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.

Schizothecium carpinicola IMI 314718

Fungal strain IMI 314718 of Schizothecium carpinicola was isolated from leaf litter of European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) in France. Schizothecium carpinicola belongs to Sordariales, family Schizotheciaceae. Corda first established the genus Schizothecium in 1838 [1].
