Genome sequence of the novel Cystobasidiomycetes fungal isolate EMM_F5

mycolabadmin

Researchers isolated and sequenced the genome of a previously unclassified yeast called EMM_F5 found on Magnolia tree leaves. Through genetic analysis, they determined this yeast belongs to the Cystobasidiomycetes class and likely represents a new family called Microsporomycetaceae. This discovery fills an important gap in fungal genomics by providing the first genetic information available for this family of fungi.

Complete genome sequence of Diaporthe vaccinii Shear, a fungal isolated from blueberry

mycolabadmin

Scientists have sequenced the complete genetic blueprint of a fungus called Diaporthe vaccinii that causes serious disease in blueberry plants. Using advanced DNA sequencing technology, they created a high-quality map of the fungus’s 60.2 million base pair genome. This genetic information will help researchers understand how the fungus causes disease and potentially develop better ways to protect blueberry crops from this costly plant pathogen.
