Abstract

DNA-hybridisation studies showed a close relationship between Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446, most used in lignin degradation studies, and Sporotrichum pulverulentum Novobranova, the other standard lignin degrading strain. Two other strains of P. chrysosporium were both less related. We show that P. chrysosporium ME446 and S. pulverulentum Novobranova both have a GC-content of 59% for chromosomal DNA with the rRNA genes present as an AT-rich satellite; the mitochondrial DNA has a GC-content of 33%. The genome size estimated for P. chrysosporium ME446 is about 4-5 × 10(7) bp.
