Dentipellis sp. KUC8613 Genome sequencing and assembly. Dentipellis sp. KUC8613

Within the 1000 Fungal Genomes project, the genome of Dentipellis sp. KUC8613, the Dentipellis species found in Korea (East Asia), has been sequenced. Dentipellis sp. KUC8613 has been considered potential white-rot fungus for mycoremediation and several experimental tests showed this species have strong tolerance to Arsenic and Cadmium and biosorption activity for Arsenic and Lead. It also showed high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) tolerance compared than other white-rot fungi which makes this strain promising biodegrader.
