Oxidative shock rewires gene expression in white rot fungus on wood

Researchers report that oxidative shock changes how white rot fungus regulates its genes as it grows on wood, a finding with implications for understanding how the fungus breaks down lignin and biomass. The study suggests oxidative stress triggers a shift in expression of genes involved in wood decay pathways.

Why now: New research on a fungus key to biomass and lignin degradation is of interest to biologists and bioengineers
