Metabolic Diversity of Trichoderma
Metabolic Diversity of Trichoderma
- Biotechnology and Biology of Trichoderma , p.363-376, 2014 .
Members of the genus Trichoderma are among of the most commonly disseminated fungi in nature. They can grow in a great variety of carbon and nitrogen substrates. Trichoderma spp. have a fine metabolic regulation that is able to respond to environmental changes and to nutrient and oxygen limitations. They therefore produce a range of enzymes to degrade homopolysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides, which are important for survival. Fungal strains of the genus Trichoderma are also well-known producers of secondary metabolites with antibiotic activity that are important for the biocontrol of phytopathogens. Due to the commercial importance, the genomes of many Trichoderma species have been sequenced completely, and the organisms have been studied in detail by functional genomics and molecular biochemistry. The accumulated knowledge allows a better understanding of the metabolic diversity among different species of Trichoderma, which is important for metabolic engineering in Trichoderma for commercial purposes.
