Liquid fermentation and an adapted cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method enable sequencing-grade DNA extraction from Phanerodontia australis.

High-quality genomic DNA extraction from basidiomycete fungi remains challenging due to polysaccharide co-purification and nuclease-mediated DNA degradation. We systematically compared 22 experimental conditions combining five DNA extraction methods (one Dellaporta-based method, three CTAB-based variants, and one commercial kit) with five mycelium preparation techniques (scalpel scraping, fungal suspension, silica bead homogenization, liquid fermentation, and liquid nitrogen treatment) for Phanerodontia australis (BRM62389). DNA quality was assessed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, NanoDrop spectrophotometry, and Qubit fluorimetry. The optimal protocol combined liquid-fermentation mycelium with an adapted CTAB method, yielding Qubit-quantified concentrations of 34.2 and 62.6 ng/µL (samples S21 and S22), 260/280 ratios of 2.06 and 2.05, 260/230 ratios of 1.88 and 1.85, and no detectable DNA degradation by agarose gel electrophoresis. This protocol enabled whole-genome sequencing, yielding a 37.62 Mb assembly with 98.5% completeness as assessed by BUSCO v5 (basidiomycota_odb10 lineage dataset, n = 1,764). Liquid fermentation is associated with the production of younger, actively growing hyphae with reduced cell wall thickness, and the adapted CTAB method effectively removed residual polysaccharides. This protocol provides a reliable, cost-effective approach for obtaining sequencing-grade DNA from P. australis.

Sequential batch culture studies for the decolorisation of reactive dye by Coriolus versicolor.

The white rot fungus Coriolus versicolor could decolorise reactive dye Remazol Brilliant Violet to almost 90%. The fungal mycelia removed color as well as COD up to 95% and 75%, respectively, in a batch reactor. Decolorising activity was observed during the repeated reuse of the fungus. It was possible to substantially increase the dye decolorising activity of the fungus by carefully selecting the operational conditions such as media composition, age of fungus and nitrogen source. The fungal pellets could be used for eight cycles during the long term operation, where medium and dye was replenished at the end of each cycle and the fungus was recycled. Presence of a nitrogen source and nutrient content of media played an important role in sustaining the decolorisation activity of the fungus. The form of nitrogen source (e.g. peptone vs. urea) was also important to maintain the decolorising activity with peptone showing better decolorisation.

Phylogenetical approach to isolation of white-rot fungi capable of degrading polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin.

A degradation experiment on PCDDs and phylogenetical analyses were carried out on newly isolated 2,7-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,7-diCDD)-degrading white-rot fungi, strains BMC3014, BMC9152, and BMC9160. When these fungi were incubated with tri- or tetraCDDs, the substrates were degraded efficiently, and hydroxylated metabolites were detected. On the other hand, 1,3,6,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was not decreased, and no metabolites were detected. Phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) containing rRNA gene sequence (ITS-rDNA) clarified that these strains belonged to the genus Phlebia and were closely related to the fungi Phlebia lindtneri, strains MZ-227 and MG-60, which had both been isolated as 2,7-diCDD-degrading fungi in our previous study. Based on this phylogenetical relationship, other Phlebia genera species were used for a degradation experiment on 2,7-diCDD and 1,3,6,8-tetraCDD. Phlebia acerina and Phlebia brevispora degraded 2,7-diCDD about 40 and 80%, respectively, over 14 days of incubation. It became clear that P. brevispora can degrade 1,3,6,8-tetraCDD and transform it to monohydroxy-tetraCDD, monomethoxy-tetraCDD, dimethoxy-tetraCDD, dimethoxy-triCDD, and 3,5-dichlorocatechol in the treatment cultures. In this paper, we could clearly prove for the first time by identifying the metabolites that white-rot fungus P. brevispora could degrade the recalcitrant dioxin, 1,3,6,8-tetraCDD.
