Abstract
Mycogone perniciosa is a mycoparasite causing Wet Bubble Diseases (WBD) of Agaricus bisporus. In the present study, the whole genome of M. perniciosa strain MgR1 was sequenced using Illumina NextSeq500 platform. This sequencing generated 8.03 Gb of high-quality data and a draft genome of 39 Mb was obtained through a de novo assembly of the high-quality reads. The draft genome resulted into prediction of 9276 genes from the 1597 scaffolds. NCBI-based homology analysis revealed the identification of 8660 genes. Notably, non-redundant protein database analysis of the M. perniciosa strain MgR1 revealed its close relation with the Trichoderma arundinaceum. Moreover, ITS-based phylogenetic analysis showed the highest similarity of M. perniciosa strain MgR1 with Hypomyces perniciosus strain CBS 322.22 and Mycogone perniciosa strain PPRI 5784. Annotation of the 3917 genes of M. perniciosa strain MgR1 grouped in three major categories viz. biological process (2583 genes), cellular component (2013 genes), and molecular function (2919 genes). UniGene analysis identified 2967 unique genes in M. perniciosa strain MgR1. In addition, prediction of the secretory and pathogenicity-related genes based on the fungal database indicates that 1512 genes (16% of predicted genes) encode for secretory proteins. Moreover, out of 9276 genes, 1296 genes were identified as pathogenesis-related proteins matching with 51 fungal and bacterial genera. Overall, the key pathogenic genes such as lysine M protein domain genes, G protein, hydrophobins, and cytochrome P450 were also observed. The draft genome of MgR1 provides an understanding of pathogenesis of WBD in A. bisporus and could be utilized to develop novel management strategies.Keywords
