Schizophyllum commune strain:IUM1114-SS01 Genome sequencing and assembly. Schizophyllum commune strain:IUM1114-SS01

The basidiomycetes fungus Schizophyllum commune has been used as a model of mushroom development because it takes short time for fruiting body formation on synthetic media, its whole genome sequence is publicly available, and many molecular tools are applicable. In addition, this fungus is easily found on trees where it decomposes recalcitrant lignin. Recently, we screened 81 S. commune strains for the decolorizing activities for four textile dyes and found one good candidate with decolorization for all dyes. Then we isolated a single basidiospore from the strain. Therefore, the whole-genome de novo sequencing of S. commune IUM1114-SS01 was performed to further understand the dye-decolorizing enzyme systems of this fungus.
