The genome sequence and gene prediction of Thermothelomyces
myriococcoides CBS 39893 have not been determined by the Joint
Genome Institute (JGI), but were downloaded from CSFG on July 31,
2022. In order to allow comparative analyses with other fungal
genomes sequenced by the JGI, a copy of this genome is incorporated
into Mycocosm. Please note that this copy of the genome is not
automatically updated. JGI tools were used to automatically
annotate predicted proteins.
Thermothelomyces myriococcoides (Myriococcum
thermophilum) is a thermophilic fungus from the family
Chaetomiaceae. It grows at temperatures from 34-55 ºC with
growth optimum at 45 ºC (1). Studies on extracellular
cellobiose dehydrogenase for its potential application in biofuel
cells and biosensors has been reported (2). The genome of M.
thermophilum will provide insight into the Chaetomiaceae
family and thermophily.
