A phylum-level phylogenetic classification of zygomycete fungi based on genome-scale data (2016, background): “…for which genome data and phylogenomic analyses have transformed our understanding of phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary processes (e.g. Floudas et al. 2012, Nagy et al. 2014, Kohler et al. 2015), genome data for zygomycetes have been sparse with respect to phylogenetic depth and…”
Extensive sampling of basidiomycete genomes demonstrates inadequacy of the white-rot/brown-rot paradigm for wood decay fungi (2014, background): “delicata have no basidiomycete-type laccases sensu stricto (17).”
Lignin degradation: microorganisms, enzymes involved, genomes analysis and evolution (2017, background): “group rather genetically heterogeneous, and to present some of them resemble white rot fungi (Floudas et al. 2012).”
Expansion of the enzymatic repertoire of the CAZy database to integrate auxiliary redox enzymes (2013, background): “In evolution, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota emerged around ~520 Myr after the split of the common ancestor (Dikarya) [61], with each group evolving its own set of ligninolytic enzymes.”
