Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from two strains of Trametes versicolor. Mycelium of Trametes versicolor BRFM1218 and Trametes versicolor 1956-1252 were harvested after 2 and 4 weeks of incubation on 4% malt agar medium and used for total RNA extraction. Paired-end reads of 100 bp were generated and aligned to Trametes versicolor (https://mycocosm.jgi.doe.gov/Trave1/Trave1.home.html) reference transcripts using CLC Genomics Workbench 7.5.1.

Poplar is an important and widely cultivated species of tree species, which isand extensively applied used in the pulping industry. However, the wood degradation mechanism of T. versicolor from transcriptomic level is not clear. To reveal identify the enzymes that contributeing to lignocellulose degraredauction and its degradation mechanisms, we evaluated transcriptomic how study theof T. versicolor transcriptome was changes during evaluated growthing on the poplar wood relative to growth on glucose medium. 853 genes were differentially expressed;, 360 genes were up-regulated on poplar wood, and 493 genes were down-regulated on poplar wood. Notably, most genes relative involved into lignin degradation were up-regulated, including eight lignin peroxidase (LiP) genes, and two manganese peroxidase (MnP) genes etc. Genes encoding cellulose and hemicelluloses degrading-enzymesation were mostly down-regulated, including six endo-β-1, 4-glucanase genes, three cellobiohydrolase I genes, and one cellobiohydrolase II gene, etc. MeanwhileAdditionally, expression of more significant expansion of P450s in T. versicolor genome, along with differences in carbohydrate- and lignin-degrading enzymes, could bewere correlated withto poplar wood degradation.

Project description:Background: Production of biofuels and bioproducts from lignocellulosic material is limited due to the complexity of the cell wall structure. This necessitates the use of physical, chemical, and/or physico-chemical pretreatment technologies, which adds significant capital, operational, and environmental costs. Biological pretreatment strategies have the potential to mitigate these expenses by harnessing the innate ability of specialized bacteria and fungi to deconstruct lignocellulose. White-rot fungi (e.g. Trametes versicolor) have been shown to be effective at biological pretreatment of lignocellulose, yet it was uncertain if these fungi are feedstock agnostic or are able to sense subtle changes in cell wall chemistry. Results: The present study examined the transcriptome response by Trametes versicolor to transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus tremula × alba) lines with altered syringyl (S) and guaiacyl (G) lignin. Specifically, the transcriptional response of the fungus to wild-type wood was compared to that from the wood of six transgenic lines within three lignin phenotypes, LSX (low S with hydroxy-G), LSHG (low S with high G), and HS (high S), with 350 transcripts showing significant differences among the samples. The transcriptome of T. versicolor varied according to the lignin phenotype of the wood, with the LSX wood resulting in the most substantial changes in T. versicolor transcript abundance. Specifically, the LSX wood led to 50 upregulated and 48 downregulated transcripts from WT at the 2-fold or greater threshold. For example, transcripts for the lignin peroxidases LiP3 and LiP10 were downregulated (approximately 12X and 31X lower, respectively) by the fungus on LSX wood compared to wild-type wood. LSX wood also resulted in approximately 11X lower transcript numbers of endo-β-1,4-glucanase yet led to an increase in expression of certain hemicellulases, further highlighting the altered deconstruction strategy by the fungus on this wood type. Conclusions: Overall, the results of this study demonstrated that T. versicolor was able to respond to transgenic poplar wood with the same genetic background, which has important implications for biological pretreatment strategies involving feedstocks that are genetically modified or have considerable natural variations in cell wall chemistry.
Project description:White-rot fungi (WRF), considered the most efficient organisms at degrading organic carbon in the biosphere, are found in plant cell wall lignin biopolymer. We employ multi-omics to demonstrate that Trametes versicolor and Gelatoporia subvermispora funnel lignin-derived aromatic compounds into central carbon metabolism via intracellular catabolic pathways. These results provide insights into global carbon cycling in soil ecosystems.
