Abstract
- Trichoderma harzianum 88, a filamentous soil fungus, is an effective biocontrol agent against several plant pathogens. High-throughput sequencing was used here to study the mycoparasitism mechanisms of T. harzianum 88. Plate confrontation tests of T. harzianum 88 against plant pathogens were conducted, and a cDNA library was constructed from T. harzianum 88 mycelia in the presence of plant pathogen cell walls. Randomly selected transcripts from the cDNA library were compared with eukaryotic plant and fungal genomes. Of the 1,386 transcripts sequenced, the most abundant Gene Ontology (GO) classification group was “physiological process”. Differential expression of 19 genes was confirmed by real-time RT-PCR at different mycoparasitism stages against plant pathogens. Gene expression analysis revealed the transcription of various genes involved in mycoparasitism of T. harzianum 88. Our study provides helpful insights into the mechanisms of T. harzianum 88-plant pathogen interactions.

Abstract
- In order to identify the secondary metabolism-related genes of Phanerochaete chrysosporium growing under pure O2 and nitrogen-limited conditions, 2322 ESTs fragments originated from two suppression-subtractive libraries were analyzed using the cDNA microarray technique. Ten significantly upregulated and 22 significantly downregulated genes were identified in the 72 h cultured mycelia RNA samples (secondary metabolism). According to qPCR, 16 out of the 32 genes were expressed differently in secondary metabolism. Transcripts of secondary metabolism up-regulation genes exhibited homologies to aryl-alcohol dehydrogenase (SSh1554), ABC transporter gene (SSH624), chitinase (SSH963), heat shock protein (SSH1193), catalase (SSH317), cytochrome P450 (SSH331), glucosamine-6-phosphate isomerase (SSH611), and alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (SSH362) genes. Ninety-three genes could be classified by Eukaryotic Orthologous Groups (KOG). Among the genes assigned a function, gene expression patterns were different in both secondary metabolism and primary metabolism. In the group of “Cellular Processes and Signaling,” most of the genes were from the primary metabolism library. On the other hand, genes from the secondary metabolism library were found mainly in the “Information Storage” and “Processing and Poorly Characterized” groups. Based on the KOG functional assignments, six genes belong to the ubiquitin system, and all of them were from primary metabolism phase. The presence of the H2O2-relevant genes suggested that parts of the genes expressed in 72 h might be involved in the ligninolytic process during secondary metabolism of P. chrysosporium.

Abstract
- Since sequencing of randomly selected cDNA clones has been known to be a powerful approach to obtain information on gene expression pattern in specific cells or tissues, we have analyzed a 3'-directed cDNA library of vegetative mycelia of A. nidulans by single-pass sequencing of hundreds of randomly selected clones. Sequencing of 292 cDNA clones yielded 209 gene signatures (GSs) probably representing highly or lesser expressed genes in the vegetative mycelia. Among the 209 GSs, 25 (79 cDNA clones) appeared more than once and 184 only once. One GS appeared at a highest frequency of 6 times, 2 GSs5 times, 4 GSs 4 times, a GSs 3 times and 16 GSs twice. About 6.6% GSs comprizing of 13 GSs showed alternative polyadenylation. Among 23 redundant GSs, three were common in both mycelia and sexual organs, and 22 were probably mycelia-specific. Out of 209 GSs, 36 were identified in GenBank showing of 70% or greater similaritis. Only six GSs were for A. nidulans genes, and 13 GSs were of DNA or genes encoding cytoplasmic or organellar proteins. This pattern is similar to those in the human HepG2 cell line and in human colonic mucosa, although very few genes for nuclear proteins and for protein synthesis were in A. nidulans.
