Draft genome sequence of Leptobacillium coffeanum (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales), a freshwater fungus isolated from Bohol, Philippines

Scientists in the Philippines have sequenced the complete genetic code of a freshwater fungus called Leptobacillium coffeanum, which was found in forest streams in Bohol. This fungus belongs to a family of fungi that can help control pests and produce useful compounds for agriculture and medicine. The complete genetic information is now available to researchers worldwide for studying how this fungus works and finding new ways to use it for practical applications.

Catalogue of fungi in China 1. New taxa of plant-inhabiting fungi

Scientists in China have discovered 33 new types of fungi, including 2 entirely new genera and 18 previously unknown species. These fungi were found growing on dead wood, leaves, and plant materials across different regions of China. By combining detailed microscopic observations with DNA analysis, researchers confirmed these are genuinely new species distinct from known types. This work is part of an ongoing effort to catalog and document all the diverse fungi living in China’s varied landscapes.
