Genome Sequence of the Fungus Glarea lozoyensis: the First Genome Sequence of a Species from the Helotiaceae Family
1 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
The anamorphic fungus Glarea lozoyensis mutant strain 74030 is an overproducer of pneumocandin B(0), which is chemically converted into Cancidas, a potent antibiotic against clinically important fungal pathogens. Pneumocandins are acylated, cyclic hexapeptides with unusual hydroxylated amino acids. With the Glarea lozoyensis genome, the first species from the large polyphyletic family Helotiaceae has been sequenced.
