CSP 2019 Proposal "Comparative genomics and association mapping in Sordariales: insights into functional diversity in Neurospora and its relatives" aims to investigate the genomic bases of fungal thermophily and thermotolerance, biomass-degradation, and fungal-bacterial interactions. Sequencing multiple populations and species of Sordariales will enable comparative analysis across an order of biomass-degrading fungi frequently encountered in soil, compost and herbivore dung, and encompassing one of the few groups of thermophilic fungi.
Diplogelasinospora inaequalis CBS 436.74
Fungal strain CBS 436.74 was isolated from a soil sample near Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea. Species Diplogelasinospora inaequalis was described by Japanese mycologist Shun-ichi Udagawa in 1973 [1]. It belongs to Sordariales, family Diplogelasinosporaceae [2].
