Draft genome sequence of Trichoderma lixii MUT 3171: insights into safe biotechnological application.
Trichoderma lixii
Several Trichoderma species (Ascomycota) can synthesize molecules of high biotechnological value, including lytic enzymes. Moreover, some Trichoderma species tolerate toxic compounds and have a remarkable potential to be used as mycoremediation in polluted soils. The saprotrophic Trichoderma lixii MUT 3171, deposited at the Mycotheca Universitatis Taurinensis (MUT), University of Turin, Turin, Italy, was isolated from soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Trichoderma lixii MUT 3171 is potentially useful in the bioremediation of sites contaminated with heavy hydrocarbons. The draft genome sequence of T. lixii MUT 3171 (40.9 Mb, GC 49.42 %, 11.920 protein-coding sequences) provided relevant information to understand the molecular basis of biotransformation of PAHs in polluted soils and can give insights into safe biotechnological application. The costs for the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) were supported by INAIL-DIT (PAR 2016-2018).
