Abstract
Mangroves, owing to their unique living environment, serve as an important source of natural bioactive compounds. Sarcopodium sp. QM3–1, a marine fungus isolated from mangrove sediments of Quanzhou Bay, exhibited antifungal activity against the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Magnaporthe oryzae. Whole-genome sequencing of this fungal strain revealed a genome size of 58,356,150 bp with 17,960 protein-coding genes, 539 tRNA genes, and 170 rRNA genes. Functional annotation identified a series of genes involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, including several gene clusters associated with antimicrobial activity. Notably, twenty of these gene clusters were associated with the synthesis of known bioactive compounds, including terpene, polyketides (PKS), nonribosomal peptides (NRPS), β-lactones, and phosphonates. Our findings suggest that Sarcopodium sp. QM3–1 could be a promising candidate as a biocontrol agent for combating plant pathogens in agricultural fields.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on all functional and evolutionary aspects of genes, chromatin, chromosomes and (meta)genomes of marine (and freshwater) organisms. It deals with new genome-enabled insights into the broader framework of environmental science. Topics within the scope of this journal include:
• Population genomics and ecology
• Evolutionary and developmental genomics
• Comparative genomics
• Metagenomics
• Environmental genomics
• Systems biology
More specific topics include: geographic and phylogenomic characterization of aquatic organisms, metabolic capacities and pathways of organisms and communities, biogeochemical cycles, genomics and integrative approaches applied to microbial ecology including (meta)transcriptomics and (meta)proteomics, tracking of infectious diseases, environmental stress, global climate change and ecosystem modelling.
