Transcriptomic analysis of the marine-derived fungus Peniophora sp. CBMAI 1063

Enzymes with different properties than that already used in technological processes can be found in specific, unusual and/or poorly explored or unexplored environments. In this context, marine fungi represent an important niche for the discovery of new enzymes, which can provide the properties of interest for environmental and industrial sectors, such as tolerance or high-efficiency in saline conditions. Thus, this project has as main goal the transcriptome sequencing of the marine-derived fungus Peniophora sp. CBMAI 1063. Aiming to achieve new ligninolytic enzyme’s sequences expressed in an optimized media. The results obtained in this project may contribute to the development of marine biotechnology, exposing the marine-derived fungus Peniophora sp. CBMAI 1063 as a great source of new enzymes.
