Featured content
Release 18 of Ensembl Fungi sees the inclusion of the genomes two fungi with important industrial applications.
Yarrowia lipolytica is a yeast found in a wide range of natural environments that can utilise different carbon sources, ranging from fats to hydrocarbons. This makes it ideally suited to a range of industrial processes including the production of proteins, citric acid and flavouring agents.
The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is capable of secreting large quantities of cellulases and hemi cellulases. These enzymes can break down plant matter into other hydrocarbons, which makes this organism of great potential use for production of biofuels such as ethanol from plant biomass.
