[HTML][HTML] The evolution of fungal metabolic pathways
Fungi contain a remarkable range of metabolic pathways, sometimes encoded by gene
clusters, enabling them to digest most organic matter and synthesize an array of potent small …

Reconstructing the early evolution of Fungi using a six-gene phylogeny
…, B O'Rourke, M Crockett, M Binder, JM Curtis, JC Slot… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
The ancestors of fungi are believed to be simple aquatic forms with flagellated spores,
similar to members of the extant phylum Chytridiomycota (chytrids). Current classifications …

The Paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes
Wood is a major pool of organic carbon that is highly resistant to decay, owing largely to the
presence of lignin. The only organisms capable of substantial lignin decay are white rot …
