Metagenomics Shines Light on the Evolution of Sunscreen Pigment Metabolism in the Teloschistales (Lichen-Forming Ascomycota)

Theo Llewellyn et al.

Summary: Fungi produce a large number of secondary metabolites that affect their interactions with other organisms and the environment. Understanding the genes involved in metabolite synthesis is important for studying fungal evolution and adaptation. By using metagenomic sequencing, researchers identified unique transporter genes in a diverse order of lichens that may explain the abundance and ubiquity of UV-protectant secondary metabolites in these lichens. The results highlight the significance of metagenomics in studying the secondary metabolism of non-model fungi like lichens.

High Diversity of Type I Polyketide Genes in Bacidia rubella as Revealed by the Comparative Analysis of 23 Lichen Genomes

Julia Gerasimova et al.

Summary: In this study, we conducted a comparative genomic analysis of 23 lichen-forming fungal genomes. We identified novel polyketide synthase genes and examined their domain composition. Our findings suggest that lichen-forming fungi genes could be a potential source for discovering new polyketide compounds.

Virus diversity in metagenomes of a lichen symbiosis (Umbilicaria phaea): complete viral genomes, putative hosts and elevational distributions

Dominik Merges et al.

Summary: This study used deep-sequenced metagenomic DNA and a population genomics approach to investigate viral diversity and distribution in the lichen Umbilicaria phaea. Five novel viruses were identified, with one associated with green algal photobionts. The distribution of viruses was found to be influenced by both environmental factors and host specificity, as shown by the study of elevation gradients.

Thallus Growth Stage and Geographic Origin Shape Microalgal Diversity in Ramalina farinacea Lichen Holobionts

Arantzazu Molins et al.

Summary: Lichen symbioses are microecosystems that host a variety of organisms beyond the main lichen symbionts. Recent studies have shown that microalgal diversity in lichens is influenced by the growth stage, geographic area, and habitat type. The balance of different photobionts in lichens may not be as previously assumed.

Depside and Depsidone Synthesis in Lichenized Fungi Comes into Focus through a Genome-Wide Comparison of the Olivetoric Acid and Physodic Acid Chemotypes of Pseudevernia furfuracea

Garima Singh et al.

Summary: The study identified the most likely PKS and FAS responsible for specific chemotypes of lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea using comparative genomics and metatranscriptomics. Results suggest that gene regulation and other epigenetic factors can determine the production of specific compounds by the mycobiont, indicating chemotype diversity in lichens may arise through regulatory factors rather than solely genetic diversity.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Lichenized Fungus Bacidia gigantensis

Jessica L. Allen et al.

Summary: The draft genome sequence of Bacidia gigantensis, a lichenized fungus in the order Lecanorales, was directly sequenced from a herbarium specimen collected in Sleeping Giant Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. Utilizing long-read sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore PromethION platform, a nearly complete genome sequence was assembled successfully.
