Abstract Detail



Lignocellulose Deconstruction by Fungi

Baker, Scott [1].

Molecular tools for understanding biomass degradation.

Classical genetics screens for the isolation of high enzyme secretion mutants has been used successfully for close to 50 years. While these screens are relatively straight forward to set up, the association of physical loci with mutations causing the phenotype is labor intensive. Next generation sequencing has made it possible to rapidly associate phenotype a with genotypes. We have used next generation sequencing to associate biomass degradation enzyme secretion phenotype a with physical loci in Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma reesei and Neurospora crassa.
