Genomic insights reveal community structure and phylogenetic associations of endohyphal bacteria and viruses in fungal endophytes

Efraín Escudero‐Leyva, M. Belle, Abolfazl DadkhahTehrani, James N. Culver, Marcelo Araya‐Salas, Joseph P Kutza, Natasha Goldson, Max Chavarría, Priscila Chaverri-Echandi

This study characterizes endohyphal bacterial and viral communities in fungal endophytes, revealing host specialization in bacteria and limited viral associations, with dsDNA viruses dominating the virome.

Endophyte genomes support greater metabolic gene cluster diversity compared with non-endophytes in Trichoderma

Kelsey L. Scott, Zachary M. Konkel, Emile Gluck‐Thaler, Guillermo E. Valero David, Coralie Farinas, Django Grootmyers, Priscila Chaverri-Echandi, Jason C. Slot

The paper compares metabolic gene clusters and mycoparasitism genes in endophytic and non-endophytic Trichoderma genomes to uncover genomic features associated with the endophytic lifestyle.
