Carbohydrate degradation machineries in lichen fungal symbionts reveal distinct symbiotic footprints across Ascomycota

David Díaz-Escandón, Philipp Resl, Toby Spribille

The paper analyzes carbohydrate degradation machineries in lichen fungal symbionts and finds distinct enzymatic patterns linked to different carbon subsidy types.

Large differences in carbohydrate degradation and transport potential in the genomes of lichen fungal symbionts

Philipp Resl, Adina R. Bujold, Gulnara M. Tagirdzhanova, Peter Meidl, Sandra Freire Rallo, Mieko Kono, Samantha Fernández-Brime, Hörður Guðmundsson, Ólafur S. Andrésson, Lucía Muggia, Helmut Mayrhofer, John P. McCutcheon, Mats Wedin, Silke Werth, Lisa M. Willis, Toby Spribille

The paper compares carbohydrate-degrading enzyme gene inventories in lichen fungal symbionts and non-symbiont fungi, finding that lichen symbionts retain these genes despite lower numbers, suggesting functional diversity and potential for external carbon sources.

Lichen fungi do not depend on the alga for ATP production

Gulnara M. Tagirdzhanova, John P. McCutcheon, Toby Spribille

The paper shows lichen fungi retain a nuclear copy of the ATP9 gene, indicating they produce their own ATP despite lacking the mitochondrial version.
