Genome Information for Mucor circinelloides
The oleaginous fungus, Mucor circinelloides, is one of few fungi that produce high amounts of γ-linolenic acid (GLA); however, it usually only produces <25% lipid. Nevertheless, a new strain (WJ11) isolated in our laboratory can produce lipid up to 36%(w/w). However, the genome information and molecular mechanism of the high oleaginicity in this strain is unknown. The genome of WJ11 will reveal new insights into the molecular basis for the lipid accumulation and provides rich genetic information that will be useful for the development of M. circinelloides as an oleaginous model fungus.
