Microbiologists from Stellenbosch University Produce Genetic Blueprint for Coniochaeta Pulveracea

Caption

Microbiologists from Stellenbosch University produced the first whole genome sequence of the wood-eating fungus, C. pulveracea. This relatively unknown and hard-to-find fungus has emerged as a voracious wood-munching organism with enormous potential in industries based on renewable resources. They are, from left to right, Prof Alf Botha, MSc-student CJ Borstlap, Dr Heinrich Volschenk and Dr Riaan de Witt. Photo: Stellenbosch University.
