Lentinula edodes 135A Genome sequencing and assembly. Lentinula edodes 135A

Lentinus edodes is known not only as a food but also as a medicinal mushroom for thousands of years in Far East countries. Today, this mushroom has become popular in many other areas, because some biological active compone, which may affect the immune system, possess antibacterial properties, reduce platelet aggregation, or possess antiviral properties, has been found in lentinus edodes. The lentinus edodes genome research plays an ecologically significant role in the production and application of lentinus edodes.
