologically heterogenous assemblage of nonzoosporic fungi
comprising two classes, Zygomycetes and Trichomycetes. Phylogenetic analyses have …
