The FUNG-GROWTH database: linking fungal phenotype to genome

Microbiol Resour Announc. 2025 Sep 11;14(9):e0037825. doi: 10.1128/mra.00378-25. Epub 2025 Aug 6.

Abstract

The utilization of plant biomass, polysaccharides, and associated monosaccharides is a crucial part of fungal physiology. With an increasing number of genomes, annotation can address differences in this process but often lacks detailed biological support. FUNG-GROWTH (https://www.fung-growth.org/) aims to provide and host this to improve genome analysis.

Keywords: fungi; growth profiles; monosaccharides; plant biomass; polysaccharides.
